Routers in PCB Boards: Working with Altium Designer’s Multilayered Via Routing Rules Some of the first ideas and drawings of two-layered PCB design came at the turn of the century, right before the world would descend into its first world war. It should come as a surprise that an idea and an adaptation to circuit boards, two-layers, developed over one-hundred years ago is still alive and well. But it should come as no surprise that with time comes new adaptations, and the era of multilayered stackups is much more appropriate for Read Article Multiboard vs. Multilayer PCB Design Systems In the past, PCB designers were limited with system designs spanning more than one board. However, recent developments in mechanical CAD systems have given designers the ability to now design multiple boards for a system with relative ease. Thanks to 3D PCB design tool technology, designers are able to save both time and money previously spent on prototypes by confirming that their designs are system-ready Click the PDF above to read more about Read Article 1:55 Routing Modes . Watch Video Manufacturing Checklists and Tools When it comes to manufacturing, organization is critical. With so many different players involved in the design process (engineers, sourcing agents, manufacturers, etc.), maintaining documentation and utilizing checklists and other tools will keep everyone on the same page and avoid confusion. Additionally, checklists can help ensure that the PCB design is fully complete and ready to send for manufacturing, protecting you from any unexpected Read Article 1:55 Schematic Design Rules Watch Video 1:58 IPC Compliant Footprint Wizard Watch Video 1:10 Voltage Contour And Current Direction Indication Watch Video 1:13 Simultaneous Multi-Network Simulation Watch Video 1:03 HTML Simulation Results Reporting Watch Video 1:12 Violation And Hot-Spot Flagging Watch Video Using the New Select Filter When Selecting Objects in Altium Designer Whether you are making changes or deletions one thing is for certain, you are going to be selecting a lot of design objects in your design as you work on it. Altium Designer has introduced the select filter that will make the task of selecting objects much easier than before. This enables you to configure your design session so that you can select specific object types to work on. When you have an area in your schematic or PCB layout that is very Read Article PCB Design Career and Team Tips Presentation Become an expert PCB Designer when you use Altium Designer software.

Read Article Keep Your Altium Designer PCB Layout in Line with Grids and Grid-Selection Shortcuts The grid system in a printed circuit board design CAD program is a great tool for a PCB designer, and it's a system worth knowing. Altium Designer® has a well designed grid system that you can use to your advantage in your PCB designs and schematic captures. Before all the different snap and placement utilities that are now available in CAD systems, we used to have to constantly manipulate the grid to place objects at different locations.

Learn how to make PCB Gerber files in Altium Designer from your circuit board layout. Altium's CAM tools can help you quickly create PCB Gerber files. Read Article GPS Antennas in Your PCB Design: You Won’t Get Lost Again Going on hunting trips with my grandpa as a kid, we would carry a rather large GPS-navigator to help us keep from getting lost in the woods. It had a huge antenna sticking out the top and its battery never lasted longer than a few hours. Fast forward 20 years, and including GPS capabilities in your PCB design has become easier than ever. Many new consumer devices include GPS PCB antenna modules in their design. If you don’t have GPS or RF-design Read Article Dual-Band PCB Antenna Design: Keeping Your EMI In-Line If you were born in the 1980’s or earlier, you probably remember those old brick-like cell phones and their giant antennas. Fast forward to the present, and most people don’t even realize that their smartphones have antennas. Proposed antenna designs have come a long way since the 80’s, and new antennas can send and receive in more than one frequency band. As the mobile and IoT industry continues to advance, electronic devices continue to use Read Article Pagination First page « First Previous page ‹‹ Page150 Current page151 Page152 Page153 Page154 Page155 Next page ›› Last page Last » Load More
