Hello, Welcome to the Altium Learning Hub

Altium Concord Pro™ as a standalone product and brand name has been discontinued and the capabilities are now available as part of our Altium enterprise solutions. Learn more here. Precursor To help PCB Designers to become better at what they do, the series of Blogs on Concord Pro are broken down by category. Each category walks through the entire process of setting up and efficiently using Concord Pro. Furthermore, at the end of each blog are...

I just heard that the Embedded Vision Alliance (embedded-vision.com) has rebranded itself as the Edge AI and Vision Alliance (edge-ai-vision.com). To be honest, I think this change is absolutely the right thing for the alliance and I also think this is the perfect time for the change. The original Embedded Vision Alliance was founded in 2011 by Jeff Bier and Berkeley Design Technology Inc. (BDTI). Although this is only nine years ago at the time...

New ‘connectome’ maps some 25,000 neurons in a fruit fly’s brain, a portion of which are shown here (Image source: Google / FlyEM) Sometimes I feel sad about all of the things we don’t yet know, but these feelings are usually counterbalanced by the excitement of all the things we are constantly discovering. Many of these discoveries are made possible by the technologies conceived by scientists and realized by engineers, such as the scanning...

These days, the designers of electronic systems have a wealth of affordably display technologies to choose from. Even a relatively simple system like a toaster oven typically boasts a small liquid crystal display (LCD) or light-emitting diode (LED) display. Of course, developers weren't always this lucky. Throughout much of the first half of the twentieth century, the most widely used display technology (apart from small incandescent light bulbs...

As Part of Altium Academy Virtual Sessions, in this session, we will cover the setup of the PCB including shaping, layer stackup, rule basics and creation, and various placement concepts using methods including rooms and manual placement.

Altium, a leading global developer of software for electronics design, and Würth Elektronik, a reputable manufacturer of printed circuit boards in Germany, invite you to participate in a joint webinar "Best Practices for Successful Rigid-Flex Design Fabrication”. As part of the webinar, attendees will be informed of essential best practices to avoid CAM holds and ensure the trouble-free fabrication of rigid-flex boards. Attendees will also...

Pretty much every printed circuit board assembly ends up in some kind of mechanical enclosure or fixed to a chassis, making collaboration between the ECAD and MCAD domains critical to success. People thought we were crazy when we changed the industry with a 3D PCB editor. Eventually, our competitors tried their best to duplicate this industry-first innovation. Watch an on-demand webinar to learn how Altium 365 will change the industry yet again...

Enterprise IoT became one of the biggest tech buzzwords in 2019, with many analysts promising improvements in business efficiencies and profits simply by connecting everything in the office. As time goes on, real problems that can be solved by connecting business assets start to become clear, and practical opportunities for innovation and problem solving can be identified. I would argue we’re starting to move away from the 1990s-equivalent age of...

It’s been about one year since I posted a BLOG about the new VeCS Technology (vertical connection structures) invented by Joan Tourné. Since then, Joan has written four papers detailing much more information about his invention. This is a quick update, in case you have not seen or read those papers. He has two more coming up in January 2020, and March 2020 in PCB007. Vertical Conductive Structures-Rethinking Sequential Lamination [1] NEXTGIN...
