# tscircuit

## Kurzbeschreibung
**“The #1 framework for AI-generated electronics.”**


tscircuit is an open-source, code-based EDA framework that allows you to describe schematics and PCBs in React and TypeScript. From the code, the system generates schematic, PCB, 3D, and manufacturing views, among other things. AI assistants can interpret requirements, search for components, and generate the necessary tscircuit code.

## Claim
The #1 framework for AI-generated music

## Geeignet für
- Education
- Electronics / Electrical Engineering

## Kernfunktionen
- Automatic Routing
- BOM
- Circuit JSON
- CLI
- FDFA
- Gerber
- Git
- AI Agents
- KiCad
- printed circuit board
- PCB Design
- Circuit diagram
- SPICE
- TypeScript

## Preismodell
- **free:** The core is open-source under the MIT license and can be used locally via the CLI or as a TypeScript/React framework. This enables full-fledged circuit design, PCB layout, simulation, and export workflows.
- **other:** **PCB Hosting and Ordering Service **Hosting and ordering of printed circuit boards, circuit modules, schematics, 3D models, and other electronics assets.



**Private Registry** Use of a custom npm-compatible registry for internal components, files, and team collaboration.


**External AI Providers** AI requests can be processed via OpenAI and Anthropic; potential costs and quotas depend on the specific integration.

## DSGVO und Datenschutz
**Gesamteinschätzung:** Conditional

**Overall assessment:**
****
A flexible open-source model featuring local operation, an online editor, a component registry, and external AI integration. tsCircuit can be installed locally and used as an open-source toolchain. Additionally, an online editor, a component registry, hosting and ordering functions, as well as AI-assisted electronics development are available. The project is MIT-licensed; designs are created as React/TypeScript code and can be managed in version control systems.

Data Processing: During online operation, account, contact, device, IP, payment, and project data may be processed. For payments, tsCircuit lists Stripe and Lemon Squeezy. For AI functions, prompts, outputs, and associated personal data may be transmitted to OpenAI or Anthropic. An explicit non-training commitment from the involved AI providers for all tsCircuit uses is not publicly documented: No verified information available.

Local and private operation: The open-source toolchain can be run locally. Additionally, tsCircuit supports npm-compatible private registries, allowing internal components and files to be managed outside the public registry. Full on-premise hosting of the official web platform or a documented enterprise air-gap mode is not documented.


**Conclusion:**
****
The most privacy-friendly use is local deployment with a private repository and without an external AI chat. Public online operation is simpler but involves US hosting and external AI data flows.


[PRIVACY POLICY](https://registry.tscircuit.com/legal/privacy-policy.html)

**Overall assessment:**

****
On the **positive** side, tsCircuit has published a detailed privacy policy that outlines the legal basis for EU users, data subject rights, account deletion, and technical and organizational security measures. Personal data is generally only stored for as long as an active account exists or as required by legal obligations. Users can request access, correction, or deletion via a dedicated privacy form.



On the **negative** side, tsCircuit Inc. is headquartered in San Francisco, and according to the Terms of Service, the services are hosted in the U.S. When using the AI features, inputs, outputs, and, where applicable, personal data are shared with external AI service providers. The privacy policy explicitly names OpenAI and Anthropic as AI service providers. Additionally, cloud, storage, analytics, authentication, and payment service providers may be used.



**Server location: **USA for the hosted services. A publicly available DPA for European business customers, EU data residency, standard contractual clauses, or a complete list of subprocessors by name were not found: No reliable information available.



**Conclusion:** tsCircuit is well-suited for public open-source projects and non-confidential electronic designs. For proprietary circuits or personal data, it is preferable to work locally, use a private package registry, and review the external AI integration separately. Confidential project details should not be transmitted to the integrated AI chat without prior review.
