Hello, Welcome to the Altium Learning Hub

AI, smart devices, proliferation of high compute to the edge, and ubiquitous integration of just about every electronic devices have put us solidly in what some call the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The history of the past two decades of technological development is one where the barriers to entry into market have never been lower, including for innovators who have never built a piece of hardware. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that we...

Better thermal efficiency, how to do better power efficiency, how to reduce losses, how to help people handle those thermal losses? This episode is a real treat. Our guest Steven Schnier, Systems Engineer for Power Management at Texas Instruments generously shares the different strategies for designing better thermal and power efficient PCB. Watch through the end, this episode is sure have great tips and strategies that you don’t want to miss....

Join us to learn how to implement process workflows that automate traditionally manual processes such as library and design data management. We'll demonstrate how to unlock the potential of project templates and equip you to standardize your company's processes and workflows to meet your digital transformation goals.

Whether you're designing a digital board with a ton of traces, or an RF board operating at very high frequencies, any electronic device with propagating signals will experience crosstalk. It's simply a matter of whether that crosstalk is so extreme that the system fails to function, or whether crosstalk is within some acceptable limit. There is no universal level of "acceptable" crosstalk levels, but if you do find through simulation and...

This video shows the cable Harness Design Features integrated in Altium Designer and its advantages over conventional cable design in third-party tools. The features are presented step-by-step in a Multiboard project from a top-to-down approach. The project files being used in the demo are included in your set of Altium Designer’s example projects in the C:\Users\Public\Documents\Altium\AD<version>\Examples\Harness Demo MB\Harness_Demo_Prj...

You’ve gone through your prototyping rounds, you’ve performed multiple rounds of functional testing in the field, and your product has passed EMC compliance testing. The next step is to take your prototype and to put it into production, eventually scaling into high volume. What should startups do when they are ready to make this very important step, and how can risk be reduced during this transition? We always like to say “work with your...

What is the number one thing that can be done to ensure first pass success on your flex or rigid flex design? If the first word that comes to mind is COMMUNICATION I couldn’t agree more. Although the “basics” of flexible circuit design are not all that different than a rigid printed circuit board, the devil is in the details as they say. There are a number of subtle differences that will help ensure your design performs as needed: Routing traces...

Lukas Henkel, our guest in this episode was already into electronic engineering at age 10. He will share with us what made him interested in designing electronics, some details about the development of his Open-source laptop project, and will even give us a sneak peek of the actual design development on Altium Designer. You don’t want to miss this! Watch through the end and be sure to check the additional resources below. Listen to the Episode...
