  • PCB123
    PCB123 is a PCB layout tool that provides the complete circuit board solution, design through order, for your prototyping and production PCB needs. PCB123 interactively checks your PCB prototype designs against our manufacturing tolerances (DRC), and also quotes your board as you design. You know the cost and lead time for your design even as you create it. Click the in-application ORDER button, and your boards are delivered in days.
    • Version 3.3
      Release Notes
      Requirements: Windows XP, Windows Vista
      Description: The most recent version of PCB123. If you’re an accomplished PCB designer, you’ll find our integrated schematic and PCB layout editing to be a productivity enhancer. Combined with performance enhancements, improved library management tools for your parts, and a Software Developer’s Kit (SDK) that allows you to write your own plug-ins, Version 3.3 is a truly commercial-grade tool. Opens and migrates version 2.1 layouts (but not the schematics) seamlessly. PCB123 is the all-in-one tool for your PCB layouts and prototypes.

        Sunstone Circuits’ technological collaboration with Digi-Key Corporation and NXP Semiconductor provides Sunstone PCB123 CAD users access to ready-made, certified parts symbols from NXP. Not only is sufficient information provided to ensure accurate physical design, but the collaboration also ensures efficient design with component availability and pricing information. Within the Sunstone ECOsystemSM, these new functional elements provide the end user with a turn-key level of convenience and accuracy, even when working on PCB prototypes and early engineering projects.

  • DFM RULES
    By downloading and using these Sunstone specific rule sets you can have confidence that your board can be built by Sunstone without manufacturing difficulties or unnecessary delays.
    • For Altium
      Release Notes
      Requirements: N/A
      Description: This set of Altium Designer Design Rules implements the minimum requirements for Sunstone Circuits. When you begin designing your board these rules will keep your design in compliance with our manufacturing standards. You can load these rules: when you begin to set up the PCB workplace in Altium Designer; after you have transferred your design from the schematic to the PCB; and prior to positioning components on the board. You may find it necessary to create some additional rules of your own, along with our minimum standards, to achieve desired results such as a clean DRC report.
    • For EAGLE PCB Design Software
      Release Notes
      Requirements: N/A
      Description: DFM Add-Ons for EAGLE PCB design software are EAGLE Design For Manufacturing (DFM) Rules files, written in accordance with Sunstone's manufacturing criteria for 2, 4, and 6 layer designs.
  • Additional Tools
    Additional tools to make manufacturing compliance, file conversions and pcb design easier for you.
    • EAGLE CAM Jobs
      Release Notes
      Requirements: See description below, for version information
      Description: Convert to Gerber and preview your EAGLE .brd designs from your EAGLE 5.0 PCB design software prior to ordering at Sunstone. Catch simple setup problems that otherwise might cause ordering delays. With this utility, you can perform a pre-order conversion, and then verify that all layers, design data, PCB layouts, and settings are correct for your specific design. In this version, EAGLE CAM Jobs improves the handling of silk screen layers; EAGLE CAM Jobs will now prompt you for silk object selection (our default settings may be different than your requirements). Additionally, the new MLB CAM Jobs utility will prompt you for pad/via de-selection for any mid-layers named with a '$' character. We now have 2 versions to compliment the different requirements in EAGLE. There were changes in the data structure that affect EAGLE 5.0 and later. As a result, the names of the sections disappear when jobs saved in 5.0 or later are used in earlier versions of this utility. If you are using EAGLE 4.16 or earlier, you will need to download the Sunstone-EAGLE_4.16_Cam.zip.
