Fasten your seatbelts and check out what’s in Altium Designer 6
Altium Designer 6* brings a host of new and enhanced features to improve PCB and FPGA design productivity. This release includes a mix of major new features and technologies, combined with numerous smaller enhancements. Many of the enhancements are based on feedback from our users, the engineers and designers developing electronic products in Altium Designer.
Physical platform design has been upgraded to support the high board densities and high-speed signaling found in today’s designs. Differential pair, smart connection and BGA escape routing, backed up by pin/part swapping with dynamic net assignment brings a new level of power to the routing process.
Programmable design support has been extended, with increased programmable device and processor coverage, and higher levels of physical-level integration. Support for all boundary-scan devices on your board, combined with the enhanced real-time JTAG Device Viewer gives you pin state monitoring, right down on the running board. The new configurable 8 to 64-bit Logic Analyzer (LAX), with it’s built in multiplexer and code disassembly capabilities greatly enhances the FPGA design process.
With this release it is also significantly easier to integrate Altium Designer with company engineering and business management systems commonly found in medium and large-scale organizations. Place components directly from you company database using the new database-driven part libraries, and include database information directly in the bill of materials (BOM).
These are just a few of the new features in what we believe is the most exciting release of Altium Designer yet.
