Always On

Design as you always have. Part Insights Experience is on and ready to guide your part selection.

Altium Designer 2023

PCB Design Improvements


With Altium Designer, you have the power to move your projects from concept to manufacture within a unified design experience. Altium Designer 23 continues to weave manufacturing considerations into  the design process. Now you can spend more time creating amazing designs, and less time managing manufacturing specifications.
 
 

New Harness Design Capabilities

Harness Design functionality allows you to create a full wiring harness design, from the individual pin-to-pin connections right through to manufacturing documentation.


Multi-board support In MCAD CoDesigner

You are now able to transfer and sync your muli-board designs with your mechanical team using the MCAD CoDesigner.

 
 

New Extension For Power Integrity Analysis
Quickly assess the integrity of your power distribution network without the need for any specialized training with Power Analyzer by Keysight.

Altium 365®


The Altium 365 design platform unites PCB design, MCAD, data management, and teamwork. Share the real-time state of projects with team members, manufacturers, and even customers to review and mark up your designs without ever leaving your design space. Innovative component management features ensure that designs are based on the real-time lifecycle insights.
 
 
Watch out What’s New in Altium 365 webinar to learn about updates and new features of the platform.

Who is it for? The webinar is open to all users and anyone interested in learning about Altium 365 updates.

Simulation Improvements


With the Altium Designer SPICE simulation tool, you can easily simulate your designs and keep track of your results, all in one place. With Altium Designer 22, we’ve improved our simulation tools by making it easier to view circuit quality and stability.
 
 
Measure Circuit Quality With Ease

The SPICE simulation tools in Altium Designer now includes Monte Carlo analysis in an easy-to-read histogram display as well as a point-to-point plot generated from measured values.

 
 
Control Circuit Stability with Sensitivity Analysis

Understanding circuit sensitivity is a critical part of the design process. Some components can have a bigger impact on circuit output characteristics. Sensitivity analysis allows you to determine which components will meet your design objectives while retaining appropriate circuit stability.

The Most Connected Experience for 
PCB Design & Realization
 
Any Angle Routing

Editing traces to improve signal integrity can be time-consuming, especially when you have to edit individual arcs and serpentine tunings. This is why Altium Designer 20 incorporates a new gloss engine and advanced push and shove capabilities to help speed up this process so you can improve your productivity. 

 
 
Schematic Rendering

A smooth and fast schematic experience awaits thanks to DirectX in Altium Designer. This new implementation smoothes out zooming, panning even dramatically speeds up copy and paste functionality.   


 
 
Return Path Checking

High-speed signals create electromagnetic fields that can cause cross talk, data errors or be radiated unless proper return paths are provided. Proper return paths allow noise currents to return to the ground through a very low impedance, eliminating the problems. Altium Designer 20 will monitor return paths and check the return path integrity of all reference polygons so that you won’t have to manually do it.

 
 
Creepage Voltage Rule

In high voltage circuits creepage can be a problem, causing leakage current that can jeopardize your design. Altium Designer 20 has new features that can help you avoid creepage. 

 
 
Time Based Matched Lengths

High-speed digital circuits depend on signals and data arriving on time. If traces are improperly tuned, flight times vary and data errors can be abundant. Altium Designer 20 calculates the propagation time on traces and provides synchronized flight time for high-speed digital signals.

 
 
Interactive Properties Panel

Have complete clarity to design objects and functions with the updated properties panel. View pertinent properties, supplier info, and even life-cycle info all in real-time.   

Perpetual License

Altium Designer can also be purchased as a perpetual license. Single seat, unlimited term licenses of any product types. The perpetual license comes with one year of subscription.
