Hello, Welcome to the Altium Learning Hub

In recent years, the concept of reshoring has gained significant traction as companies seek to bring their manufacturing and production operations back to their home countries. Reshoring, also referred to as onshoring or backshoring, involves bringing the production and manufacturing of goods back to the company’s home country. This trend is driven by a range of factors, including the desire to reduce transportation and production costs, improve...

Talent is the linchpin that holds everything together. However, talent can also become a failure point if not managed effectively. The article explores five key insights into how talent can become a failure point in supply chains and provides early indicator checklists for leaders to identify potential issues before they escalate. One significant challenge is the skills mismatch, where the workforce’s skills do not align with the evolving demands...

In today’s PCB designs signal integrity is crucial to ensure that high-speed signals are transmitted accurately without degradation. Poor signal integrity can lead to data errors, timing issues, and performance loss, affecting the reliability and functionality of the entire circuit. Join us for a comprehensive webinar on Signal Analyzer by Keysight in Altium Designer. Discover how to easily detect and resolve high-speed signal integrity...

As PCB technology continues to evolve, new manufacturing techniques like ultra-high-density interconnect (UHDI) PCB fabrication are unlocking incredible possibilities. Among the most transformative advancements are semi-additive processes (SAP) and modified semi-additive processes (mSAP), which enable the creation of finer traces and spaces beyond what traditional subtractive etching can achieve. These innovations are pushing the boundaries of...

Watch the webinar to learn about the new application joining the Altium 365 suite. Requirements & Systems Portal will help align engineering teams to get to market quicker.

Introduction Signal reflections and the engineering related to impedance matching are one of the basic topics related to design of high-speed digital systems. In the case of digital system with a high bit rate, in which information about the state of bits "0" and "1" is sent in the form of a square wave signal, it is assumed that the rise (or fall) time of the rising and falling edges are negligible in relation to the binary signal frequency. In...

There's a big difference between a parts list and a BOM for a PCBA. A parts list is a simple list of part numbers that will appear in the design. It doesn't become a BOM until some sourcing information is attached. Once you have a real BOM, you can go out and source parts from your vendors and start the assembly process. At the end of the design process, a designer will need to attach that sourcing information to their parts list and turn it...

The intricacies of electronic design and the challenges they present have never been more pronounced. As devices become more interconnected, the need for efficient, error-free design processes becomes paramount. Modern electronic design challenges emphasize the importance of connecting design data with requirements. With tools like Altium's requirements management powered by AI intelligence, you can manage complexities faster and with fewer...

As PCB design complexity increases, engineers often face hurdles with traditional tools like those from Cadence. Common challenges include disjointed design environments, manual synchronization, collaboration barriers, and inefficiencies in managing complex projects. These issues can lead to avoidable errors, wasted time, and costly redesigns, disrupting your development process.   Join our webinar to discover how Altium’s proposition addresses...
