BOM (Bill of Materials) View

 

Overview

The BOM View in the CELUS Design Platform provides a centralized interface for reviewing, analyzing, and modifying all components within a resolved project. Beyond component listing, the BOM View enables lifecycle validation, pricing evaluation, compliance tracking, and direct access to alternative components through an integrated CELUS database.

This documentation covers the BOM View structure, key functionalities, and step-by-step guidance for selecting component alternatives.

 

Generate BOM

Upon resolving a project in CELUS Design Studio, users can access the BOM View tab. This interface enables users to inspect each component’s source, usage context, and technical attributes.

The interface displays indicators highlighting:

• Number of manually selected/locked CUBOs.

• Number of automatically assigned CUBOs.

 

BOM View indicator

 

Clicking Generate BOM navigates to the BOM Table. Here, components are presented in a sortable, filterable grid with comprehensive attributes sourced from the CELUS Library and Accuris integration.

 

BOM View: Shows detailed component data, including manufacturer, part number, availability, pricing, and compliance information

 

BOM Table

• Manufacturer: Original component manufacturer.

• MPN (Manufacturer Part Number): Unique part identifier; hyperlinked to detailed component view.

• Package: Standard footprint type (e.g., SOT-23, QFN).

• Value: Electrical value (resistance, capacitance, etc.), if applicable.

• Quantity: Number of components used in the project

• Functional Block(s): Identifies the design-level grouping in which the component is used. Each entry includes a hyperlink to the associated CUBO™ in the CUBO Results page, enabling direct traceability between component and CUBOs within the resolved project.

• Lifecycle: Indicates the component's current market status. A value of Active confirms ongoing production and availability. Unknown denotes that the lifecycle status is not reported by the data provider, and current production status cannot be verified.

• Est. Unit Price / Est. Stock / Leadtime: Supply chain insights from Accuris.

• Description: General description extracted from supplier metadata.

By clicking an MPN hyperlink in the BOM Table, users are redirected to the Component Page. This page centralizes technical, commercial, and logistical data.

Component Page

• Electrical parameters: Voltage, current, tolerance, and more.

• Datasheet link: Direct PDF link from the supplier.

• Supply Chain Insights: Current availability, pricing, and distributor information.

• Alternatives Tab: A list of  Form, Fit, and Function (FFF) alternatives within the CELUS database.

  
  
  

Component View: Component specifications and alternatives

 

Selecting Component Alternatives

To replace a component:

1. Navigate to the Component View via the MPN hyperlink in the BOM Table.

2. Open the Alternatives tab.

3. Review suggested compatible alternatives (Form, Fit, and Function).

4. Select a replacement part.

5. Confirm the selection to update the component in the project’s BOM.

Celus Platform Integrated Value

Using the CELUS Design Platform, this BOM management flow is deeply integrated with:

• CUBOs as reusable, validated circuit modules.

• Automated matching of component alternatives using structured functional and interface data.

• Real-time validation to ensure the new component adheres to electrical, mechanical, and lifecycle requirements.

This functionality supports robust design reuse, mitigates sourcing risk, and accelerates design finalization without disrupting schematic or layout workflows.
