Whether you’re creating a new circuit design or trying to determine whether a substitute for an out-of-stock component will function properly in your existing design, simulation can be a vital, time-saving tool. Join our webinar this month and see firsthand how using simulation tools throughout your design process can help you easily verify that your finished project functions as intended.

Every design has specific characteristics. You must consider the “care-abouts” and “what-ifs” of your circuit to achieve a high-performing, functional product. By quickly applying mathematical functions, or defining measurements from your waveforms, you can determine how to further enhance your circuit performance. Join our webinar this month and see for yourself how the advanced simulation analysis tools in Altium Designer can make your design-life easier!

For many of us, building a PCB is not done by a single person. We have teams for the schematic, layout, procurement, enclosure, and more. And for all design decisions, there is a review and approval process. It is essential to ask questions and review the design approaches used with your team. Design reviews are essential in the design process, but they can be inconvenient for team members and lack traceability or history. To create the best designs, you need review methods that are as cutting edge as the boards you're making. Join us this week where we'll discuss design review best practices.

When it's time to release your project to your manufacturer, it's essential to ensure that all the necessary design aspects like assembly, BOM, and documentation are accurately and completely conveyed. Consistency is key to ensuring a successful release. Without clear release documentation, the designer faces increased risks of costly manufacturing respins, time-consuming rework, or unintentional defects that can make it into the final product. This webinar will show how the Altium Designer Project Releaser can help you quickly generate complete and consistent release packages for successful first-pass manufacturing. You'll also learn how to customize the release process to fit your specific needs.

In this webinar, you'll see how combining Project Releaser with Altium 365 provides designers with advanced capabilities that help projects get manufactured quickly and reliably.

Surprises can be fun. Supply chain surprises on the other hand are no fun at all; they can derail your budget, deadlines, and build quality. When electronic components become obsolete, design and production can suffer lengthy delays. With an average of 15 end-of-life notices issued every day, part obsolescence is a challenge that most engineers routinely face.

Whether you’re solo or a whole team, components need to have more than just a schematic symbol and footprint. Incomplete components can lead to chaotic libraries that are difficult to filter through and find needed components. This usually leads to duplicated efforts as well. Avoid these struggles and create complete, ready-to-use components with Altium Designer and Altium 365.

Designing is stressful enough, you shouldn’t have to worry about procuring parts as well. Unfortunately, this is the reality for most of us, especially in today’s climate. Supplies and prices seem to change overnight, and with counterfeit components being so prevalent it sometimes seems that the most difficult part of a project is being able to obtain trusted supply chain sources for your components. You need to ask yourself. Can you trust your supplier? Are they using counterfeit parts? Is there enough supply? Are you within budget? These are all important questions to answer, as any delays can cost you a first-mover advantage, and using bad parts can completely wipe out your budget. Fortunately Altium Designer has teamed up with industry leader IHS Markit to give designers powerful insight into their supply chain.
