Slashing the Spreadsheet: Moving the BOM to the Cloud As today’s technology becomes more and more complex, the demand for devices that require electrical design is only going to increase, and the ability to deliver a quality product in a short amount of time is critical. Engineers are continually trying to find ways to shorten product development cycles and design components more efficiently. Plenty of opportunities to be more productive, both mechanical and electrical engineering, exist. One Read Article Weekly Digest: Altium EDA tools at Embedded World Embedded World Conference 2019 was on everyone’s mind this week. With so many future-oriented technologies and solutions, the conference brought out the best new ideas. As a part of the community, we were eager to share our technology with embedded system developers and product managers looking for fresh perspective and future-friendly EDA tools. Watch our Embedded World highlights video to get a quick recap of the event and take a look at some Read Article OnTrack Newsletter: Tech Predictions, Launching Rockets, and Snapping in a ECAD tool - February 2019 OnTRack Newsletter February 2019 VOL. 2 No 10 FIVE TECH PREDICTIONS FOR THE NEXT DECADE Duane Benson Predicts What’s to Come in the Next Ten Years This month in the OnTrack Newsletter, we bring you a special guest article from EMS Subject Matter Expert, Duane Benson of Screaming Circuits, in which he shares five technology predictions for the next decade. Benson covers his personal thoughts on what may come in artificial intelligence, highways Read Article 5:35 5 Reasons to Upgrade to Altium Designer 19 Watch Video 1:28 How to add existing designs to a multi-board project Watch Video 42 How to create a new multi-board project Every new product starts with project creation and multi-board designs are no different. Multi-board projects provide a space to organize individual board design files to keep track of everything your product needs. Learn how to keep your multi-board designs organized so you can focus on define board interconnections and assembly form and fit. Watch Video 56 How to Create an Object in SmartMates You don't have to struggle with enclosure form and fit when you can position boards in real time. Learn how to get the perfect fit and position of boards, connectors, and enclosures. Object smart mates ensure that individual designs can operate as a single functional object inside your entire assembly. Watch Video Semi-Additive Process Technology at Averatek In this podcast episode learn about Averatek and their semi-additive process technology for circuit board manufacture and how very precise and very small circuits can benefit your design. Watch here. Read Article Running on Any Device: Does It Matter? Does your device matter? That might seem like a strange question for a design post. However, it is increasingly becoming an important one. We’re in the midst of some pretty significant changes both technologically and culturally in engineering but also the workplace in general. So dig into this post. You might find it more relevant than you initially thought. This post looks at how engineering work is changing and the implications of ECAD running Read Article Interplane Capacitance and PCB Stackups This article is intended to provide guidance on the process of designing PCB stackups. It is useful to look at the evolution of technology as time has passed in order to see how the demands on the PCB stackup have changed. In the early days of PCB fabrication, logic circuits were so slow that the only concerns were how to make connections between logic or discrete parts and provide a path for the DC power to each part. All a needed to do was Read Article Weekly Digest: Articles, Podcast and Videos from Altium We’ve collected everything published this week to bring our readers resources to read, watch and listen to all in one place. On the Podcast we introduced a new format so we can invite engineer Ben Jordan on the show more often to take questions from the audience. We also have new articles on the blog and several new videos all about Altium 365.

Read Article Channel Operating Margin Isn’t So Bad What is a COM anyway? Channel Operating Margin, or COM, isn’t well understood. Since it isn’t well understood, many people doubt it really means anything. After all, how can channel quality be represented by just one number in decibels? It turns out, COM is actually the latest evolutionary step in a long progression of channel validation techniques using eye patterns. This blog will trace the evolution of COM back to its roots and put meaning to Read Article End-to-End Tracking of Your PCB Design Have you ever run a board re-spin only to discover you’re not even sure what the changes were? I’m not talking about comparing GERBERs from Rev A to Rev B, rather I am referring to understanding the requirements that drove the changes, the reason behind the changes, and all the dialog that was happening around the changes.
