Read Article ISO 13485 Compliance: Tools for PCB Designers and Manufacturers Your Altium 365 workspace and Concord Pro can be used as part of a QMS system for ISO 13485 compliance. Here’s how cloud collaboration helps manufacturers. Read Article Temperature Sensor Project: Intro In this project we will build a range of PCBs which will cover all the temperature sensor types and circuits to implement them. Read Article Why You Should Stop Hanging on to Legacy Design Rules How to avoid problematic ‘legacy design rules’ that no longer apply to today’s technology. Watch and learn in this OnTrack episode with Eric Bogatin. Read Article World-Class Electrical Engineering Courses with Rolf Ostergaard Denmark also has a robust tech industry. On several occasions, Speeding Edge partnered with Rolf Ostergaard, founder and owner of EE-Training, to present our two and three-day training courses in Copenhagen and Aarhus, Denmark as well as in Stockholm and Malmo, Sweden and Oslo, Norway. Read Article 12 Ideas for Implementing NFC in Your Design Read to learn about many possibilities for NFC; some of these project ideas are taken from commercially available products or research papers; others are ideas from working through reading the NFC standard. Read Article Secrets of PCB Optimization with Rick Hartley Rick joins Judy on the OnTrack podcast to discuss everything from copper balance and sizing your boards for maximum producibility and minimum cost, to his upcoming presentation at AltiumLive 2020 and his contribution to PCB West’s upcoming virtual conference. Read Article Low Noise, Low EMI Power Distribution This board has several loads on it, but it is purely a distribution board with no regulation. The main loads are the hefty 5V Tilta nano focus motor, 5V SDI to HDMI converter, 5V Tilta follows focus control, and the battery voltage powered monitor. Out of these, only the SDI to HDMI convert needs remotely clean power. The motor, however, is very electrically noisy, so it needs good isolation. Read Article Component Library Structure Learn the roles, permissions, component revisions, and lifecycles of our Component Library. It's essential to have them in place now rather than later because it's difficult to change them once you begin to actually start with coponents! Read Article Being Right Matters! When, Why and What to Simulate Steve Sandler, electronics simulation and PI guru, prolific author, AEi Systems founder, and president of Picotest, joins the OnTrack Podcast for a “hold onto your seats” discussion of how he came to simulate the International Space Station for NASA, the intricacies of the James Webb Space Telescope, his flash of insight while improving WEBENCH®, modern board level issues, and his secret life as a pizza chef. Read Article Single Cell Lithium Polymer Battery Charger Project Learn how to create your first Altium project. This simple example shows you how to build a low-cost USB powered single cell lithium polymer battery charger. Read Article PDN Impedance Measurement For Power Subsystem Design In order for a power subsystem to provide adequate power, a PDN impedance measurement versus frequency must be performed with custom test probes. Read Article How Material Characteristics Factor into High Speed PCB Signal Performance Evaluating laminates for a particular PCB implementation can be a complex, multilevel process , especially when it comes to the operation of key components on the board, such as high-speed differential pairs. This article will examine some of the factors that come into play with the evaluation process: materials with a low dielectric content versus materials that are low loss; comparing the advantages and disadvantages of each of them; taking Read Article What Happens to PCIe Signals Traversing Blind Vias at Higher Speeds? In our one, two and three-day courses, which we conduct at technical and trade conferences as well as at private on-site classes, we will frequently be asked about particular technology trends and their impact on current designs. Of late, a number of these questions have focused on how the use of PCI Express (also known as PCIe) at higher frequencies impacts signals that change layers through vias. Limits on the number of vias in PCIe generations Read Article Altium 365 Getting Started User Guide - Available Now Hi Everyone, A month ago, I announced the release of the Altium Designer Getting Started User Guide . This week we are following up with the release of another helpful guide: Altium 365 Getting Started User Guide . The Altium 365 cloud platform offers the most connected experience for PCB design and realization with direct access from Altium Designer or any web browser.
