Power Integrity Analysis for KiCad.

PDN Analyzer by Elecmore visualizes voltage drop, current density, power loss and return-path behavior directly on your PCB.

Download for Windows Watch the Demo

Tested on Windows 11 & Windows 10 x64 with KiCad 10.0.6 x64

CURRENT FLOW

Follow DC current through traces, vias and planes from source to load.

VOLTAGE DROP

See rail voltage fall across real copper resistance, point by point.

CURRENT DENSITY

LOWMEDHIGH

Spot neck-downs and via clusters where current concentrates.

Product tour

See PDN Analyzer in action.

Analyze your KiCad PCB and visualize DC power distribution directly across the board.

Capabilities

DC power integrity, on your actual board.

Steady-state DC PDN analysis for PCB engineering: mesh the real copper, solve, and read the results where they happen.

VOLTAGE ANALYSIS

View rail voltage across real PCB copper geometry.

VOLTAGE DROP

Identify where resistance is causing excessive rail loss.

CURRENT DENSITY

See how current concentrates through traces, neck-downs, vias and planes.

POWER LOSS

Locate areas where resistive losses are highest.

RETURN PATH ANALYSIS

Analyze finite ground/return behavior rather than assuming an ideal ground plane.

PCB VISUALIZATION

Overlay engineering results directly on board geometry.

PROBE & LOCATE PEAK

Inspect values at individual board locations and quickly locate worst-case areas.

REPORTS & EXPORTS

Export useful engineering results — reports, CSV and PNG — for review and documentation.

Screenshots

How it works

Three steps to a result.

Open your PCB in KiCad

Open the board in the KiCad 10 PCB Editor as usual.

Launch the plugin

Tools → External Plugins → PDN Analyzer by Elecmore.

Analyze and inspect

Define sources and loads, run the analysis and inspect the results on the board.
