Kickstart Your Next Design Faster with NXP's Block Diagram Designer | EdgeVerse Techcast


In this EdgeVerse Techcast episode, co-hosts Kyle Dando and Bridgette Stone welcome Rebecca Phillips from NXP's digital online experience team to introduce NXP's new Block Diagram Designer, a web-based tool that helps engineers move from concept to design faster by turning the "blank page" into a structured, component-based block diagram. Rebecca explains how engineers can start from reusable application templates or a blank canvas, get assistance choosing compatible components using built-in design rules, and export designs to industry-standard EDA tools like Eagle, Altium, and Autodesk to speed handoff into implementation. The tool is powered by technical documentation and design files organized as "CUBOS," covering NXP and required non-NXP parts, with datasheets and related resources linked in one place.
