32 Flavors of PCB Software

Altium Brings the Goods to Makers, Startups, and Engineers Alike

Buying PCB software can be a lot like purchasing a new car. Once you’ve got the full set of amenities that you’ve always wanted (don’t forget the TruCoat!), you’re about ready to take out a second mortgage on your house. PCB design software does not have to break the bank or cause ruffled feathers during your next budget review. In this week’s Fish Fry, we examine the multiple flavors of Altium’s PCB tool suites packages — all the bells and whistles, price points, and more with Sam Sattel, PCB rockstar from Altium. Also this week, we check out iSkin –  the newest research in wearable technology coming out of the Embodied Interaction Group in Germany. You won’t want to miss it!

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
