Find alternative parts in seconds
Quickly identify compatible replacement components based on electrical specifications, package, availability, and manufacturer preferences.
Research Table
Extract specs across every part at once
Give Research Table a list of parts and the data points you need. It reads the datasheets and fills in a table, so you can pull the same specs across your entire list in a single pass.

Build it into your own tools
Connect Zenode directly to your applications, AI agents, and engineering workflows with our REST API and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
Analysis Toolkit
Deliverables, not just answers
Put in your parts and program inputs, and Zenode's Agent builds the parts-engineering deliverable — every value cited to its source.
NASA-STD-8739.10 §8.2.6
Worst Case Analysis
Every parameter bounded over temperature, radiation and mission life. One row per parameter with the worst-case band, the terms behind it, and the datasheet table each came from — terms that cannot be closed stay MISSING.

Find Alternates
Drop-in and functional replacements for one prime part, compared datasheet to datasheet: specs, pinout, package, price, stock and lifecycle, each signal cited. Scope it to an approved parts list or require pin-for-pin.
