Finally, very important EMI design rule checks and plane resonance analyses are available in the Altium Designer environment, thanks to a collaboration with NEC Solution Innovators. This talk will show you how bad EMI designs cause serious EMI problems and how to mitigate EMI using EMI design rule check and plane resonance analysis. We will explain some of the most important rules with simulation and experiment results. Additional Resources: D...

Electronics is in everything due to significant technology transformations, electronics is in every part of our lives, and it’s disrupting entire industries. The global growth in Electronic Systems is everywhere, from Autonomous Driving, AD infrastructure, electrification of vehicles, smart devices, smart factories, smart cities, and many more verticals, creating considerable challenges for system manufacturers in designing quality products with...

Altium joined forces with Simbeor, a company with the world’s experts in electromagnetic simulation, to integrate a simple to use 2D field solver. You can use this tool to both analyze and synthesize a stack up to achieve a target singe-ended or differential impedance. You don’t have to be a PhD in EM to use it to get to a useful answer. I will walk you through how to use it to analyze the impedance of your traces and synthesis a design that hits...

Don’t spend any more time thinking about connectors than you have to. Altium’s rich design tools with Samtec’s product flexibility and automated design tools ensure the fit and function you need without system redesign. Highlights: Demo of time saving tools for streamlining the PCB design process Overview of Samtec’s free samples and reserve products Additional Resources: Design PCBs with a Free Trial of Altium Designer Here Connect with...

Designing PCBs that have multi-gigabit high-speed links takes careful planning. There are many pitfalls in layout routing that can easily destroy a signal link. In this session, we will start with the fundamentals of Signal Integrity, and quickly move into an exploration of many design choices we have under our control to improve signal integrity at 16Gbps and above.  In particular, we’ll take a look at impedance control of differential traces...

It is fairly common to find multiple on-board sources of energy causing EMI on today's portable, mobile, and IoT devices. The EMI from these energy sources can couple and often interfere with the receiver performance of cellular, GPS, and other wireless modules. This presentation describes methods for identifying, characterizing, and reducing the coupling from these energy sources. Highlights: How Altium 365 Works  Changes to routine...

This session will cover best practices of using the schematic to convey design intent using net classes and rules. Attendees will also learn to build complex design rules using priorities and classes for components, rules, and nets. Highlights: Working with the ActiveBOM document during the design process Understanding design requirements  Role of synchronization Importance of appropriate clearance in the design process Using rooms in the...
