On the dialog's Release Options tab, make sure that the Managed - is selected as the Release Target; Fabrication is assigned to Fabrication Data set, and Assembly is assigned to the Assembly Data set. Because the older, imperial components have big pins with lots of room between them. The capacitors that we used to have on the PCB are now on the IC package. It enables you to screen all nets in a design, against various defined signal integrity rules, in order to quickly identify problematic nets. To simplify the management of layers, make sure that the, To use a material for a specific layer (or pair of layers if symmetry is enabled), click the, Using the image above as a guide, select suitable material for the: Solder Mask, Signal, and Core layers. The image below shows the summary of these two rules, the detail is shown in the images in the following two collapsible sections. Gerber files are configured in the Gerber Setup dialog, accessed via the PCB Editor's File Fabrication Outputs Gerber Files command, or by adding a Gerber output into the Fabrication Outputs section of an Output Job then double-clicking on it. Now that the shape has been defined, you can set the grid to a value suitable for component placement, for example, To configure the default settings for the designator and comment strings, select. To help find a component in both installed and not currently installed libraries, Altium Designer includes a library searching feature. The default Routing Width design rule has been configured. Press Shift+C to clear the measurement results. By default, the software will generate Component classes and Rooms for each schematic sheet, and Net Classes for each bus in the design. Simple animation showing track dragging being used to modify existing routing. The History view can essentially be broken down into three key sections: Click the control at the top-right of the view to access a search field and perform a search of events related to the R1 resistor. In that design, they had both heating and PI issues., PI has become a universal issue, and it dominates design now, he adds. An intermediate database library file (DbLib) presents an external ODBC data source as an Altium component library (each record specifies a component). Why? Hover the cursor over an icon or detail to display a tooltip with more information. This tutorial will help you get started by taking you through the entire process of designing a simple PCB from idea to output files. Another moment of joy for me was the first PCB design that I worked on. The current mode is displayed on the Status Bar. Add additional columns, such as a line number column, to suit the requirements of the assembly house.

Panels that are currently visible are marked with a check in the menu. Using view buttons at the top of the main viewing area, switch between other data views available: PCB (the board in 2D), 3D (the board in 3D), and BOM (Bill of Materials). The Report Manager is a highly configurable report generation engine that can generate output in a variety of formatsincluding text, CSV, PDF, HTML, and Excel. The solder mask is a thin, lacquer-like layer applied to the outer surface of the board, providing a protective and insulating covering for the copper. It's time to create the PCB! A file has been added to version control but not yet committed to the Workspace's VCS repository. There is an option to limit this to 45 and 90 on the. The Violation Details show that the clearance between these two pads is less than 0.25mm;it does not detail the actual clearance. You will now deliberately introduce an error into the circuit and validate the project again: Before you finish this section of the tutorial, let's fix the error in our schematic. Refer to the Including Design Data in the Excel BOM page for details of the available fields. For example, if the rule says the allowable minimum solder mask sliver is 0.25 mm and the actual sliver is 0.24 mm, then the situation is not that bad and you may be able to adjust the rule setting to accept this value. Configure the component information so that it is BOM-ready, including adding additional non-PCB component BOM items, such as the bare board, glue, mounting hardware, and so on. Let's start with the solder mask errors as they are related, and both error conditions may be affected by the changes you make to solder mask settings. The four resistors are now aligned (with the lowest component) and equally spaced. Avoid using the Min and Max settings to define a single rule to suit all sizes required in the entire design. When you are in the right position, a red connection marker (red cross) will appear at the cursor location. Gerber continues to be the most common form of data transfer between board design and board fabrication, with Gerber X2 and ODB++ becoming more and more popular. Access the Share dialog in Altium Designer and check with whom the project is currently shared. The first step is to reduce the allowable sliver width. In this case, select the Save and Commit changes option to save the changes locally and proceed with saving the changes to the Workspace. If there are violations, back to the PCB document and resolve these violations, then generate the report again. To get enough copper in the middle of the board, there were four, one-ounce planes. Alternatively, press the F4 shortcut to hide/display all floating panels. Scroll through the list of error checks and note that they are clustered in groups; each group can be collapsed if required.

The core of the board contained four heavy copper power planes. The stackup for this board is shown in Figure 1. This is important because you cannot place a wire across the bottom of a pin to get to a pin beyond it. Test Point Report as ASCII file, available in 3 formats, that details the location of each pad/via that has been nominated as a testpoint. The Manufacturer Link feature allows you to connect a Workspace part, or a non-Workspace part with supply chain issues, to your preferred manufacturer part. When needed, a panel can be reopened via the button at the bottom right of the application window. Categories are accessed using the drop-down, indicated by number 1 in the image above. Details about the icons and information in each tile are given below. It is these openings that are displayed as objects on the solder mask layer in the PCB editor (note that the solder mask layer is defined in the negative the objects you see become holes in the actual solder mask). Even a mobile device such as a cell phone may have a dozen different supply rails. Altium Designer's Signal Integrity tool can be used to find the optimum drive and slew settings for specific FPGA pins - for example IO pins used as data lines in an FPGA design. The Single Component Editor will open, with the chosen data loaded. Use the right-click menu to enable the Used design rules. It must be a grand feeling to go where no man has gone before, whether that place is a mountain or the moon. Press the 1 shortcut to toggle look-ahead on/off. To simplify the process of positioning the components, you can work with a coarse placement grid, for example, 1mm. The search results region of the panel displays a list of manufacturer parts that wholly or partly match the search criteria. Of course, the selection of track/clearance is ultimately driven by what can be achieved on each design, which comes down to how tightly the components and routing must be packed to get the board placed and routed. Instructional videos provide guidance on how to route different types of signals and common digital protocols in ECAD software. There is a primary or raw source of power that is converted to the final voltage that an IC requires. 0000008025 00000 n
