Use cases

Start with the hardware work your team already needs to do.

Review schematics and layout in full context. Create library parts from datasheets. Keep the approved library consistent, design bounded circuit blocks, and watch the BOM. Every workflow defines its inputs, its output, and the decision an engineer keeps.

Connected review

Review the change, not just the schematic.

A Circuitly review spans schematic and layout together, and runs against everything the change touches: the firmware that drives the pins, the requirements the rail must hold, MCAD outline and keep-outs, the datasheets, the revision history, and your own engineering standards. Findings arrive with evidence attached — and wait for an engineer to approve them.

Revision diffs, requirements coverage, firmware pin maps and calibration constants, datasheet limits, MCAD fit, and your review rules all feed one schematic-and-layout review; findings wait for an engineer's approval.

Four more capabilities

The same harness, pointed at the rest of the work.

Review is where most teams start. The library, the BOM, and the bounded design block run through the same connected context and the same rule: Circuitly prepares the work, an engineer approves it.

PART CREATION

From datasheet PDF to reviewable symbol and footprint.

Circuitly reads the datasheet and your library conventions, then generates the part as native library files your librarian approves — instead of an engineer transcribing pin tables.

TPS54331 → symbol + IPC-7351 footprint
Open use case
LIBRARY MANAGEMENT

One approved library, kept consistent while projects move.

Duplicates, footprint drift, stale datasheets, and post-approval EOL surface as an audit with proposed fixes — and the library owner decides what changes.

2 symbols for STM32F103C8T6 → 1
Open use case
DESIGN

A 3V3/2A buck stage you review as a diff.

Delegate the bounded, mid-complexity block — grounded in your library and the datasheets, with assumptions written down — and keep the architecture yours.

power-spec.md → proposed schematic diff
Open use case
BOM OPTIMIZATION

When U5 goes end-of-life, arrive with alternates — not a respin.

The BOM is monitored between revisions, and every candidate substitution is scored against the circuit it serves, trade-offs stated, for an engineer to approve.

U5 LTB → 3 alternates, trade-offs stated

Scenario library

Eleven ways teams put the harness to work.

Each scenario defines the inputs, the engineering output, and the human decision point.

Choose the first workflow by value, context, and risk.

We’ll help identify a bounded use case where your team can learn quickly without weakening engineering control.
