Hello, Welcome to the Altium Learning Hub

Due to the miniaturization of electronic components and improvements in manufacturing and assembly processes, design trends are increasingly moving toward smaller, high-performance devices. For example, smartwatches and smart glasses now integrate powerful processors, displays, cameras, microphones, speakers, Bluetooth, Wi Fi, and built in antennas, among other features. This evolution challenges designers to continually reduce the space...

If you're an engineer or a sourcing professional, you’ve likely felt this pressure before: pick the right part, get it on time, stay under budget, make sure it works. The balance of cost, quality, and availability has always been a key consideration when selecting electronic components. However, in today's landscape, this balance has become arguably more challenging than ever to achieve, with the potential consequences of misjudgment more severe...

In an era when electronics are becoming more compact, powerful, and interconnected, complexity isn't just growing. It's compounding. Designers today aren’t just building single PCBs. They’re orchestrating full-blown electronic ecosystems where multiple boards must work in perfect harmony. Multi-board design is the new normal, whether it's a high-speed compute module connected to a power conversion board or a sensing PCB feeding into a...

The European Union's Medical Device Regulation (MDR), formally known as Regulation (EU) 2017/745, represents a significant shift in how medical devices are designed, developed, and brought to market. Implemented to enhance patient safety and improve product efficacy, the MDR enforces stricter oversight throughout the product lifecycle, from initial concept to post-market surveillance. For professionals in the medical electronics industry...

If you’ve been working with HDI (High-Density Interconnect) technology, you’ve probably noticed that the industry is pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Traditional HDI designs have relied on laser-drilled microvias around 4 mils in size, with capture pad diameters typically 8–10 mils larger. But technology never stands still, and now Ultra HDI is taking things to a whole new level, redefining via structure and density in ways that were...

PCB designers are constantly facing the challenge of packing more functionality into smaller spaces while ensuring high performance. What was once used only for IC substrate and package fabrication, today Ultra HDI (Ultra High-Density Interconnect) technology is being brought to the PCB level to allow very high density routing capabilities. But what exactly makes Ultra HDI so powerful, and how does it elevate routing efficiency? More...
