Instead of discovering thermal or electrical weaknesses only after a prototype has been built, they can already be analyzed based on existing PCB data. PCB-Investigator Physics makes it possible to…

Catch thermal issues before the first prototypeThermal problems are among the most expensive surprises in PCB development. If hotspots, critical trace resistance, or unexpected voltage drops only appear after fabrication,…
Link PCB documentation and layout without manual cross-checkingOne of the most time-consuming parts of PCB development is still the manual comparison between the board layout, the schematic, and the supporting…
Why creepage matters in high-voltage PCB designOnce a design exceeds 30 V, safety requirements become much stricter. Standards such as DIN EN 60664 / VDE 0110, IPC-2221A, and UL60950-1 define…
Track PCB changes without the manual overheadIn PCB design reviews, the smallest change can trigger the biggest delays if it is not tracked properly. That is why Database Compare in…
Evaluate capacitance early in the layoutIn high-frequency PCB design, signal quality is influenced not only by impedance but also by the capacitance to the reference plane. On DDR4, USB, LVDS,…
Why manual PCB comparison slows down reviewsIn PCB development, design comparisons often become a bottleneck. When revisions, variants, or layout updates are checked manually, the process takes time and the…
Creepage Analysis: prevent safety issues before they reach productionOnce a PCB design moves above 30 V, creepage is no longer a theoretical compliance item. It becomes a practical safety requirement…
Catch thermal issues before the prototype stageIn PCB development, thermal problems often surface too late—after layout is finalized, during bring-up, or once the first prototype is already on the bench.…
