Description
Flux is a browser-based electronic design automation (EDA) platform for designing printed circuit boards. It brings schematic capture, PCB layout, simulation, routing, and design rule checks into a shared online workspace.
Its AI hardware design assistant helps turn plain-language circuit requirements into schematics, research components, place parts, route traces, and review designs. Engineers can edit the results, define design constraints, and review the board before manufacturing.
Multiple users can work on the same design in real time, leave comments, and manage project permissions. Reusable community circuits and component libraries help teams start new designs, while live component pricing and availability support part selection.
Flux exports Gerber, bill of materials (BOM), and pick-and-place files. It accepts Altium ASCII and Cadence EDIF schematics and KiCad component libraries. These imports do not include PCB layouts.
Flux is used by electronics engineers, hardware startups, and product teams. A trial includes limited AI usage; after the trial, a paid plan is required to edit or export private projects and use AI. Public-project and community access remain available.
Description
Perforce IPLM (formerly Methodics) Platform for Full Traceability With a modern platform, collaborate on worldwide semiconductor design. The development process can be costly and time-consuming for both the semiconductor and chip design teams. There is very little room for error and you must start over. You can speed up time-to-market by sharing and reusing IP. You can also design it once and reuse multiple versions. This will help you drive more revenue for your company. Perforce IPLM makes this possible. Perforce IPLM (IP lifecycle management) is a comprehensive platform that manages IP. It allows companies of any size to have full control over the design and integration both of their internal and external design elements. This includes libraries, new digital and analog design, and standalone IP. Perforce IPLM maximizes internal design traceability and reuse through tight coupling of IP creators and IP consumers.
