Getting Your Layer Stack Right

Getting Your Layer Stack Right An improper layer stack in your PCB design is one of the most common errors leading to fabrication failures and rejects. Every multilayer circuit board needs a precise PCB stack-up and accurate layout before it can be sent for PCB manufacturing. When you have the right set of circuit board design tools, you can turn your stackup into a real PCB layout and prepare the documentation your fabricator needs. The multi-layer PCB troubleshooting tools Read Article

Adopting Signal Integrity In Your High Speed Design Process

Adopting Signal Integrity In Your High Speed Design Process With switching speeds in TTL and newer logic families being fast enough to process data at Mbps and Gbps data rates, high speed design techniques are now critical for nearly every PCB designer. As rise times in digital signals have become faster, designers must either make their interconnects shorter or devise some important design strategies to prevent signal integrity problems. Today’s engineers need a complete toolset for signal integrity Read Article

The Breadth and Depth of Your PCB Design Workflow

The Breadth and Depth of Your PCB Design Workflow The routing process remains the most time-consuming layout task, Altium Designer interactive routing technology makes design dense board layouts much easier. Modern printed circuit boards must address a broad set of technology challenges. PCB design software needs to include tools that help design engineers stay productive while ensuring new designs are fully manufacturable. Designers that create advanced technology rely on interactive routing Read Article

Multi-Channel Design with a Flat Project

Multi-Channel Design with a Flat Project This paper will show you how to easily replicate circuitry for multi-channel design applications using Altium Designer PCB design software. You can save yourself plenty of time by reusing existing functional blocks in your PCB, but design reuse is difficult without the right schematic editor. Each schematic you create for your board contains blocks of circuitry that can be connected together, and multi-channel design makes it easy to reuse Read Article

BGA Fanout Routing

BGA Fanout Routing How many times have you attempted to route into a BGA, only to be prevented by clearance and track width constraints? This is a time-consuming process in most design software, but Altium Designer has the tools you need to make this process easy. Rather than spending time manually modifying track widths in your BGA routing strategy, Altium Designer allows you to implement neck-down as you route into your BGA. You’ll also have a complete set of Read Article

Variant Management Keeps Designs Synchronized

Assembly Variants Management Systems Keeps Designs Synchronized Altium Designer gives you a robust centralized variant management system. You can define any number of design variations of a base design, then manage component parameters and configure the variant components as fitted, not fitted, or alternate parts. As these variants share the same bare board and have impact on the assembly process only, we call these assembly variants. Now you will see how variant management in Altium Designer can harmonize Read Article

Customize BOM Reports for Consistent Documentation

Customize BOM Reports for Consistent Documentation Learn how to clearly communicate proper board assembly with multiple variants with BOM customization in Altium Designer. Upon completion of a design, the project enters the assembly process where the assemblers and/or purchasers rely on trustworthy documentation to provide a list of components, materials, and parts necessary to produce the board design. This document, called the bill of materials (BOM), lists all of the required materials needed Read Article
