Altium Designer is one of the most popular of the high end PCB design software packages on
the market today. It is developed and marketed by Altium Limited. Including a schematic, PCB
module, and an auto-router and differential pair routing features, it supports track length
tuning and 3D modelling.
Altium Designer includes tools for all circuit design tasks: from schematic and HDL design
capture, circuit simulation, signal integrity analysis, PCB design, and FPGA-based embedded
system design and development. In addition, the Altium Designer environment can be
customized to meet a wide variety of users' requirements.
When you select All Programs > Altium Designer from the Windows Start menu to run Altium
Designer, you are actually launching DXP.EXE. The DXP platform underlies Altium Designer,
supporting each of the editors that you use to create your design.
To design a printed circuit board you need to create a schematic to drive the layout. At one
time this meant drawing circuits using a drafting table or even on the back of an envelope, but
electronic design today requires a much higher level of communication between the tools that
are used.
The symbols you place on the schematic need to be loaded with data that will drive bill of
materials reports for PCB manufacturing, as well as being able to connect with part vendors for
current pricing and availability. These parts also need the physical attributes within them to
drive the layout in addition to the logical attributes embedded in them for simulators and signal
integrity tools.
Creating a schematic is no longer a casual affair and requires a robust set of design tools that
can accomplish all of these tasks.
We have to create foot prints to every device on the schematic diagram, to create a foot prints:
• Go to schematic ® Right down there is option (foot print) ® Put it as any ® copy the
name of the connector ® place it a new foot print design and check the distance exactly
as per data sheet to every component in the schematic
• For PCB board the hole should greater than the device pin size
• The distance between poles should be equal
• We must check the capacitors size to fit for the PCB
Measure the distance of the connector should be equal between the pins = 100 mils = 2.54 mm
Measure the distance between the ports ® reports ® measure distance ® exactly for PCB
Result:
Hence I have verified how to design a PCB in Altium Software of Analog to digital convertor and
Digital to Analog convertor
