Hello, Welcome to the Altium Learning Hub

Manufacturing a printed circuit board and designing a circuit board are two different things. As designers or electrical engineers who are now laying out boards, you may have some questions for your manufacturer that are best asked in advance. There is always an advantage to working closely with your fabricator.  Consider the big picture and the very details that impact your projects' success. Click the PDF above to read more about PCB...

PCB Design is a complex field and every step you take to design and develop a board has its own set of best practices. But what will truly move the needle in your design process? Modular Design tools that keep your team not only focused but in the flow.  Altium has pioneered collaborative design for EDA tools because Altium PCB design tools start each iteration with ultimate productivity in mind. Join us in an exploration of Modular PCB design...

Have you ever tried tracing your wireless usage? Bluetooth PCB antenna design has gotten our bluetooth electronics everywhere by allowing devices to connect to a standardized matching network. For instance, I am streaming music from my phone to wireless headphones. Later, I’ll hop into my car and take phone calls through my hands-free computer system. Then I can get home and talk to my home-assistants to tell me the weather, set dinner timers...

The electronics industry continues to pack more capabilities onto smaller PCBs and devices are being run at lower power and at higher frequencies. Noise suppression becomes even more important as operating frequencies rise and signal levels fall, this becomes more manageable with an EMI filter for noise on a PCB design. Adding filtration to your PCB designs can enhance signal integrity in EMI-prone environments with large stray magnetic fields...
