Hello, Welcome to the Altium Learning Hub

Carl Schattke and Julie Ellis present how designing with manufacturing make the entire team from concept to fabrication a winning one, live from the IPC APEX Expo in San Diego. Keynote Highlights: Interplay between the sides of design and manufacturing Insight into different teams involved in parts of the design process Overview of different leadership roles within teams  Importance of panel drawings and when they are necessary Laser...

Join Gerald Weis and Ube Sorgman on a tour of the AT&S PCB Manufacturing facility. They will walk you through everything from Designing for Manufacturing and Design for Excellence to every step in the manufacturing process, all within their beautiful facility in Austria.  Keynote Highlights: Answers to complex AT&S PCB manufacturing questions Insight into drilling How AT&S PCBs distinguish between DFM and DFX Discussion of discuss tenting...

A growing number of developers are familiar with the Modular Upverter tool and how it is revolutionizing the way embedded systems are built.  Modular Upverter's abolishment of the traditional ways of designing and prototyping smart devices has allowed many designers with no electrical engineering background, to make complex and sophisticated systems.  Lesser known are the advantages offered by Modular Upverter that even seasoned hardware...

When creating libraries, standards are crucial for reliable design and manufacturing. Yet even with rigorous standards in place, mistakes inevitably creep into such a detail-oriented process. In this talk, we’ll explore the top mistakes engineers make when creating PCB footprints. Delving far beyond the basics, we’ll look at some of the more gnarly errors - and how you can avoid them in your next design. Additional Resources: Connect with...

Designing a new ecosystem of small, high-power motor control boards which simplify and accelerate the development and deployment of feedback controllers for complex mechatronic systems. Keynote Highlights: Introduction to Berets:  small extensible carrier boards designed to rapidly accelerate the development of low-cost capable robotic systems Platform portability of Berets What the Beret system offers Insight into how Berets...

Circuit Board Fabricators and Electronics Manufacturing Service Providers often see common design errors decade after decade. They range in topics from documentation discrepancies, which hold up production starts, to NO BIDs due to physically unmanufacturable designs, to test issues. An archive of frequently-encountered mishaps will be presented with discussions on why some of them occur, as well as corrective options moving forward. Keynote...

In this session, attendees will get a guided tour of the exciting improvements provided in Altium Designer 22. This includes improved simulation results measurement, automatic updating of designators contained in design rules, IPC-4761 via support along with improvements in Draftsman, schematic cross-referencing, trace-glossing, and more. Keynote Highlights: Using simulation to verify answers Benefits of using the new measurements tool in...

The important "Aha Moments" from the life of hardware design engineers. The moments when you start looking different ways at things such tracks, stackup, vias, components, signals, power distribution, and other elements in electronics circuits and PCB layout. Keynote Highlights: Importance of understanding return currents  Understanding impedance Factors that determine high-speed design Higher frequencies and the problems they cause Underst...

This session will take a deep dive into Draftsman's capabilities utilizing templates and custom documents while also looking at the top items your fabricator, assembler, or manufacturer would like to see in these drawings. Keynote Highlights: Demonstration of how to use Altium’s draftsman tool for documenting for fabrication and assembly How to define templates in Altium Demonstration of making a fabrication drawing in Altium How and why to...
