DesignSpark PCB Software

Whether you're looking for a design-alone tool, a range of technical information, or a complete design ecosystem, our comprehensive circuit design software suite can be seamlessly integrated into your existing design workflow.

Integration provides a transparency in the change management procedure, better teamwork efficiency, and a higher level of workflow and issue management throughout the project. This leads to the reduction, or even prevention, of delays and easier problem solving.

Some PCB boards require the use of up to 50 layers, but not all PCB design software allows that. DesignSpark gives you the freedom to use as many layers as you need.

Not only that, but there are no limits on the maximum number of nodes or pads, and no restriction on the number of connections. The maximum PCB size is 1m X 1m. You can always start from a reference PCB design to save time.

Build your parts’ symbols and footprints to industry standards with the help of our ready-to-use embedded libraries. Alternatively, create your own part models to your own specifications in the library editor.

You can also take advantage of our easy-to-use online tools to obtain models of the parts you need.

DesignSpark PCB enables you to prepare unrestricted fabrication files, whether Gerber, IPC or ODB++, to order PCBs from your favourite manufacturer, or let our Mint Tek PCB Quote service help you to order prototype PCBs. This feature is also available from within our PCB design software.

Prepare a bill of materials (BOM) that includes all the parts, items, assemblies, and other resources you need in the format you prefer, then easily order the parts whenever convenient. You can do so using the built-in BOM Quote functionality available through our circuit design software. Simply upload your BOM to the RS Components website using the BOM Quote service – and let us find the parts for you.

The LTspice simulator, which is well-integrated in the DesignSpark PCB Schematic Capture environment, makes it more feasible to conduct circuit simulations. It allows you to export your work easily and quickly to Spice Simulation, outputting different netlist formats, including LTspice, IsSpice, B2 Spice and TINA.
