• Schematic Symbols for Integrated Circuits

    July 20, 2020 The SnapEDA Team

    Pin naming, pin setting, and pin arrangement are the 3 most important factors to consider when creating the schematic symbol for an IC device. Considering these aspects will help you create a direct and functional design. At SnapEDA, we developed our own internal standards based on these 3 factors.  PIN NAMING To avoid incorrect pin…

  • SnapEDA launches new 3D viewer

    June 9, 2020 The SnapEDA Team

    We’re excited to share that we have launched a new and improved 3D viewer for our parts. It allows engineers to preview 3D models available on SnapEDA before download.  We’ve added three key features, based on feedback from our community. First, we’ve added dimensions to the viewer so that engineers can verify key measurements before…

  • New Symbol and Footprint Filter to Find CAD Models Faster

    July 28, 2016 The SnapEDA Team

    PCB designers often tell us that they select electronic components for their designs based on whether they can find symbols and footprints for them. To some extent it makes sense: the investment that goes into making CAD models is significant, and can instantly derail progress on a design. Of course, it’s also human nature to prefer the path of…

  • Introducing the SnapEDA EAGLE Plugin: Find Symbols and Footprints From Within EAGLE (Alpha Release)!

    March 3, 2016 The SnapEDA Team

    When we initially launched SnapEDA, the goal was to make it as easy as possible for engineers to find CAD models (PCB footprints, schematic symbols, 3D models) for their electronic design tool of choice, in a way that provided them with unprecedented transparency into standards and quality. Our vision was to give engineers the freedom to innovate and optimize their designs, with…
