Hello, Welcome to the Altium Learning Hub

The master drawing is the most critical part of your design documentation and will convey all of the fine details needed to manufacture your board. While these documentation requirements will change based on the design specifications of your PCB, the overall goal is still to clarify your design intent and avoid any manufacturing delays. If you would like to skip to different chapters in this series, use the Table of Contents links below: Setti...

Before you can send your design off to manufacturing, you will need to ensure that it is properly documented to clearly communicate your design intent. While electronic files such as Gerber and ODB++ provide enough basic information to make your board, they don’t include all of the fine details from your head about how you intend to have your board produced. The documentation stage is your chance to precisely describe your board layout and avoid...

It’s a privilege to be sitting down with Didrik Bech, CEO of Elmatica, the world’s oldest PCB broker company and now part of the NCAB group and CAB group. Together we will dive into exciting topics surrounding cybersecurity, compliance, and supply chain and his upcoming presentation at IPC Apex. Didrik has some interesting insights on supply chain Cybersecurity management in the PCB design and manufacturing industry. Make sure to watch through...

Capacitors form an important part of most electronics circuits. But what do they actually do, and what causes them to function as such? They are passive devices that store electrical potential energy as a voltage between two charged conductors that are separated by an insulating dielectric. The insulating dielectric material restricts DC current and allows AC current to induce a displacement current across the two plates as mediated by...

Altium Designer allows you to start designing right away and although the default settings are good enough for many to get the job done, it is beneficial to take a deeper dive into the project options and start to customize your design space. A customized design space means it’s tailor made for how you design, allowing you to get your work done in a manner you fully understand. Join us this week where we’ll cover how you can customize project...

Most designers don’t realize they need to worry about power integrity until they have a power integrity problem. Other designers might build boards that can’t handle the demands of modern digital and high frequency components, and they may not realize the problems that lurk in their power delivery network (PDN). Although the basic concepts involved in designing for power integrity are well-known, myths about power integrity abound, and designers...
