- Board profile: enter copper weight, thickness, dielectric, ambient and junction limit once, in Your work, and every calculator that asks for them fills them in.
- Recent, at the top of the calculator list: your last computations, each a link that reproduces it.
- Your work shows how much of your plan is used, filters by tag, and offers undo when you delete.
8 Sept 2026
Calculation engine updated to 1.8.1. Saved work is recomputed, and any change is flagged when you open it.
- Show working under the answer on the ten most-used calculators: the equation with your numbers in it.
- The headline answer stays in view until the result scrolls into view, at every width.
- An empty number field shows the shorthand it accepts, such as 4k7, 100n and 3V3.
- 3V3 reads as 3.3 V, just as 4k7 reads as 4.7 kΩ.
- A comma reads as a decimal point: 2,5 is 2.5 and 4,7k is 4.7 kΩ. Grouped thousands still work, as in 1,000.5, and an ambiguous value is flagged rather than guessed.
- Areas and volumes print in a clear unit, such as 25500 µm² or 0.5 mm³.
- Every calculator marks one headline answer, with the values that drive the next decision beside it.

- Fabrication tolerances on w, h and ε_r give worst-case minimum and maximum impedance.
- The cross-section has its own panel, and delay is behind a toggle.
