My Favorite Tools for BOM Review
Getting caught with unsourceable components in a BOM is more common than you might think. Even with all the real-time supply chain tools provided in EDA software, designers can still get to the stage where they need to place an order, only to find parts are suddenly out of stock. A related issue is obsolescence, where parts suddenly go into EOL (end-of-life) or become obsolete without any notice from the manufacturer. If these events happen, you

Best Practices in BOM Management for Pro PCB Designers
Let's be honest, one of the biggest marketing buzzwords in electronics procurement is BOM management. Depending on who you're talking to, it means a lot of things and nothing simultaneously. How does one term become so ubiquitous and yet produce so little actionable advice? I think the reason this happens is that managers don't implement actual processes for BOM management, and design teams don't realize they can leverage their tools to implement

Multi-CAD Engineering: Top 6 Challenges
In an ideal scenario, every engineer, manufacturer, contractor, and customer would utilize the same CAD system, simplifying collaboration efforts significantly. However, the reality of product design is far from this ideal. Various companies opt for different ECAD systems, requiring accommodating this as part of electronics product development. Even within a single organization, it's common to find different departments or divisions employing

PCB Footprint Creation and Reuse with Altium 365
Many components come in standardized packages, but not all component manufacturers provide CAD models and schematic symbols in their PCB libraries. These CAD models show the location of pins, silkscreen information, centroids, and pads as they should appear in your PCB layout. PCB component creation can get repetitive when you need to apply an existing PCB footprint to a new component. With the component creation tools in Altium Designer and the
