Altium Capabilities
for a Modern PCB Design Engineer
Model High-Speed
Signal Paths
Accurately
Model high-speed signal paths as xSignals to drive timing, length, and delay constraints across devices. Make the rules you write match the physics your nets really experience.
Tune Lengths
Interactively in Real Time
Tune single-ended and differential lengths interactively with immediate feedback. Lock in matches and delays as you route, instead of running post-hoc correction loops.
Build Any Stackup with
Confidence
Enforce impedance targets with profiles tied to the Layer Stack Manager. Translate stackup intent into practical widths and clearances that routers and checks actually obey.
Catch Errors Instantly
with Live DRC
See violations as they happen with continuous DRC, preventing late surprises and keeping layouts within spec, even under tight schedules.
Accelerate Routing with
Intelligent Automation
Route faster with push-and-shove and intelligent obstacle avoidance that hugs traces, respects rules, and keeps you in the flow instead of fighting DRCs or nudging geometry by hand.
Route Differential Pairs
with Precision
Apply differential-pair routing and tuning to maintain coupling and balance. Minimize EMI and skew while meeting high-speed requirements without spreadsheet gymnastics.
Polish Routes Quickly
for Clean Results
Optimize differential routing in high-speed designs. Clean routes in seconds with glossing and retrace to smooth corners. Reduce segments. Improve pad entries automatically. Deliver professional results without manual cleanup.
Route HDI Layouts with
Ease
Streamline dense, multilayer layouts with automated fan-outs and via-in-pad. Maintain signal integrity and rule compliance while routing high-density interconnects quickly and cleanly.
Anticipate Risks with the Latest Part Data
Stay ahead of supply chain disruptions with up-to-date part data on availability, pricing, and lifecycle status. As designs and sourcing options shift, see changes within your design portal and avoid costly surprises.
Reduce Shortages with
Proactive Part Alerts
Get alerts on parts, such as availability and pricing, from your selected suppliers. Specify pin-compatible backup parts directly in the BOM to reduce the risk of shortages during manufacturing.
Resolve Component
Issues Before They
Escalate
Efficiently identify and resolve PCB component issues, track usage, and manage obsolescence. Sustain your electronic designs for longer by keeping them aligned to requirements, BOMs, mechanical designs, and manufacturing plans.
Collaborate Seamlessly
with Procurement
Streamline BOM management with data-driven analysis and seamless collaboration between engineering and procurement teams. Automatically enrich BOMs with up-to-date supply chain data.
Track Every Stakeholder
Review with Ease
Track every stakeholder’s input in a centralized electronics design review workflow.
Standardize Reviews
with Flexible Templates
Use suggested design review templates and checklists, or customize your own review process based on the purpose and participants.
Collaborate Clearly with
In-Context Feedback
View comments and tasks in context at every stage of each project. Stay aligned and streamline collaboration.
Review Designs
Anytime, Anywhere,
Any Device
Innovate together through browser-based access, no ECAD or additional software required. External partners, manufacturers, and non-technical stakeholders can collaborate for free – easily reviewing, commenting, and approving from any device.
