How it works

From netlist to findings in minutes

01

Upload your design

Drop your KiCad .net file and BOM. We parse every component, identify ICs, and detect do-not-place parts automatically.

02

Datasheet extraction

Every IC gets its datasheet downloaded and distilled into pin definitions, absolute max ratings, required external components, and design notes.

03

Expert review

Your netlist is cross-referenced against every datasheet requirement. The review catches misconnections, missing components, voltage violations, and more.

What we check

Every critical design parameter

Transistor biasingVerify every FET/BJT has correct gate/base bias and pull-down connections
Power domain isolationDetect unintended shorts between voltage rails through 0R or direct wiring
Voltage marginsCross-reference abs max ratings against actual supply voltages including transients
Required componentsConfirm every datasheet-required cap, resistor, and external component exists
Open-drain outputsVerify external pull-ups on all open-drain and open-collector pins
Feedback dividersCheck regulator math against the reference voltage from the datasheet
Boot/strapping pinsConfirm all mode-select, address, and boot pins are properly defined
NC pin complianceVerify no-connect pins are unconnected and pin functions match datasheets
ESD/TVS protectionCheck for missing protection on externally-exposed connectors and high-energy rails
Decoupling & bypassingConfirm every IC power pin has proper decoupling (type, ESR, placement)
Protocol complianceI2C pull-ups, CAN termination, USB series resistors, SPI/UART wiring
Analog filteringVerify ADC inputs, sensor outputs, and feedback nodes have appropriate filtering
Level translationCheck voltage translation between different logic domains is correctly implemented
Crystal loadingVerify oscillator load caps match crystal specifications
Net conflictsDetect multiple IC pins shorted together from overlapping schematic net labels
Enable defaultsCheck that enable pins default to safe states based on internal pull-up/down behavior
DNP awarenessRecognize intentionally unpopulated components and skip false positives
Pricing

50% less than hiring an engineer

A senior EE charges $125-200/hr for schematic review — typically $200-2,000 per board. PromptPCB delivers the same thoroughness for a fraction of the cost, in minutes instead of days.
