The latest updates to our KiCad exporter
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
NC 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…
