Moving to advanced design abstraction

Implementing higher levels of design abstraction allows design engineers to minimize the time wasted on creating familiar hardware that does not add market value to a product.

Over 100 complimentary training videos available

Altium provides over 100 complimentary short, sharp training videos each designed to help you get the most out of Altium Designer.

Setting new heights – Cessna Aircraft Company

Cessna adopts Altium Designer as the most efficient and capable electronic product design system for developing its aircraft electronics.

IN THE WORKSHOP

  • Tuning Net Lengths Interactively
    Ensuring that critical signals arrive at the same time requires their routed net lengths to be the same. The new interactive net length tuning feature makes this a simple and straight forward process.
  • OrCAD users consider the future
    Recent changes in the OrCAD® product lineup mean that users may want to consider their future needs in a rapidly-evolving industry. Read how successfully moving to a new design system means considering a number of crucial issues.

To gather a surprisingly effective snapshot of today’s electronics design you need look no further than the nearest geared-up teenager.

Amongst the attached electronic paraphernalia of ‘essential’ technology will be a fine example of the complex relationship between technology and consumer demand, in the humble guise of a portable music player. Of course there are far more sophisticated and complex products produced by engineering teams every day, but it’s the mix of influencing factors that go into the design of this type of device that has a profound impact on mainstream electronic design.

Cessna, the world's largest manufacturer of general aviation airplanes, standardizes on Altium Designer to aid in the design and development of electronics systems for their global fleet of aircraft.

"Cessna carefully evaluated the cost, features and benefits of many electronic product development options. Through this process, we determined Altium Designer’s single unified design environment would be the most appropriate solution for our current business model. With our implementation strategy, we see several immediate advantages in terms of design flow efficiency that are right in line with our lean initiatives." Tim Zimmerman, Supervisor of Electronics Development, Cessna Aircraft Company. To discover more Altium customers using our technology click More...
