You can also access “T-3001” without TARGET here.
Starting with V34, you can use AI to generate components directly from PDF datasheets. All you need to do is download a suitable datasheet and make it available to TARGET. The datasheet is sent to an external AI for analysis. TARGET then generates a component symbol from the datasheet and suggests a (hopefully) available package for it.
In the schematic menu under “Components / Special Functions,” click on “Convert PDF Datasheet to Component (External AI).” After a brief explanation, select the PDF file (usually in the Windows “Downloads” folder) and make it available to TARGET. You should not upload confidential PDFs or PDFs with private content here.
Especially if the component information in the PDF is stored as images rather than text, the analysis can take a very long time (OCR, AI Thinking Model). If you don’t want to wait that long, you can cancel the process and, for example, start again after fifteen minutes with the same PDF file. The AI has remembered the generated response for this PDF and returns the result immediately.
