    37:19 Efficient PCB Routing Using Gloss and Retrace Tools The primary goal of your traces is to carry signals throughout your board without losses. To do this properly, you must familiarize yourself with the requirements for signals on the printed circuit board and how to optimize the topology of the board in terms of signal integrity. We will analyze the most popular routing cases applicable for using the Gloss and Retrace tools in Altium Designer to optimize your signal integrity. Gloss Tool Demo: 15 Watch Video
    2:54:29 Altium Academy Virtual Session: Essentials - Schematic Hierarchy, Design Intent and Verification As Part of Altium Academy Virtual Sessions, In this session, we will cover the basics of hierarchical design, design intent through schematic based rules and net classes and verifying schematics prior to transferring to the PCB. Watch Video
    35:05 Altium Academy Virtual Session: Defining High Speed Signal Paths in modern PCB design Current devices have constantly increasing switching speeds and higher requirements for signal integrity and meeting the timing. In this session, get an insight how these challenges can be addressed and converted into a solid and robust PCB Design using most modern tools and methods. Watch Video
    2:55:06 Altium Academy Virtual Session: Essentials - Projects and Schematic Capture As Part of Altium Academy Virtual Sessions, in this webinar, In this session, we will cover the basics for starting Altium, project-based designs, basic schematic capture concepts including placing components, wiring, connectivity and multi-page designs. Watch Video
    43:14 Altium 365:ECAD-MCAD Collaboration Pretty much every printed circuit board assembly ends up in some kind of mechanical enclosure or fixed to a chassis, making collaboration between the ECAD and MCAD domains critical to success. People thought we were crazy when we changed the industry with a 3D PCB editor. Eventually, our competitors tried their best to duplicate this industry-first innovation. Watch an on-demand webinar to learn how Altium 365 will change the industry yet again Watch Video
    1:50:23 Altium Academy Virtual Tech Track: Design Rules and Advanced Constraints As part of our Altium Academy Sessions, the Tech Tracks will dive into industry-specific PCB design challenges that engineers face and how to overcome them. Please watch this webinar to learn more about Design Rules and Advanced Constraints. Watch Video

    1:0:36 PCB Design in Altium Designer with Differential Data Transfer with Ben Jordan Differential data transmission lines usage can be challenging for even experienced designers. First you need to be familiar with the concepts of differential data transmission, find out why it is used, and what the potential advantage for your signal. This webinar will help you determine what part of your designs need differential pairs implementations and how to create such pairs with a given wave impedance in Altium Designer. Watch Video
    49:26 Altium 365: Working Efficiently As a Team Working together as a design team is fundamental, especially with ever-increasing complexity, ECAD/MCAD interaction, pressures on shortened development cycles and getting things right the first time. There are many approaches used today that consist of various applications and services but they inevitably lack tight integration and result in frequent, manual file importing and exporting. It can be difficult to stay synchronized, but it is Watch Video
    44:30 Altium 365: Release to Manufacturing Watch Video
    29:18 Tips & Tricks: Board Shape Creation Being able to design a board in your ECAD environment doesn’t mean that it is manufacturable in real life. You have to make sure your CAD representation won’t have any problems in the real world by taking some precautions. For example, there are certain areas that need to be free of components and have specified clearances like your board edge. This webinar will help you get acquainted with the creation and modification of your board shape so Watch Video
    31:31 Transmission Line Impedance Calculation With Altium Designer 20 Today’s PCBs contain many transmission lines. Combine this with increased clock frequencies and data rates and the result is a critical challenge to high-speed design. Neglecting these dynamics can undermine product development by compromising performance, power consumption, EMC/EMI compliance, and more - leading to delayed design cycles and opening gaps that can be exploited by your competition. Hone your high-speed design skills by joining us as we discuss the typical transmission lines encountered in today’s designs, the PCB variables that affect impedance, as well as how to create, calculate, and design transmission lines in Altium Designer. Learn how to maximize the built in SIMBEOR® engine by Simberian to craft impedance profiles and manage transmission lines in your designs. This Live Webinar recording covers the following: Current trends in electronics development PCB transmission line model and impedance calculations Transmission line with specified impedance in Altium Designer Don’t pass up on this opportunity to experience the industry’s best in class design experience!

    18:27 Product Overview: Altium Concord Pro There are many risks if your library and component data are not managed efficiently and effectively. Inefficiency occurs when multiple users define and create components in their own way or style often leading to redundant component definitions being used across multiple libraries. You can end up with inaccurate and incomplete component data and a lack of visibility into component status without a standardized parameter list or naming convention Watch Video
    39:33 ECAD-MCAD CoDesign with Altium CoDesigner Modern devices have dense layouts in shrinking enclosures. Fitting and mounting a PCB into an enclosure while taking cooling, cabling, and assembly/maintenance processes into consideration requires continuous interaction and cooperation between Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. Precise design data and mechanical information must be sent in a smooth, uninterrupted bi-directional manner. Unfortunately, many engineers still use methods from over Watch Video
