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 -...

Flexible circuits offer remarkable versatility, allowing engineers to create designs that can bend, fold, and conform to various shapes, solving many space and packaging challenges. However, their flexibility can introduce structural weaknesses or wear-and-tear concerns in certain areas. To overcome these issues, stiffeners are often used as a targeted solution.Stiffeners, typically made from FR4 or polyimide, provide localized support where...

Length matching is only one part of a successful DDR interface. Controlled impedance, discontinuities, loss, and other layout effects can influence signal behavior. The correct electrical design target, including controlled impedance, is not always obvious from the standard or routing rules alone. In this practical session, we will work through a DDR4/DDR5 design and show how to approach SI verification directly within the PCB design workflow. Ra...

Getting started with PCB design is an exciting step in electronics engineering. But for beginners, navigating professional design software can feel overwhelming.Unfamiliar panels, project settings, and design tools can make even simple tasks challenging. Without a clear understanding of the fundamentals, moving from a schematic to PCB layout becomes more difficult than it needs to be.Altium Designer brings the essential tools for schematic...

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...

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...

The copper plating process that produces vias is very well understood by fabricators and the traditional subtractive etch process for standard technology and High Density Interconnect (HDI) has decades of experience behind the design rules for aspect ratio and design best practices and those rules are well understood by the PCB design community.On the surface, the copper plating process for Ultra HDI technology shouldn’t be that complicated...
