Hello, Welcome to the Altium Learning Hub

Tarun Amla is Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of ITEQ. In this conversation, we dive into some of the mistakes product developers can make and the technological challenges they face. When it comes to laminates, Tarun is the industry’s noted go-to-guy, and is arguably the leading expert when it comes to determining the best suited laminate for targeted product applications. This article includes a description of ITEQ; the...

In my previous article, PDN Analyzer Quick Start on a Motor Driver PCB, MattPVD asked the question, “How does one determine an acceptable current density?” I have to admit, I spent a lot of time trying to answer this exact question when I was first creating the simulation for the board. What current density is acceptable? The IPC has guidelines hidden away in their documents, but you have to pay to access those documents, which means it's not...

A $2 trillion coronavirus relief bill was signed into law on Wednesday, March 25th. The bill will, among other things, send money directly to American citizens, small businesses, and troubled corporations, all of which have been greatly affected by COVID-19 and the resulting lockdowns. In this podcast, Dr. John Mitchell, president and CEO of the IPC trade association, discusses the effects of the SARS-CoV-2 crisis on the electronics industry...

As part of our Altium Academy Sessions, the Tech Tracks will dive into industry-specific PCB design challenges that engineers face and how to overcome them. Please watch this webinar to learn more about Design Rules and Advanced Constraints.

Differential data transmission lines usage can be challenging for even experienced designers. First you need to be familiar with the concepts of differential data transmission, find out why it is used, and what the potential advantage for your signal. This webinar will help you determine what part of your designs need differential pairs implementations and how to create such pairs with a given wave impedance in Altium Designer.

Working together as a design team is fundamental, especially with ever-increasing complexity, ECAD/MCAD interaction, pressures on shortened development cycles and getting things right the first time. There are many approaches used today that consist of various applications and services but they inevitably lack tight integration and result in frequent, manual file importing and exporting. It can be difficult to stay synchronized, but it is...
