Hello, Welcome to the Altium Learning Hub

Fabrication, assembly, and manufacturing can all become a breeze so long as you’re using the proper PCB design software. Make sure that anything you use in those processes, like what is a stencil for PCB, is accounted for with your CAD tools. In this article, we are going to explore what is stencil in PCB and the types of stencil for PCB. ALTIUM DESIGNER PCB design software is responsible for enabling your designs to be produced with ease....

Probably, the most formidable task of circuit board design is routing traces. In addition to connecting components accurately you must also route through vias for multi-layer PCB design while ensuring that spacing and clearance specifications meet the tolerances of your PCB fabrication and assembly services. And successfully meeting these challenges requires that you incorporate good grounding and power supply PCB layout into your design. AL...

Plainly stated, the choice of components that you select will determine the functionality, reliability, and manufacturability of your PCB. Choosing the wrong components is akin to arriving at the construction site with the wrong materials. Either the structure cannot be built at all or it will ultimately fail prematurely. The use of a PCB design package with good component management capability can help you select a PCB component list that will...

Altium Designer’s differential line impedance calculator will set up your impedance-controlled differential pair routing widths for you. ALTIUM DESIGNER For better impedance control, use PCB design software you can trust. One thing is for sure: When you are routing a high-speed PCB design you are going to be working with impedance-controlled routing and differential pairs. There have been trace routing tools available for a long time that...

This 2 hour session will cover the basics for starting Altium Designer, project based design and basic schematic capture concepts in Altium Designer.

Colin Keogh PhD, CEO & Founder at The Rapid Foundation, has been on the front lines of the effort to combat ventilator shortages ever since a Facebook group called Open Source COVID-19 Medical Supplies (OSCMS) first presented the problem.  As cofounder of Open Source Ventilator (OSV) Ireland and a member of its core team, Colin offers his uniquely qualified perspective on open source innovation: its obstacles, its advantages, and its impact on...

Watch our webinar “Migrate from Database Libraries to Altium 365” as part of the Altium Academy Series.

This 2 hour session will cover the creation of Project & Draftsman Templates and the use of Design Variants & Board level Annotation.

Altium’s DbLib support is one of the oldest and most loved features of Altium Designer for managing electronic components and their data. They’ve been present in the software world since before I could fathom the existence of Ohm’s law. Now with Altium 365 being the new mode of creating and managing projects, design teams have a secure cloud environment they can use to host and share their projects, libraries, component data, and manufacturing...
