Quick and to-the-point video tutorials to get you started with Altium Designer. With the release of Altium Designer 10, components are now delivered through the Altium Vault and accessed for placement during design-time via Altium Designer's Vault Explorer panel. Vault-based components deliver another level of unification, not only do they include all models, they also include up-to-date supply chain information. For the latest information on what components are available in the Vaults, including descriptions of all device families, check out the section of the. As well as access to the Vault-based components, you can also download an up-to-date Integrated Library of each available component family from the, look for the link on the left when you're reading about a component family.
This plugin installs the following base set of integrated libraries for use in board-level designs: • Library Miscellaneous Connectors.IntLib • Library Miscellaneous Devices.IntLib • Library Xilinx Xilinx Spartan-3AN.IntLib • Library Altera Altera Cyclone III.IntLib • Library Lattice Lattice FPGA ECP2.IntLib Miscellaneous Connectors.IntLib and Miscellaneous Devices.IntLib are.
For those designers who need off-line access to components, Integrated component Libraries can be downloaded using the links below. Either download all libraries in a single ZIP, or pick the specific Manufacturer you need.
This plugin installs the following base set of integrated libraries for use in board-level designs:. Library Miscellaneous Connectors.IntLib. Library Miscellaneous Devices.IntLib. Library Xilinx Xilinx Spartan-3AN.IntLib. Library Altera Altera Cyclone III.IntLib.
Library Lattice Lattice FPGA ECP2.IntLib Miscellaneous Connectors.IntLib and Miscellaneous Devices.IntLib are primarily included in support of various reference design examples that utilize the symbols and footprints therein. The three FPGA vendor libraries are primarily included in support of the devices used on the various flavors of 3000-series NanoBoard:. NanoBoard 3000XN – Xilinx variant, incorporating a Xilinx Spartan-3AN device (XC3S1400AN-4FGG676C) as the User FPGA. NanoBoard 3000AL – Altera variant: incorporating an Altera Cyclone III device (EP3C40F780C8N) as the User FPGA. NanoBoard 3000LC – Lattice variant: incorporating a LatticeECP2 device (LFE2-35SE-5FN672C) as the User FPGA. Thus equipping you with the symbols and footprints necessary, should you desire to move a design targeting a device on one of these NanoBoards, to a design targeting the same device on your own production board. The two Miscellaneous libraries are added to the list of available installed libraries for the system by default.
As such, they are readily available from Altium Designer's Libraries panel. Add the Vendor-related libraries to this list, as and when required, directly from within the panel, either as project libraries, installed libraries, or libraries to be found along specified search paths. Additional board design integrated libraries from a range of manufacturers can be found on the page of the Altium Wiki.
Vault-based components are available from the Altium Hobart Vault – a Managed Vault available as part of AltiumLive Vault Services and accessible from the page of the AltiumLive community website. This vault contains a collection of vault-based library components, for a range of manufacturers, developed by the Hobart Content Development Center, for use by Subscriber Plan members of the community. Components are linked to vault-based models (SCH, PCB, Sim) and include defined Part Choices, providing live on-demand supply-chain information. See Also:. Important!
