Hello, Welcome to the Altium Learning Hub

Have you never been asked to increase work efficiency when designing electronic prototypes? How did you handle your PCB design merging reliability, mechanical integration and short delivery time? During the design and preparation processes, time is a key factor. It is quite common to receive special requests at the last moment. In order to be able to deliver electronic devices in time the design process, validation, prototyping and testing have...

After a brief explanation about modern test methodologies and in-system programming capabilities via the JTAG interface on chip, board, and system level, the focus of this presentation will be on the necessity and ways for improving your design for testing (DFT) and fast in-system programming. This is best done during the schematic stage. Studies and experience show that if you do, your company will substantially save engineering time and build...

Battery powered wireless devices can present a number of design challenges, especially the combination of being space constrained along with having dynamic current requirements both during RF transmission and charging, in which minimizing IR drops within the PCB layout to achieve maximum efficiency is critical. Whilst careful design can be used to mitigate potential IR drop issues, the use of Power Delivery Analysis in the layout gives much...

Watch the session "Injection Molded Structural Electronics: Creating Smart Surfaces with Electronic Functionality," presented by Sini Rytky and Tuomas Heikkilä from TactoTek at Altium Live. In this presentation, they demonstrate how IMSE is redefining electronics integration by enabling smart, functional surfaces that seamlessly merge form and function. Watch the replay and explore the summary and key takeaways below to learn how IMSE works...

We’re in an era where product life cycles are shrinking, and the demands on PCB designers are more intense than ever. The need for speed is clear, and additive manufacturing now enables rapid, in-house iteration, all in complete secrecy. Watch Robert Even, Product Marketing Manager at Nano Dimension, present at AltiumLive. In this session, he covers: The technical aspects of how 3D printing works How additive manufacturing is migrating into...

Rigid-flex technology offers some unique advantages for high reliability applications in miniaturized systems. But getting started can be difficult and the variants and possibilities are diverse. Because of this, standardization is mandatory to meet quality and cost which starts not in production, but with the design. This presentation will demonstrate how rigid-flex design can be achieved in Altium Designer, while also showcasing some nice...

Developing hardware that involves an FPGA requires work in both an FPGA environment and a PCB design tool. They are separate environments, but require close interaction. In this interaction there are different approaches and strategies possible. In my presentation I will outline different approaches, peculiarities of FPGA systems, useful naming conventions and explain why keeping a strict relationship between names on the FPGA and PCB will save...
