In today's competitive electronics market, it's not enough for designs to be functional; they must also be durable. Derating, which involves operating components below their maximum limits, is a proven way to reduce failures and extend product lifespan.
Why is derating important?
Component overload due to heat, current, voltage, or power exceeding safety limits is a major cause of field returns and rework. Traditional manual derating checks are time-consuming, error-prone, and often disconnected from your ECAD process.

Our advanced tool integrated into ECAD automates derating analysis and integrates it directly into your schematic design workflow:
- Automates the analysis of electrical constraints and derating for each component in your bill of materials.
- Integrates seamlessly with Altium Designer, OrCAD et Xpedition.
- Detects components subjected to excessive stress before layout, thus reducing redesign cycles.
- Improves reliability and reduces field failures, while optimizing design costs and performance.
By integrating derating analysis into your ECAD tool, you can anticipate, identify, and resolve potential reliability issues early in the design cycle. This reduces engineering time, lowers costs, and significantly improves the robustness of your printed circuit boards.
