Hello, Welcome to the Altium Learning Hub

No one wants to do a board respin because of inaccurate or incomplete manufacturing outputs confusing design intent. This webinar covers the information needed for PCB Manufacturing and Assembly, as well as, a simple way to communicate and collaborate with manufacturing. JOIN US TO EXPLORE THE OPTIONS AND WAYS OF DATA USAGE IN ALTIUM DESIGNER: Output files for PCB Manufacturing and Assembly Uses for output files Methods of output generation Co...

Some PCB design software packages make you feel like you’ve been bamboozled. On one hand, you’re told that you’ll have access to tools that will let you move through the entire design process. Then all of a sudden, you can’t finish your design without purchasing critical features as add-ons. Only Altium Designer integrates all the best design tools in a single circuit diagram maker. You can get access to free versions that include critical design...

With Active BOM you can eliminate any guesswork out of your component browser and help you to start your PCB design right. ALTIUM DESIGNER A PCB design tool to keep your PCB moving forward through all stages of production. Are you tired of waiting for other people to give you feedback on your components before you can start your work? Are you tired of budget-busting eleventh hour changes on your design due to incorrect or out-of-date...

So what does the ASME have to say about PCB design and deployment? As it turns out, there are many important points from the ASME to consider during design for manufacturing. Some important IPC standards for ensuring reliability are derived from ASME standards, while other documentation and drawing standards are specified explicitly in the ASME standards. Whether you work with electromechanical systems, the auto industry, or in aerospace, the...

Today’s PCBs are rarely designed on one- or two-layer boards. With the high density of connections and the number of components that are used in modern PCBs, your next design will probably be a multilayer PCB. If your next device has an odd form factor, then you will probably be using a rigid-flex PCB. No matter what type of circuit board you need to design, or whether you're designing something more advanced like UHDI or packaging, implement the...

Every electromagnetic signal, whether it's a digital signal traveling in a PCB or a wave propagating through the air between antennas, will have a finite speed. This finite speed is the propagation delay for a signal. It is an important quantity for several reasons, which are primarily found in high-speed PCB design and in RF systems design. Differential digital interfaces and phase-sensitive RF designs are the most important areas where...

Don’t let antiquated Printed Circuit Board routing tools slow down or even derail your design, use the best PCB router software to get the job done correctly and on time. ALTIUM DESIGNER® A unified PCB routing software and design package that integrates the best tools, automated documentation, and production planning features. The ASME is one organization that specifies design requirements on all types of mechanical products. Issues like...

PCB components are not just electronic parts, they are important pieces of data in ECAD software used to create a PCB layout. The physical components placed on a PCB during assembly all have digital analogs that exist in your PCB design software. As such, designers have a responsibility to know about the physical characteristics of their components and to create this data in PCB design software while ensuring DFM and DFA rules are followed in the...

You have an important design project ahead of you, but what you don’t have is the resources to get it done on time. Not only do you need help, but you also need a powerful PCB design system to get the job done as quickly and efficiently as possible. Fortunately, Altium has the answers to your problems. With Altium Develop, which includes Altium Designer and Altium 365, you have the most advanced PCB design software system available today that can...
