SiliconExpert Integration

The SiliconExpert Integration needs to be bought separately and is not included in any existing subscription. The price is determined by the number of annual part queries. If you want to know more about the prices, please fill out the form on top of our SiliconExpert webpage.

When you use SiliconExpert to obtain data for a specific component, it is considered one "part query". Should you need to access the same component's data again within the same annual billing period, it will not count as an additional query — each unique part is queried just once per year for billing purposes.

During the annual cycle, you'll have continuous access to the data for the parts you've queried, including any updates provided by SiliconExpert. Once the billing cycle ends, access to the previously retrieved data will be suspended. To view the most current data after this point, a new query for the part will be necessary, which will then be counted in the new billing cycle.

For Altium 365 GovCloud (US only), the SiliconExpert Integration is already available. 
For the Altium 365 Enterprise On-Prem solution we are currently working on implementing it, however, we can't provide a release date yet.

We are currently investigating which parameters and features to integrate next. Currently, our focus includes part change notifications (PCNs) and a proactive alert. If you have more suggestions, please share them with us in this Hotjar Survey.

For Altium Designer:
You need to have at least Altium Designer 23.11 and need to be connected with your Altium 365 Workspace.
We still recommend the latest Altium Designer version to get access to all the latest features.

Your library needs to have Part Choices added - or at least Supplier Links, if you are still using a local library.

For Altium 365 BOM Portal (link): 
You need to have a column with the Manufacturer Part Number in your BOM Files.
