Hello, Welcome to the Altium Learning Hub

In How to Build a Custom GPT Action to Talk to Your Hardware and Building an AI Lab Assistant, we learned how to control our hardware using Generative AI. By utilizing custom GPT Actions within ChatGPT we were able to give ChatGPT the ability to not only blink LEDs off a Raspberry Pi but also control and acquire data from lab instruments. This meant that we could use artificial intelligence as our lab assistant and also process data for us that...

While the overall success of the semiconductor industry hinges on teetering supply and demand, the industry strives for equilibrium between them. Particularly in Taiwan, national trade for technology purposes relies heavily on this as chips make up more than 15% of its gross domestic product (GDP).  While semiconductor supply increases, reduced purchases of advanced technologies slows demand as companies make cuts in the wake of the global...

The real products you find out in the wild don’t always use a single circuit board. Many products use multiple boards, and this includes everything from your computer to your coffee maker. And whenever you design a product with multiple circuit boards, there are multiple BOMs and multiple libraries to track as the various components get put into manufacturing. For some products, a single BOM can already be a handful, especially when it has...

It seems like the PCB industry is always lagging behind semiconductor packaging, both in terms of manufacturing and signal integrity. As the industry looks forward to 224G interfaces moving from demo to production, the Ethernet Alliance and organizations like SNIA/SSF are focused on the next generation of ultra-high data rates. The major factors impacting signal integrity again change once you reach the 28 to 56 GHz bandwidth range, bringing more...

Amidst an escalating tech rivalry between the United States and China, the semiconductor industry finds itself in the middle of the confrontation. The recent update to US export controls targeting AI chips and chipmaking tools destined for China has introduced a new chapter in this technological tug-of-war. While aimed at curtailing China's scientific and military advancement, these measures have broad ramifications for the electronic component...

Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of nearly 15,000 synthetic chemicals, “forever chemicals” that are extremely slow to degrade, remaining in the environment for an unknown amount of time and, over time, possibly leaking into the soil, water, and air. Besides their environmental impact, health regulators are concerned about how exposure to these chemicals may impact human health, including increasing the risk of some cancers...
