ChipCross User Guide

An end-to-end workflow from part search to Chinese alternative evaluation.

Start with a Part Number

Enter a full or partial part number on the search page. Results show category, description and datasheets; after signing in you can see which parts have alternatives.

  • Use the full orderable part number when possible
  • Verify manufacturer and package suffixes
  • Check lifecycle status and data confidence

Evaluate Chinese Alternatives

On the alternatives list, start with the replacement type tagged in our data (direct replacement, manufacturer recommended, parametric equivalent, similar part), then open "AI evaluation" to have the AI check pinout, parameters and package against both datasheets. Evaluate every difference against your actual application conditions.

Process a BOM in Bulk

The BOM page accepts XLSX, XLS and CSV.
