Define Schematic Design

Schematic design is the first step in the PCB design process. It’s where your ideas are put onto paper and the electronic device in your mind first begins to take shape. Until recently, schematic capture has been completed independently of other PCB design processes. But Altium Designer is changing things with schematic capture that goes far beyond traditional PCB design approaches.

Altium Designer 18 ia an all-in-one PCB design solution boasting tools, editors and features that allow you to create PCBs of any complexity with ease and efficiency. Altium’s single data model automatically links your schematic level design to the other areas of the PCB design, eliminating synchronization issues because there is only one central area of design data. For you, that means you can save time and enjoy a smooth, error-free design process.

Altium Designer 18 includes these key design features:

A Robust Layer Stack Manager with built-in impedance calculator

Advanced Design Rule Checker

Visual Power Analysis with PDN Analyzer

Interconnected Multi-Board Assembly

User-guided, constraints driven routing with ActiveRoute®

Seamless Documentation Process with OutJobs, Draftsman® and ACTIVEBOM®
