Hello,
Welcome to the Altium Learning Hub

Altium Develop provides a workspace where users can manage projects, component data, and design activities. Initial setup typically involves activating the workspace, connecting Altium Designer, and becoming familiar with the browser-based interface. The tutorials below walk through each of these steps in the order most new users will encounter them.01 - Activate a Workspace in an Altium Develop Account:  This storylane guides account...

Altium Agile Teams provides a shared cloud workspace where engineering teams can manage projects, component data, workspace members, and collaborative design activities. Initial setup typically involves activating the workspace, connecting Altium Designer, becoming familiar with the browser-based interface, and configuring user access. The tutorials below walk through each of these steps in the order most new teams will encounter them. 01 -...

After completing the steps in this onboarding guide, you will be able to:Provide access to best-in-class design technology for 5 or more team membersEnable seamless global collaboration across ECAD, MCAD, and supply chain specialists with Altium Agile Team's cloud-based...

Discover how BOM Portal and Assembly Assistant take you from a released design to prototype-ready in minutes, not days.After releasing your PCB design and generating manufacturing files, the real race begins: preparing your BOM, sourcing parts, and assembling your first prototypes. Yet this phase is where many teams lose days or weeks to manual spreadsheet work, scattered supplier research, and error-prone hand assembly without guidance. Join us...

A single board respin can cost upward of $50,000. A missed product launch window can cost significantly more. Yet when engineering leaders evaluate their design software, most measure ROI by a single number: the license fee on the purchase order. The true return cannot be calculated by a simple glance at a line-item budget. The cost of the design software they use, and perhaps the integrations they are missing or misusing, only accounts for the...

When I speak with first-time flexible circuit designers, there is one theme that resonates over and over again: the stack-up. It's all too easy to fall into the habit of specifying dielectric thicknesses to the decimal point, particularly when pursuing impedance goals or attempting to navigate a rigid-flex transition. But the fact is this: unlike rigid laminates, flexible materials aren't listed in an infinite number of thicknesses. Choices are...

PCB design and assembly standards aren’t there to constrain your productivity. Instead, they’re there to help create uniform expectations of product designs and performance across multiple industries. With standardization comes the tools for compliance, such as calculators for certain design aspects, processes for auditing and inspection, and much more. In high voltage PCB design, the important generic standard for PCB design is IPC-2221. Many...

Making an ASIC the traditional way is no easy task, but now designers can take control of their component designs with programmable logic. There are three options for designing ASICs: CPLDs, FPGAs, or mixed-signal processors. These three approaches allow a designer to essentially create a custom processor which can even be programmed on the fly. If none of the available off-the-shelf component options work for your system, which type of...

The IPC-2221 standard includes many requirements for printed circuit board design and manufacturability, and there are several online calculators that have been developed based on this standard. Aside from impedance and annular ring calculations, one of the other major formulas specified in this standard relates temperature rise, trace width, and trace current. The IPC-2221 standard and IPC-2152 standard both include this guidance on designing...
