Protel was the first readily available circuit design tool to make the jump to Windows.
In August of 1999, Altium (then Protel) became a public company. An initial public offering (IPO) is the first sale of a corporations common shares to public investors. ...
Protel 2004 was renamed after service pack 3 "Altium Designer" - sold as "the world's first truly unified electronics product development package." Its primary selling point is that unlike most specialized industry tools, it covers the design process from beginning to end, including:
- Library Management (both discrete and database driven)
- Document management (including Version Control Integration and visual document merging)
- Design reuse through snippets and templates
- Schematic Capture with electrical rule checking
- SPICE3F5, XSPICE mixed-mode circuit simulation with PSPICE syntax/model support
- Engineering Change Order
- Full forward/back annotation capabilities
- Comprehensive PCB design editor (32 signal, 16 plane, 16 mech layers + keepouts etc.)
- Unlimited Topological Autorouter with fully customizable routing rules and strategies
- Interactive and automatic pin and part swapping to optimize PCB nets
- Forward/Back annotation between PCB and FPGA design projects
- Complete FPGA/CPLD synthesis, simulation and design flow
- Libraries of royalty-free FPGA IP Cores including peripherals and 8/32-bit CPU cores
- Full Embedded software development for supported FPGA CPU's and certain discrete CPU families
- Source and register level debugging of embedded processors and simulation of code
- FPGA-based Instruments for live verification (simulators cannot always be trusted, both forms of verification are necessary)
Schematic capture or schematic entry is a step in the design cycle of electronic design automation at which the electronic diagram, or schematic of the designed electronic circuit is created by a designer. ...
