Why Choose Altium Designer

Altium Designer combines hardware, software and programmable design in one application

Pricing & Options

We chose Altium Designer because we need to produce prototypes rapidly and without fuss. Prototypes that once took a month to complete are now finished in half that time.

Key Benefits

  • See what you get, get what you see – design in a real-time 3D PCB environment that is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced
  • Get routing done faster with a new interactive engine, featuring guided path finding, trace and via push-and-shove, trace hugging, and intelligent auto-complete
  • Automatically route differential pairs and multi-trace blocks (buses) in one action
  • Real-time 3D mechanical interference checking – fit the board to its enclosure without guesswork
  • Save time by interactively swapping pins and parts as you route
  • Panelize PCBs directly in the PCB editor to bridge the gap between design and manufacture
  • Take control of outputs and publish direct to print, navigable PDF or the web from one central panel
  • Get real-time data from parts suppliers by linking your components direct to online supplier databases
  • Document and control the management of releases with the Wizard-based Design Release Manager
  • Easily create and share reusable design elements, from simple bits of circuitry to complete schematic sets
  • Wire up designs faster and more logically with intelligent bus connectivity within and between sheets
  • Create and define full via stackups for more design flexibility
  • Manage components more effectively with database-hosted and integrated component libraries
  • Find anything in your project easily with fast and flexible design navigation and display features
  • Cater for legacy designs with new file importers and exporters, including Allegro and Zuken CADStar
  • Develop complete embedded systems the easy way in a unified PCB-FPGA-software co-design
  • Harness the power of FPGAs with your existing skills –  no HDL knowledge or experience required for System-on-FPGA design
  • Convert C code direct to hardware during system development to accelerate application execution
