What is Altium Designer?
Altium designer is a PCB schematic design and layout tool, which is used to make component libraries and custom footprints, when they are not available from the manufacturer or the suppliers website. Altium even lets the user import custom made CAD files of the component, which can later be simulated to conduct thermal, electrical and RF tests.
Altium Designer even has a built in SPICE simulation tool which rivals stand alone softwares in the same class. This SPICE simulation is used to conduct stability, power dissipation, impedance matching and power transfer analysis of the circuit which will be laid out later. This lets the design team save considerable money when developmental tests cannot be performed on these circuits.
Altium designer is good not only because it gives the designer tools to help his PCB design process easier but it also comes with built in solutions which include videos, documentation and webinars, which pop-up and are available on the home page when the user enters.
Altium design software requires a licence to operate and can be bought for a monthly fee of 20,250 rupees or a perpetually for rupees 600,000.
