Altium Strengthens Support for High-Speed, High-Density Designs
(Interviews, 25 Mar 2007 )
Altium Limited has announced the addition of a raft of new productivity-enhancing features for its Altium Designer unified electronics development system to assist engineers with handling high-speed design issues resulting from the fast changing nature of today's mainstream board-level design and its convergence with the wider electronics development process.
"Mainstream engineers face a completely new set of problems that cannot be solved with design methodologies that were developed to deal with discrete devices and separate design flows. And while the challenges associated with high-end programmable device integration and high-speed PCB design are well-acknowledged, most EDA vendors have treated the technology solutions as a premium area," commented Nick Martin, Founder and CEO, Altium Limited. "However, with sophisticated electronics device technology finding its way into everyday design projects, all designers now need access to tools that tackle the proliferation of challenges these converging forces present. More importantly they need access to intelligent solutions that are easy to use without the need to re-skill or purchase additional high-cost tools. These are the barriers we're committed to breaking down with our ongoing development of Altium Designer."
