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 -...

In the world of PCB design, innovation is a necessity. As electronic systems become more compact and power-efficient, engineers face constant challenges in optimizing Space, Weight, and Power (SWaP). That’s where Ultra HDI (UHDI) technology steps in, offering a solution that redefines the limits of PCB design and fabrication.Key TakeawaysUltra HDI maximizes space efficiency through denser routing. By enabling finer line dimensions and advanced...

The cracks followed the traces almost perfectly. Not random, not scattered, and under magnification, they ran along the copper geometry like the circuit had mapped its own failure. Fatigue cracks, initiating at trace edges, propagating through the bend zone cycle by cycle until the circuit stopped working somewhere in the field.A wearable device, six weeks into production returns, and the pattern was telling anyone who knew how to read it exactly...

New product introduction, or NPI, is often delayed by small handoffs that build up over time. A BOM export that has to be renamed, a part number keyed into PLM by hand, a drawing sent by email, a revision confirmed twice before manufacturing will move. Each step is trivial. Together they add up to weeks.What makes this hard to see is that none of it looks like delay. Teams are busy and files are moving. Engineers are answering questions.But a lot...

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 most common add-in card in standard desktop computers and embedded computers is the PCIe card. PCIe add-in cards come in multiple form factors and use an edge slot connector, mounting either vertically or at a right angle along a motherboard. You also have different types of PCIe devices, such as SSDs or modules that plug into an M.2 connector. In this article, I'll cover the mechanical and electrical requirements for PCIe add-in cards that...
