Routing Fundamentals & Techniques

This page provides an in-depth look at the ActiveRoute Guided Interactive Router - a key tool when routing your PCB that enables you to quickly produce high-quality results, that meet the design rules, all the while under your full control

This page introduces Altium Designer - the world's foremost professional PCB design software, where the entire design process is performed within a single Unified Design Environment, the only one of its kind and engineered to deliver optimal productivity

This page takes a look at key features and technology enhancements available in the latest version of Altium Designer, providing a compact summary with link out to more detail in each case

This page presents a full listing of the release notes for each public release of Altium Designer

This tutorial guides you through the complete design process using Altium Designer and a connected Workspace, from idea to generated manufacturing output released to the Workspace. Also explores features related to project management and collaboration

This page provides an in-depth look at the process of interactively routing a single net, and the settings that control that process

This page acts as a checklist to help you work out if your board is ready for routing, including how to find nets on the board, making sure relevant design rules are defined, and setting up the routing layers

This page looks at the PCB Editor's support for differential pair routing - a design technique employed to create a balanced transmission system able to carry differential (equal and opposite) signals across a printed circuit board

This page looks at the PCB Editor's support for controlled impedance routing - configuring the routing widths and clearances, as well as the material properties and dimensions, to deliver the required routing impedance(s)

This page looks at the PCB Editor's support for length tuning - being able to match the lengths of routes, by inserting variable amplitude tuning patterns, to ensure that timing-critical signals arrive at their target pins at the same time
