One of the top challenges of printed circuit board (PCB) design is the guarantee that when selecting a component from a electronic equipment supplier that it is available when you need it for designing. Not having sure knowledge of the components availability can result in delays in the design, a miss of a marketing window, or render a design unproducible. What if ‘live’ supplier data could be added directly to your components providing you with real-time information?
Altium Designer offers the capability of creating and searching for components with the most up-to-date, real-time pricing and availability from certified electronic equipment suppliers. With a direction connection to Supplier web services, you can search for any component across an entire product catalog. This ‘live’ data can then be integrated into your PCB design - at the library design level, during the design process, or at design release time. No more delays on your PCB design.
Benefits of using Altium Designer are too numerous to list, but here are a few:
Real-time BOM Management - latest supplier part information linked to Bill of Materials list with real-time price and availability
Component Placement System - place and drag components that push, avoid, and snap-to other components on your board layout
IPC Compliant Footprint Wizards - generate realistic and data-rich 3D models and get an exact representation in real-time NATIVE 3D
Unified Component Model - integrated library providing a unified component model to be used across the entire design
