I copied the circuit description into Cursor and used Claude Sonnet 4.0 with the following prompt. 

Create a typecad circuit according to the following description. Use @typecad.json @website.json for reference. 

[circuit summary from last post]

I'll create a new TypeCAD circuit file for the 1Hz pulse generator based on your description. Let me first examine the existing files to understand the structure and then create the new circuit.

Read typecad.json and website.json

Now I'll create the new 1Hz pulse generator circuit file based on the description provided. I'll create a comprehensive circuit that implements the exact specifications:

one_hz_pulse_generator.ts+219•9

Now I need to fix the Testpoint components by removing the unsupported description property:

one_hz_pulse_generator.ts+7-7

[working...]

Perfect! I've successfully created a new TypeCAD circuit file one_hz_pulse_generator.ts that implements the complete 1Hz pulse generator according to your specifications. Here's what the circuit includes:

Key Features Implemented:

Components:

• TCXO (U1): SIT8008BI-82-30E-4.194304 (±25ppm, 3V supply)

• 74HC4060 (U2): 14-stage binary counter (DIP-16) - divides by 16,384

• 74HC4040 (U3): 12-stage binary counter (DIP-16) - divides by 256

• 74HC244 (U4): Octal buffer/driver (DIP-20) - buffers 1Hz output

• Connectors: Power input (4-pin) and 1Hz output (2-pin)

• Testpoints: 7 testpoints for debugging and verification

• Passives: Decoupling capacitors and reset resistor

Power Supply:

• Dual power rails: 3V for TCXO, 5V for logic ICs

• Proper decoupling: 0.1µF ceramic capacitors near each IC

• Bulk filtering: 10µF electrolytic capacitors for each rail

Frequency Division Chain: text Apply to one_hz.ts 4.194304 MHz → ÷16,384 → 256 Hz → ÷256 → 1 Hz

Connections:

• TCXO: Enable pin to +3V, output to 74HC4060 clock

• 74HC4060: Reset pins tied through 10kΩ resistor to GND

• 74HC4040: Reset pin to GND, clock from 74HC4060 Q14

• 74HC244: Enable pins configured, buffers 1Hz output

• Unused inputs: Properly tied to ground to prevent floating

Testpoints:

• TP1: TCXO Output (4.194304 MHz)

• TP2: 74HC4060 Q14 (256 Hz)

• TP3: 74HC4040 Q8 (1 Hz unbuffered)

• TP4: 74HC244 Output (1 Hz buffered)

• TP5: +5V Power Rail

• TP6: +3V Power Rail

• TP7: Ground Reference

The circuit follows all the critical wiring notes from your specification, including proper decoupling, reset strategy, unused input handling, and signal integrity considerations. The file is ready to be built and will generate a complete KiCAD netlist for the 1Hz pulse generator.

Claude guessed at the footprint for the TCXO. After that was fixed, the file built with no issues. I opened the generated kicad_pcb file, and the parts were there, ready to be placed and routed. I decided I didn't want all the test points; I didn't like the connectors it chose, but other than that, it appears to be correctly created. AI did the entire schematic portion of this project. 

The typecad.json and website.json files referenced in the prompt are JSONified documentation to teach the LLM how to use typeCAD. They are attached to this project in the Files section. 

Code Additions

I added additional code to create a schematic. I also added PCB layout information for the components. The vast majority of the code remained unchanged, and the additions were for extra features, not strictly required for a working PCB design.
