In this year’s annual survey, we asked engineers what we could do to continue improving the CAD models we provide on SnapEDA. The top request – understandably – was that engineers simply wanted more symbols, footprints and 3D models. We got started on that right away. In mere months, our component engineering team added nearly…

NC Pins in Integrated Circuits
Read moreNC pins, also called unconnected or no-connect pins, are IC terminals with no internal connection and no external function. These are some of the most commonly used pin names for unconnected pins and how you’ll find them in component datasheets:* NC = No-Connect* DNC = Do Not Connect* DNU = Do Not Use What are…

Using IEEE Symbols
Read moreWhat is IEEE? IEEE (pronounced as I, triple E) stands for Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. This is an association that develops design-based, functional standards to follow in the electronics design industry. At SnapEDA, we create symbols based on IEEE 315-1975 standard (as well as ANSI, CSA and IEC approved symbols) and our own internal…

Introducing the SnapEDA KiCad Plugin
Read moreAt SnapEDA, our mission from the beginning has been to help engineers design electronics faster by removing barriers. In 2013, we launched our search engine devoted to electrical engineering CAD content (symbols, footprints, simulation models, etc.) with the hypothesis being that if we could provide engineers with the building blocks they needed to design electronics…
