Design PCBs
Equip engineers with everything needed to design modern, high-performance PCBs.
Everything is in one place, facilitating cross-team collaboration from the first
schematic to the final output.
Unified Design Environment
Bring the entire design process into a connected experience, including: schematics, layout, simulations, documentation, and outputs. This synchronization frees engineers to design the best boards and products.
Rules-Driven PCB Layout
Catch errors as they happen with constraint-checking to enforce electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing rules. Late-stage rework, gone. Instead, engineering aligns with requirements, from stackup to routing.
Built-In Supply Chain Intelligence
Stop switching between design and sourcing tools. Altium provides availability, pricing, lifecycle, and compliance data within a shared workspace. Procurement makes confident part decisions without slowing down.
Key Capabilities
Native Wire Bonding for Chip-on-Board Layouts
Design chip-on-board layouts with confidence using native wire-bonding capabilities. Validate designs in 3D, manage multiple bond wire tiers, and generate outputs that include all necessary mechanical and manufacturing information.
HDI & High-Speed Layout Techniques
Create power-efficient designs with integrated support for high-density interconnect (HDI) and high-speed layout techniques. Altium offers for length tuning, impedance control, and microvia planning ensure signal integrity and layout reliability.
3D-MID Design Combining Mechanical & Electrical
Easily design molded interconnect devices (MID) that combine mechanical and electrical functionality in a 3D structure. Visualize, route, and validate 3D-MID layouts, for compact form factors designed in partnership between electrical, mechanical and simulation engineers.
Unified Multiboard & Harness Design
Designing systems with multiple boards and cable assemblies is error-prone. Unify multiboard and harness design in a single environment so the team can manage connectivity, visualize mechanical fit, and generate harness documentation.
Visualize Stacks with a Powerful Layer Stack Manager
Design any type of PCB stackup with confidence using a powerful layer stackup editor. Configure rigid-flex, impedance-controlled, and multi-region stackups with integrated constraint support and manufacturing validation.
Reshape Board Designs So Your Layouts Can Fold & Flex
Build designs that fold and flex with ease using dedicated tools for flex and rigid-flex layouts. Validate bends in 3D, configure stackup zones, and ensure manufacturability without limitations or additional licenses.
Collaborate in One Platform & Unify Your Design Environment
Manage schematics, layout, constraints, and outputs in a single synchronized environment accessible to all stakeholders. Altium eliminates the need to switch between tools and sync external data across sub-teams, so your unified team can stay focused on delivering great products.
Bring Supply Chain Data to Your BOM In Your Design Tool
Stay ahead of supply chain disruptions with real-time part data on availability, pricing, and lifecycle status. As designs and sourcing options shift, see changes within your design portal and help BOM managers avoid costly surprises.
Rule-driven Interactive Routing for High-density Designs
Speed layout with rule-driven routing tools that support high-density designs and complex constraints. Altium enables interactive push-and-shove, differential pair, or curved trace routing, reducing manual cleanup.
SPICE Simulation: Validate and Verify in Your Schematic
Simulate analog and digital circuits directly from your schematic using built-in SPICE engines. Simulation engineers quickly validate circuit performance, explore what-if scenarios, and catch design issues before layout begins.
Create Reliable Manufacturing Deliverables More Quickly
Deliver designs to manufacturing faster with configurable templates and automated OutputJobs. From assembly drawings to fabrication files, simplify outputs so teams can move in unison to production, without repetitive setup or manual exports.
