While the powerful, keyword-driven scoping system remains available, Altium Designer 16 sees the introduction of a carefully selected range of dropdown options for each rule type. Acknowledging that the bulk of the rules that the designer needs to define follow consistent requirements - such as applying to this net class, on that layer - the rule scoping system has been greatly simplified. Altium Designer is well regarded for its powerful and highly configurable rule scoping system. Simplified Design Specification and Verificationĭesign rules are the backbone of the board design process. As well as the original Custom Multi-Component Interconnect mode the Wizard now supports DDR3/DDR4 memory, with support for other interface standards planned for future updates. The enhanced xSignals Wizard guides you though the process of creating xSignals for Interface, Memory and Custom Circuits. Improvements to differential pair length tuning also allows faster and more accurate between-pair and within-pair length matching. The intelligent xSignals wizard, which can quickly detect and define a large number of xSignals under user-guidance, sees the introduction of heuristics to support xSignal creation for the DDR3/DDR4 interface standard, with support for other interface types in the pipeline. The signal delay created by the devices themselves, often referred to as the pin/package delay, can now be accounted for in the overall xSignal length. In Altium Designer, a signal path that includes multiple nets and series components can be defined as an e xtended Signal, called an xSignal, which can then be targeted by high speed design rules. Acknowledging the growing need for strong support for high speed design, Altium Designer 16 brings a number of important improvements to the definition and routing of high speed signals. Strengthened Support for High-Speed Designĭesigns with high speed signals are becoming more and more common, driven by both improvements in device technology and the ongoing demand for better product performance. Alternatively, have both installed side-by-side, and use the version that best suits your needs. You have the choice to continue with your current version, or to install Altium Designer 16.0 to access the latest features. It is not possible to update to Altium Designer 16 from an earlier version, a new installation is required.
