Altium Designer has a set of tools to help you work on such designs. This makes high speed feature design so tricky. In such a case, the signal reflecting back to the source can damage the original data. So fast, in fact, that before the signal can even travel along the trace and reach the pin, the transition is complete. This happens when the circuit includes elements that switch their states too rapidly. High Speed designing comes into the picture when the dimensional and physical parameters of the PCB start affecting the performance of the electronics and the signal integrity. Some features are lacking as compared to Designer, but that can be expected given the price difference. The team collaboration features in Upverter also work in real-time, and since the entire program is browser-based, the work stays in sync over the internet. This platform is highly secure and you don’t have to worry about anything while using it. This makes it easier to debug the design.įurther, Designer provides a centralized communication center, where everyone can share files, information, and keep a track of all the communication. Furthermore, it displays a log containing all the edits made and the user who made them. In Altium Designer, you get an integrated work environment which syncs all the edits between all team members in real-time. This improves the productivity and efficiency of working and the results are a faster output, with fewer errors and innovative ideas.īoth Altium Designer and Upverter have features for team collaboration. Upverter has an integrated BOM manager, which is somewhat limited in capability and functionality compared to Designer, but for a free program, it works well.Ĭertain projects require many people to form a team and work on different aspects of the project simultaneously. This helps in ensuring that there are no part supply or budget related issues later on in the process. The active supply chain management system works in sync with ActiveBOM and takes care of all your part related issues.ĭetails such as part availability, supply, pricing, manufacturer info and more, is obtained by the system based on the parts you have used in your design. It provides a complete set of tools and solutions such as part detail collection and dynamic updates for the BOM as you make changes to the design.įurthermore, this feature obtains real-time pricing of the components being used and edits the pricing in the document accordingly.

With ActiveBOM from Altium Designer, you get a powerful BOM (Bill of Material) generation and management system. There are potentially many issues that can arise during the fabrication, and Altium has features to help you avoid those. Try Altium Designer Bill of Material Toolsĭesigners all over the world pay attention to every single detail in their design in order to ensure that the production and assembly processes go smoothly.
