Altium Designer 22 has features to help designers source component availability, capabilities to reduce manual design tasks, and real-time lifecycle management tools used in conjunction with Altium 365.
Parts Insight Experience provides supply chain intelligence directly within design experience; advanced board design capabilities that allow designers to create complex designs and prepare them for fabrication; enhanced SPICE simulation tools enabled with Monte Carlo analysis to measure circuit quality; real-time lifecycle management with Altium 365. Part Insights Experience delivers real-time supply chain intelligence directly in the design environment so information about component specs, lifecycle, and availability is always available. Supply information, fueled by BOM tools and integrations from Octopart and IHS Markit databases, aggregates data from more than 300 distributors and more than one billion parts. Suggests alternative parts. Capabilities include PCB technology awareness modeling to optimize designs for complex boards; enhanced intelligent routing to reduce manual routing time; improved solder paste specifications to help avoid fabrication bottlenecks; circuit sensitivity analysis to understand circuit output characteristics.
