Altium Designer is a leading electronic design automation (EDA) software suite used for designing printed circuit boards (PCBs), FPGA (field-programmable gate array) designs, and embedded systems. It is widely used by engineers, designers, and companies in the electronics industry to create high-quality PCB designs.
Key features of Altium Designer include:
Schematic Design: Create schematics for your electronic circuits using an intuitive and powerful schematic editor.
PCB Layout: Design the layout of your PCBs with advanced routing, layout, and placement tools.
3D Modeling: Visualize your PCB designs in 3D to ensure proper fit and clearance in your enclosure.
Component Management: Manage and organize your components, including libraries, supplier information, and lifecycle status.
Simulation: Perform signal integrity (SI) analysis, power integrity (PI) analysis, and other simulations to validate your designs.
Manufacturing Output: Generate manufacturing files, such as Gerber files, NC drill files, and Bill of Materials (BOM), for fabrication and assembly.
Collaboration: Work collaboratively on projects with built-in version control and design data management tools.
Integration: Integrate with other design tools and platforms, such as mechanical CAD software and PLM (product lifecycle management) systems
