Creating an HDI PCB Stackup Advanced High Density PCB Layout and Design in Altium HDI design and high density interconnect routing require implementing a specific process in the PCB stackup and design rules. Learn more in this chapter of Happy Holden's guidebook. Read Article
Create Your PCB Design Workflow for Military Systems in Altium Designer Military PCB Assembly and Workflow in Altium Designer No matter which industry or vertical you work in, you’ll need to follow important design, performance, and manufacturability standards. These requirements are more stringent when working with military-grade electronic systems. When you work with design software built on a rules-driven design engine, meeting these important standards becomes much easier. Altium Designer gives you the power to prepare a compliant PCB design and prepare manufacturer Read Article
The Best PCB Design Software Features a PCB Trace Impedance Calculator The Best PCB Design Software Features a PCB Trace Width and Impedance Calculator PCB trace width, pad, and via features are some of the most important aspects of your circuit board's performance and need to be carefully designed. The right cross-sectional PCB trace area and distance to the nearest reference plane will ensure your PCB trace impedance is consistent throughout your board. It can also help suppress temperature rise if your board operates at a high current. Choosing the right trace dimensions involves balancing Read Article
PCB impedance calculator PCB Stackup and Trace Impedance Calculator in Altium Designer There are many demands placed on PCB stackup design. High-speed designs carry a requirement for controlled impedance, crosstalk control, and the need for interplane capacitance. Impedance in your traces becomes a critical parameter to consider during stackup design for high-speed PCBs, but the stackup will also influence crosstalk susceptibility and sheet capacitance between ground and power planes. While you can work out many of these details by Read Article
The Best High Speed Design Tools in Altium Designer The Best High Speed Design Software Tools in Altium Designer Building your next high-speed PCB takes the best design and analysis tools. Your high-speed design tools should make it easy to route connections, place components, and design your stackup in a way that ensures signal integrity and prevents unintended crosstalk. Your analysis tools should help you identify problem areas in your PCB, and your design tools should help you quickly implement redesigns in your PCB. With the high-speed PCB design Read Article
Differential Microstrip Routing Routing Differential Microstrip Traces with Controlled Impedance Differential microstrip routing in high speed PCB design requires careful impedance calculations. Altium Designer incorporates these features into its CAD tools. Read Article
