12 PCB Level Design Advanced Interactive Routing E.g. Auto-complete, push-and-shove, hugging... Multi-track (Bus) routing Differential pair routing Impedance-controlled routing Length tuning For single and differential tracks Graphical comparision of versions Merge resolution view Topological Auto-Routing Finish up your design BGA escape router Copyright 2013 Altium Limited Functional units of AD JK, v

13 Navigation and Highlighting Build-in Navigator Browse through all objectsin a project Easy find capabilities Highlighting Automatic highlighting the objects of interest Copyright 2013 Altium Limited Functional units of AD JK, v

14 PCB in 3D Unique 3D-Mode in PCB-Editor Integrated in PCB layout module Modelling the PCB Create Board-Outline from MCAD-Data Rendered in real-time Full Placement Capabilities User-definable clearance rules Violations shown graphically Real-time constraint checking Copyright 2013 Altium Limited Functional units of AD JK, v

15 PCB Collaboration Multiple Designers working on the same PCB Reducedesign cycle time by 40-70% Utilize local or globally dispersed teams Manage layout and engineering resources with fexibility Simultaneous layout by multiple designers or technical experts Copyright 2013 Altium Limited Functional units of AD JK, v

16 Library Creation Schematic Symbol Creation From data sheet/excel list Footprint Creation IPC compliant Footprint Wizard 3D Model included 3D Extruded/STEP Model Unified Components in Alium Live > Unified Components Copyright 2013 Altium Limited Functional units of AD JK, v

17 Today s Libraries Concepts Type 1: Independent Libraries Type 2: Integrated Libraries Type 3: Database Libraries 5 1 VCC NC 2 A 4 3 Y GND Copyright 2013 Altium Limited Functional units of AD JK, v

18 Next Generation Component Management... Component Libraries Part Choices Copyright 2013 Altium Limited Functional units of AD JK, v

19 Live Supplier Data BOM Generation Live Supplier Links Drag & Drop to Components Automize BOM & Purchase Order generation # Comment Quantity Supplier Manufacturer Part Number Supplier Part Number 1 COAX-F 500 Farnell Approved Notes Copyright 2013 Altium Limited Functional units of AD JK, v

20 Why Data Management Included Tools and Functionality Copyright 2013 Altium Limited Functional units of AD JK, v

21 Version Control System Build in Apache Subversion (SVN) Check out data from Repository All team members can change Only one set of Master Files Fully Integrated in Altium Designer Compare any Files New version generation from Altium Copyright 2013 Altium Limited Functional units of AD JK, v

22 History Management Automatic History Compare two different Versions Revert back to older versions Graphical Visualisation Differences Window Highlighting of changes Copyright 2013 Altium Limited Functional units of AD JK, v

23 Production Data Generation: Output Job Pre-pack your preferred output settings Simplifies the creation of manufacturing files and design documentation Allows all relevant information to be grouped together for output Project and variant driven output generation Copyright 2013 Altium Limited Functional units of AD JK, v

24 Configuration Management Automize Output Generation per Configuration Predefine a set of Output Job to be executed per configuration Different storage places per configuration with or without a Vault Copyright 2013 Altium Limited Functional units of AD JK, v

25 Design and Supply Chain Area Combine Design and Supply Chain Area All involved team members in a company can work with the same tool: Designers, Librarians, Purchaser, Product Managers etc. Even supplierscan use data directly from the Vault. Copyright 2013 Altium Limited Functional units of AD JK, v

26 Altium Vault What does a Vault offer? Storage of data (incl. lifecycle management) Relational database ( where-used functionality) Authentication (AVS, incl. approval processes) Webserver application(avs, access from anywhere) What can be inside? Components (with models, parameters & links to supplier information) Managed Design Content (reusable design data and templates) Released Designs (complete designs for manufacturing) Copyright 2013 Altium Limited Functional units of AD JK, v

27 Vaults The Different Flavors Altium Personal Vault - No Authentication - Vault & Data resides locally All customers under subscription get it Access from Altium Designer Panel Limited to 3 Users Altium Vault Server - Authentication locally - Vault & Data resides locally Sold separately User Identification and controlled access Access from Altium Designer Panel and web browser (Intranet) Copyright 2013 Altium Limited Functional units of AD JK, v Copyright 2013 Altium Limited 27

28 Release & Lifecycle Management Automized Release Data Management Generate ALL necessary files on a push button. All files 100% checked vs. your rules.
