ECAD Synthelyzer Plugin
Component De-rating & MTBF Prediction Plugin for a Single PCB

Key Features:

Easy-to-use PCB Accurate Component Analysis: Collects data and performs lightweight derating analysis to predict component lifespan under various operating conditions. This analysis can be applied to the entire PCB design or specific sections.
Calculates PCB reliability: Estimates how long a PCB can function using component count and stress level methods.
Automates FMECA analysis: Assigns components to different functions and their potential failure modes within the PCB design.

Saves time and reduces errors: Automates manual tasks and provides more accurate data for reliable designs.
Shortens design cycles: Streamlines the design process by automating analysis.
Delivers more robust products: Helps identify and address potential failure points for higher quality PCBs.
Seamless analysis-to-design traceability: Ensure every analysis aligns with real-time design updates, maintaining clarity and relevance.
Traceability: By directly connecting the analysis to the most recent schematic version, we achieve complete traceability, making it easier to verify and validate the analysis.

Focuses on PCB analysis: Unlike traditional system-level tools, it analyzes individual components on a PCB.
Integrates with design tools: Works seamlessly with the most popular ECAD software for in-workflow analysis.
Provides granular insights: Enables detailed analysis of potential failure points for accurate PCB reliability predictions.
