Hello, Welcome to the Altium Learning Hub

Does your device matter? That might seem like a strange question for a design post. However, it is increasingly becoming an important one. We’re in the midst of some pretty significant changes both technologically and culturally in engineering but also the workplace in general. So dig into this post. You might find it more relevant than you initially thought. This post looks at how engineering work is changing and the implications of ECAD...

This article is intended to provide insights on interplane capacitance and guidance for the process of designing PCB stackups. It is useful to look at the evolution of technology as time has passed in order to see how the demands on the PCB stackup have changed. In the early days of PCB fabrication, logic circuits were so slow that the only concerns were how to make connections between logic or discrete parts and provide a path for the DC...

In many companies the PCB designer is expected to know how PCBs are manufactured and how to prepare designs and their documentation in such a way that those PCBs are successfully fabricated, and perform properly at a reasonable price. It is common that the design engineers who work with the PCB designer are not exposed to how PCBs are made, and the materials available from which to make them. These engineers depend on the PCB designer to add...

We’ve collected everything published this week to bring our readers resources to read, watch and listen to all in one place. On the Podcast we introduced a new format so we can invite engineer Ben Jordan on the show more often to take questions from the audience. We also have new articles on the blog and several new videos all about Altium 365.   This OnTrack Podcast with Judy Warner This week on the OnTrack Podcast, Judy Warner and Ben...
