Quilter Ships Automated BGA Fanout and 2026 Platform Enhancements
Quilter has launched automated BGA fanout, a feature that eliminates the need for manual setup in ECAD tools for dense circuit board layouts. This release is part of a series of 2026 updates designed to improve the platform's ability to handle larger and more complex boards by incorporating design intent directly from source files. Additional updates include project-based design grouping, calculated impedance profiles using the Simberian Simbeor solver, enhanced ground net comprehension, and new custom component proximity constraints.

Quilter Releases Platform Updates Including Flexible Impedance and Cadence Schematic Support
Quilter has shipped several updates to its PCB design platform. Users can now input specific target impedance values for differential pairs rather than relying on predefined dropdown options, and can set independent values for single-ended and differential impedance. A new Floorplan page has been introduced to improve visibility into placement behavior. The platform now supports parsing Cadence schematic files (XML, QLT, DSN, and BRD) to improve capacitor assignment and placement. Additionally, unrouted nets are now surfaced in the 'Design Review' sidebar, allowing users to identify incomplete routing without manually inspecting airwires.
