Altium Designer 16.0.5 Build 271
This new Altium Designer release continues to deliver new features as well as enhancements to the software\’s core technologies, while also addressing many issues raised by customers through the AltiumLive Community\’s BugCrunch system. Along with delivering a range of new and exciting features that develop and mature the existing technologies – it also incorporates a large number of fixes and enhancements across the software as a whole, helping designers continue to create cutting-edge electronics technology.
STRENGTHENED SUPPORT FOR HIGH-SPEED DESIGN
Designs 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. 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.
In Altium Designer, a signal path that includes multiple nets and series components can be defined as an extended Signal, called an xSignal, which can then be targeted by high speed design rules. 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. 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. Improvements to differential pair length tuning also allows faster and more accurate between-pair and within-pair length matching.
Technology Aware xSignals Wizard
The enhanced xSignals Wizard guides you though the process of creating xSignals for Interface, Memory and Custom Circuits. 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.
Managing Pin-Package Delays
An important element in routing a high-speed design is matching lengths. Altium Designer introduces support for including the pin-package delay in the length calculations, when xSignals are used.
