This article was written by Nolan Johnson with PCB007. Original source

I recently spoke with Lawrence Romine, VP of corporate marketing at Altium, about what he thinks design customers need to know and the importance of education and communication between designers and manufacturers.

Nolan Johnson: Given what Altium is working on and developing and what you're hearing from your customers about the cloud, etc., look at the next 12–24 months. What do your design customers need to learn and know to be successful in the future?

Lawrence Romine: That's an…

AltiumLive Frankfurt 2019: Carl Schattke Keynote

Dec 20, 2019

“How many here can remember manually taped artworks?” No more than three hands were raised in an audience of over 230 at the AltiumLive 2019 European PCB Design Summit in Frankfurt, Germany, as IPC Advanced Certified Interconnect Designer Carl Schattke introduced his keynote, entitled “Making and Breaking the Rules.”

Carl Shattke

Schattke had learned PCB layout as his father’s apprentice, hand-taping several hundred PCB designs in the 1970s and 1980s before becoming a CAD user with a Protel system—the precursor of Altium. He also ran a design bureaux , starting up a company designing acceleration systems for computer…

Altium Routes Path to Future of PCB Design with Altium Designer 20

Dec 11, 2019

Today Altium launched the next evolution of easy, modern and powerful PCB design software: Altium Designer 20. Spanning more than two decades of electronic design innovation, Altium Designer 20 improves the design experience with a faster schematic editor, high-speed design and enhanced interactive router capabilities enabling faster board design.

“Most of my design time is spent on routing. The new routing capability in AD20 will save me at least 40% of design time,” said Mark Ross, an Electronics Designer at Progressive Dynamics, Inc. “If I was not already an Altium Designer user, I'd switch just for the new routing capability."

New and advanced capabilities include:

Best in class interactive routing - new “push & shove’’…

The Direction of PCB Design with Lee Ritchey

Dec 02, 2019

I-Connect007 editors Andy Shaughnessy and Nolan Johnson recently spoke with Lee Ritchey of Speeding Edge about the direction of PCB design. Lee also discusses some of the changes that he has seen in this industry over the past 40 years and some of the technological drivers that are causing designers to think more like electrical engineers than ever before.

Lee Ritchey Speaking

Andy Shaughnessy: Lee, can you start with a 30,000-foot view of the PCB design? You said you have an example of how drastically speeds have increased in the last 25 years.

Lee Ritchey: When I…

AltiumLive Frankfurt 2019: Rick Hartley Keynote

Nov 26, 2019

Introduced by Lawrence Romine, Altium’s VP of corporate marketing, as a “low impedance presenter with a passion for his topic,” Rick Hartley delivered the opening keynote at the AltiumLive 2019 European PCB Design Summit in Frankfurt, Germany. His inspirational, relaxed style—founded on the wisdom of 50 years of experience in printed circuit design and his expertise in resolving noise, electromagnetic interference, and signal integrity issues—encouraged the packed audience to listen, observe, and understand.

“Now the learning begins!” Hartley recalled his first couple of years after graduation when he was able to get by on what he had learned in college, although it became increasingly apparent that there were things he didn’t understand. He had been accumulating knowledge ever…

PCB Design Company ExpressPCB Announces Upgrades

Nov 19, 2019

ExpressPCB is excited to announce several enhancements to its ExpressPCB Plus Layout Software. These upgrades to the Plus software will allow our customers to continue designing their next project with greater success. New finer pitch parameters are now available in version 2.0 allowing 5 mil trace and space routing, 6 mil finished vias (10 mil drilled holes) and up to 6 copper layers. In addition, we have removed the size/shape constraint on our popular Miniboard Plus products, no longer are you restricted to a 2.5” x 3.8” rectangle. The new Miniboard parameters will allow you to build almost any shape up to 10 square inches per board (some restrictions apply).

“As the electronic industry heads towards tighter pitch components, smaller and faster processors and shrinking…
