Atrium PCB design content

Altium Limited has released PCB design content for Altium Designer users supporting the FTDI FT800 family of HMI solutions.

The FT800 family, with its EVE (embedded video engine) technology, combines display, audio and touch in a single chip. The optimised solution reduces board area, power and BOM requirements, making it a suitable solution for HMI.

By releasing board design content to support the FTDI FT800 family, Altium eliminates the need for engineers to spend time developing and validating PCB footprints, schematic symbols and 3D component bodies for the FTDI components. The content release includes live supply chain solutions providing an accurate picture of overall project BOM cost and assisting in sourcing the components quickly.

With the need to keep up with ever-reducing design cycle times, Altium Designer subscriber customers can access the company’s extensive Content Vault which includes board design support for more than 140,000 components from vendors such as Linear Technology, Analog Devices, Texas Instruments, Microchip, Maxim and more.

Altium maintains board design libraries for all FTDI device families.
