There has been a growing trend toward USB being a power delivery interface with data, rather than a data interface that can supply power, as the 1.0 specification originally intended. To Read Article
    EMI Case History — Noise Problems And Their Solutions — Part 1 There is an old saying about experience being the best teacher but, more often, the appropriate adage is: “Experience is a hard teacher because she gives us the test first, the lesson afterward.” (Vernon Law). This can definitely apply to the PCB product development process when problems missed during design can arise when the working hardware is put into operation. The foregoing is an apt description of an EMI design issue that we encountered Read Article

    Perfect Styling for Your Organization with Altium 365 We all had a moment when piles of annotated schematics were growing on our desk, and we started losing track of what was what.

In this article, I want to show you how to make a stunning personalized schematic template for your business that is ready for the Altium 365 and the 21st century.

    Rocketing into the Future with Apollo Fusion and Altium Space is a uniquely punishing environment, from extreme temperatures to high levels of radiation. Anything designed to operate in space has to be more than just tough—it has to be virtually indestructible. Apollo Fusion, a Bay Area startup, develops propulsion systems for satellites that provide global connectivity. Their Power Processing Units (PPUs) are built with the uniquely harsh environment in mind, rugged and radiation-tolerant for ongoing Read Article
    To Say Thank You to All Our Users We've Launched a Refer-a-Friend Program As some of our users might have noticed, we were running a survey on the Altium Designer home page (available in Altium Designer 20 and up) for a few months. The survey asked Altium Designer users, "How likely are you to recommend Altium Designer to friends and colleagues?" (with ten meaning extremely likely). The vast majority of users responded with 9 and 10. We were quite overwhelmed with this positive feedback. Thank you to all who Read Article
