Inductor Design Pro vs PCB Studio Maker

Inductor Design Pro is a secure, offline-first power inductor design tool for power electronics engineers and magnetic component design workflows. Core capabilities: AP-method and LI²-method core selection, joint core-and-winding iteration, Pareto non-dominated filtering with DQS five-dimension scoring (loss, core volume, thermal margin, manufacturability, risk), and automatic multi-candidate comparison. Supports custom material / core / bobbin databases merged with the built-in library. Peak flux density B_max is optional — leave blank to auto-determine from material and operating temperature; if set manually, use values appropriate to the material family to avoid excluding viable cores too early. Topologies: Buck, Boost, Forward (output filter inductor only, not the transformer), and Interleaved Buck (multi-phase, one inductor per phase), with CCM / DCM / BCM modes and full co-evaluation of core, material, air gap, temperature rise, and losses. Parameter sweep: frequency sweep and ripple-ratio / DCM sweep charts visualize how inductance and core size vary with key parameters, helping you trade off switching frequency against core size. Workflow: three-step closed loop (Specifications & Constraints → Core & Winding Selection → Summary & Report), with PDF report and JSON design-file export. Built-in core and wire database included. Privacy & data: core design runs locally; design data stays on your device and is never uploaded to the developer’s servers. Subscription and restore purchases require a network connection. Subscription: Inductor Design Pro Annual Subscription, 1-year term, auto-renews at expiry, $29.99/year (Mainland China ¥198/year; other regions as shown in the App Store). New users get a 14-day full-feature free trial — see the Subscription tab (3rd tab in the app). Manage or cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions; no refund for the current period. Privacy commitment: no data collection, no account system.

PCB Studio Maker is a modern PCB design workspace built for Mac, iPhone and iPad. Create electronic projects from schematic to finished board using a clean, focused interface designed for fast prototyping, learning and real-world hardware development. Start with your schematic, organize components and nets, sync your design with the PCB layout, route tracks, inspect connections and preview your board in 3D before preparing it for manufacturing. KEY FEATURES • Schematic Design Create and organize electronic circuits with components, pins, nets and footprints. • PCB Layout Editor Place components, route copper tracks, add vias, inspect layers and refine your board layout. • Component Library Browse common resistors, capacitors, LEDs, connectors, ICs, MOSFETs, drivers, regulators and other electronic components. • 3D Board Preview Visualize your PCB and component placement in an interactive 3D view. • Design Rule Checks Review warnings, connectivity issues and potential design problems before manufacturing. • Manufacturing Preparation Review board layers, footprints, routing and fabrication requirements before export. • Export Tools Prepare manufacturing packages, board previews, parts lists, project files and other useful design outputs. • Multi-Device Workflow Use PCB Studio Maker on Mac, iPhone and iPad and continue designing wherever you work. PCB Studio Maker is useful for: • Electronics students • Makers and hobbyists • Embedded developers • Robotics projects • IoT development • Prototype electronics • PCB experimentation • Hardware engineers Whether you are building a simple prototype, motor controller, sensor board, embedded system or custom electronics project, PCB Studio Maker gives you the tools to move from idea to physical board in one streamlined workspace. Design. Route. Preview. Manufacture. Build your next PCB with PCB Studio Maker.
