Altium Designer v14.2.5 Build 32823 + Bonus | 3.5 GB
Altium Designer provides a unified electronic product development environment, catering for all aspects of the electronic development process, including:
- Front-end design and capture
- Physical PCB design
- FPGA hardware design
- FPGA system implementation and debugging (when working with a suitable FPGA development board, such as an Altium NanoBoard)
- Embedded software development
- Mixed-signal circuit simulation
- Signal integrity analysis
- PCB manufacturing
Altium Designer includes all the editors and software engines needed to perform all aspects of the electronic product development process. All document editing, compiling and processing is performed within the Altium Designer environment. Altium Designer also interfaces seamlessly to supporting tools, such as FPGA vendor place and route software, or 3rd party HDL simulation and synthesis software. Underlying Altium Designer is The Design Explorer (DXP) Integration Platform, which brings together Altium Designer's various editors and software engines and provides a consistent user-interface across all the tools and editors. The exact set of features and functionality that is available will depend on the specific license that has been purchased. The Altium Designer environment is fully customizable, allowing you to set up the workspace to suit the way you work. A consistent selection and editing paradigm across different editors allows you to easily and smoothly switch between various design tasks within the Altium Designer environment.
As every engineer knows, developing an electronics product is a highly detailed and multi-stepped process. From the idea on the back of the envelope through to the working board ready to drop into its housing, there are many tasks to complete and many opportunities to blow the project timeline and budget. On top of this, the engineer must remain up-to-date with technology. It is only by utilizing the most appropriate technology in their designs can they remain competitive and contribute to the success of their company.
Altium Designer presents the hardware engineer, the embedded software developer, and the experienced FPGA engineer a genuine opportunity to perform embedded system design in an FPGA, moving it from an inaccessible dream to an achievable reality. This article presents a discussion of how this process might unfold.
