Altium

The electronics industry is constantly changing, especially when it comes to the supply chain. Components are constantly going out of stock or have ridiculous lead times making them non viable as a design option. These problems are ones we face everyday, but they don’t just affect the design that is currently being worked on, they affect all designs, even completed ones. Projects today rely on the instability of the components market but with Altium Designer you can bring stability back to your team.

It's no secret that software developers often use completed code fragments from other projects for quick and predictable results. The same can be done for PCB Design, there is no need to spend time rewiring schematics or laying out components on boards you’ve done before. Join us this webinar where we’ll go over how you can use your existing designs to create reusable design blocks, speeding up the design cycle for your future projects.

With each use of Altium Designer, each of us develops a certain approach to creating and working with our PCB projects. But effective work, especially in a team, requires a certain design culture that unifies many aspects of development. The webinar will explore some of the capabilities of Altium Designer to automate and maintain an efficient design culture.

You're done designing? Great! Now it's time to get your board fabricated. This webinar will discuss the process of getting your board fabricated, how to work with your manufacturer, and potential problems you might face.

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.

What most people don’t seem to grasp is that every aspect of the PCB is critical. It all plays a significant part in the operation of the final product. The layer stack is no different. We need to keep in mind materials and the intricacies therein, including thickness, weave, dielectric constants, and more.

A proper layer stack is needed for each and every design, so it's important to know how to navigate the layer stack manager and all of its features. By mastering the layer stack manager you can quickly create a new stackup from existing templates, swap out approved materials with the materials library, and more. Join us for this webinar to learn how you can take control of your stackup.

Design rules are there to help you design your board, but what’s there to help you design your rules? Without proper creation, design rules are useless. This makes board creation and accurate verification almost impossible. The upgraded design rule editor in Altium Designer allows you to validate your rules, checking for conflicts and usability issues. After you have a valid rule set you can begin to design and debug your board; which Altium Designer can assist you with as well.

We invite all our subscription customers to attend one of our live onboarding sessions, where members of the Altium Product team will demonstrate how to use the key features of Altium 365 and answer all of your questions.

Leveraging circuit simulation in the schematic capture environment is a powerful tool that enables projects to be completed sooner and reduce the cost of hardware prototypes, while providing an extra layer of assurance that products are robust, reliable, and of the highest quality. Join us for an informative webinar to see how the simulation capability that is included in Altium Designer can turbocharge your design productivity.
