Altium Designer Part Generator

Building an Altium library component by hand means transcribing pin tables and measuring land patterns from the datasheet. PartSpark does that with AI: give it a part number or the PDF and download an Altium-ready bundle with a matched schematic symbol and PCB footprint.

  • One-click Altium export bundle per generated part
  • Footprints from the manufacturer land pattern, or IPC-7351B conventions when there isn’t one
  • Full pin map and package data shown for datasheet cross-checking
  • Refine in plain English when a pin or pad needs adjusting

Part number, datasheet URL, or PDF in — an Altium bundle out, with the pin map on screen so you can verify before you import.

How to use it

Three steps, start to library.

  1. [01]

    Generate

    Type the manufacturer part number, or attach the datasheet PDF (or a photo of the pinout and package pages) for unusual parts. A generation takes about a minute.

  2. [02]

    Check

    Compare the pin map and pad table with the datasheet before importing.

  3. [03]

    Import into Altium

    Open the .SchDoc and run Design » Make Schematic Library, then open the .PcbDoc and run Design » Make PCB Library, and link the footprint to the symbol. The README in the bundle has the steps, plus a KiCad import route if your Altium version rejects the .PcbDoc.

Doing it by hand, or want to know what to check? Step-by-step guides: how to create a kicad symbol from a datasheet; how to turn a package drawing into a kicad footprint; how to check a generated symbol and footprint before fabrication.

Limits to know

What it won’t do for you.

  • The download is an import bundle, not a ready .SchLib/.PcbLib. Altium builds the libraries from it in two commands.
  • When the datasheet has no recommended land pattern, the footprint falls back to IPC-7351B conventions or KiCad’s standard footprint for the package, and the generator’s notes say so.
  • Slotted (oval) drill holes and non-plated mounting holes aren’t supported yet. Connectors that need them, such as many USB-C receptacles, need those holes added by hand.
  • Free accounts get the symbol and footprint. 3D STEP/WRL models are on paid plans.

The guide to checking a generated symbol and footprint before fabrication shows real cases where these limits mattered.

Example output

Real parts, checked against the datasheet.

These were generated from the part number alone, then every pin and pad was checked against the manufacturer datasheet. Download the files and open them in KiCad yourself.

FAQ

Common questions

What does the Altium download contain?
The bundle contains .SchDoc and .PcbDoc files plus instructions for creating schematic and PCB libraries in Altium. A KiCad footprint is included as a backup import route. Review the pin and package data against the datasheet before use.
Can I fix a mistake without regenerating from scratch?
Yes. The refine box revises the same part — describe the correction (“pin 7 should be VCC”, “pitch is 0.65 mm”) and the AI updates the symbol and footprint together.
