Switching Units From MM to Mils and Other PCB Design Measurement Preferences Switching Units From MM to Mils and Other PCB Design Measurement Preferences Your PCB layout needs to be an accurate reflection of your final design and should follow a specified unit scale. Inside Altium Designer, there are simple ways to set units as you work on the PCB layout, as well as in the schematic where circuits are being created. The short guide below shows how to switch from mm to mil in the Schematic Editor and in the PCB Editor. Users can do this live (while working on the PCB layout) or from the Preferences Read Article

Comparator Propagation Delay in High Speed Mixed-Signal Design Comparator Propagation Delay in High Speed Mixed-Signal Design Comparator-based thresholding circuits are often described in simple terms: an analog signal crosses a threshold, the comparator changes its output voltage level, typically to a standard logic level like 3.3V or 5V. The digital section can then process this logic level directly on silicon or in application logic. How this occurs in programmable logic depends on the comparator propagation delay. The important question is when the comparator output Read Article
