Engineers have been designing PCBs for a long time. As components get smaller and more integrated, and a frequencies increase, the complexities increase exponentially. The tools are generally keeping pace, but that doesn’t make them any easier to use.

We also chatted briefly about the company’s annual conference, Altium Live, that teaches designers the ins and outs of PCB design.
