Hello,
Welcome to the Altium Learning Hub

Altium Develop provides a workspace where users can manage projects, component data, and design activities. Initial setup typically involves activating the workspace, connecting Altium Designer, and becoming familiar with the browser-based interface. The tutorials below walk through each of these steps in the order most new users will encounter them.01 - Activate a Workspace in an Altium Develop Account:  This storylane guides account...

Altium Agile Teams provides a shared cloud workspace where engineering teams can manage projects, component data, workspace members, and collaborative design activities. Initial setup typically involves activating the workspace, connecting Altium Designer, becoming familiar with the browser-based interface, and configuring user access. The tutorials below walk through each of these steps in the order most new teams will encounter them. 01 -...

PCB design has long been a single-author discipline. One designer owns the board file, and everyone else waits. For straightforward projects with comfortable timelines, that works. For everything else, it becomes the bottleneck.Boards are denser than they used to be. Deadlines are tighter. When a project stalls waiting for upstream file access, downstream engineers absorb the delay and the knock-on ECOs that follow. Teams have patched around this...

Several years back we had a rigid-flex come through that had gone through multiple design reviews before it ever hit the floor. Good team, thorough process, nothing obviously wrong. When the boards came back, the flex area wouldn't bend. At all. It was rigid through the entire zone that was supposed to flex. Too many layers laminated together across too short a span.The respin unbonded those layers in the flex zone so they could move...

One of the biggest challenges in high voltage PCBs is switching and driving high voltage to a load. High voltage designs come with safety concerns as well as EMC challenges related to switching behavior. Switch-mode power supplies, motor controls, and high voltage control boards all require controlled switching, and they often require direct measurements of current and voltage at the load.These functions are commonly divided among gate drivers...

Making an ASIC the traditional way is no easy task, but now designers can take control of their component designs with programmable logic. There are three options for designing ASICs: CPLDs, FPGAs, or mixed-signal processors. These three approaches allow a designer to essentially create a custom processor which can even be programmed on the fly. If none of the available off-the-shelf component options work for your system, which type of...

PCB design and assembly standards aren’t there to constrain your productivity. Instead, they’re there to help create uniform expectations of product designs and performance across multiple industries. With standardization comes the tools for compliance, such as calculators for certain design aspects, processes for auditing and inspection, and much more. In high voltage PCB design, the important generic standard for PCB design is IPC-2221. Many...

Understanding the fundamental components of electronics is crucial for every engineering student. Whether you're designing your first PCB, building a prototype, or learning circuit theory, these components form the building blocks of modern electronic systems. Whether you're starting your first project or refining your skills, knowing these components will enhance your ability to design and build effective circuits. This guide will help you...
