Today’s PCBs contain many transmission lines. Combine this with increased clock frequencies and data rates and the result is a critical challenge to high-speed design. Neglecting these dynamics can undermine product development by compromising performance, power consumption, EMC/EMI compliance, and more - leading to delayed design cycles and opening gaps that can be exploited by your competition. Hone your high-speed design skills by joining us...

Remote work and collaboration on complex projects of all kinds is the future of electronics design. Currently, design teams must go through a back-and-forth collaboration and management process that involves ZIP files, email chains, and poorly-formatted Excel spreadsheets. Considering the modern sourcing landscape, electronic components management is very difficult when your design and parts data is fragmented in multiple locations. It’s enough...

You can design a PCB any way you like, but if it doesn’t pass a PCB design review and manufacturability checks, then it will never become a real board. A PCB design review is about more than just checking DRCs, it’s about designing to satisfy your manufacturer’s capabilities and processes. PCB design reviews also give the design team a chance to examine manufacturing files and deliverables for any errors before sending data in for fabrication and...

Whether you are an individual designer or a team of people, there are always others in the value chain that you rely on to turn your design from intent to reality. Making this happen means you have to collaborate and share. One of the problems is that the way this is done today can be cumbersome, error-prone and inefficient — we haven’t progressed much beyond phone calls and emails, until now. Watch an on-demand webinar by Altium’s Chief Software...
