Sometimes these NC (No Connect) pins are provided for IC manufacturers to use in factory testing. They may have pull-up and pull-down resistors inside. To use the NC pins, it may be necessary to confirm with the IC manufacturer whether they can be used, otherwise, it may affect signal stability. Additionally, the trace width may vary due to the shape of the PAD, causing the trace width is not smooth.

Very useful. Straight to the point. Thank you.

How is the 3D performance and how well does it handle with complex designs on multiple 4k monitors? I rushed and bought the last gen Intel macbook pro in September 2021 to avoid issues with M series and Altium (as was reported back then by some people). This is my 3rd Intel macbook pro. In a couple of years, would like to upgrade to M series if all the SW issues for EE have been resolved, but looks promising already!

I must confess, never did occur to me to make use of the NC balls. I was thinking of simply pulling some balls from the footprint and simply route underneath them. This seems better, though. As long as you're not unlucky and some NC pins are actually used (as test points, for example) by the manufacturer.

Thanks for the video. As far as i know, impedance depends on the signal's frequency. I've read that Altium assumes a frequency of 1GHz for its calculations, but my signal is 1590MHz. Where do i tell Altium this?

Quick and sharp. Thx

Thanks for making this video! one tip: If you are annoyed by the 'Heads-Up Display' following the mouse cursor, you can move it to the corner and hit Shift-G (Shift-G to move it, Shift-G again to dock it, Shift-H to hide it)

Thanks for making these videos! I'm just commenting to add that after dragging your mouse to select the components, you can type 'TOL' on the PCB side to group by rectangle (shortcut). Even better, if you select components on the SCH one at a time in the order you want to place them (by holding down the SHIFT key), you can type 'TOC' on the PCB side, and they will snap to your mouse cursor one at a time for placement, letting you use your spacebar to rotate before you set it down.

How can you show it even when you are in normal editing mode of the schematic?

Great Video, is there a way to exclude the logo from the sile2silk constraints?

thanks for the tip

Thats great Thank you sir

Sir, is it possible to design FLEX PCB on Altium 17.4??

Thank you so much! You have saved me hours.

Thanks a lot, never even thought about this. Now I will always be aware of it 🙂 czcams.com/video/k9ANAzAe6fA/video.html

Great video! One question: are you assuming the conductor width and via diameter and checking which conductor current values end up being output or is there some calculation behind your choice of width please? Thanks :)

Hello, first of all, thank you very much for these great contributions to your channel. My question is about what is the distance between vias for shielding the RF line to reduce crosstalk? How is the distance between tracks calculated to shield a 4G LTE/NB-IoT RF line and what diameter and hole should the vias be? thank you very much, greetings!

Nice vid Would be helpful if you included the keyboard presses you do as you zip across altium and it would be great to learn the shortcuts.

Can it supply bidirectional power ? I mean if I want to design USB hub and want to charge upstream device and transfer data, can I use it?

Is there any type of filtering required for EMI/EMC. I have designed a microcontroller board , it has many other IC's. its working perfectly. but little problem of EMI/EMC. Is it possible for you to review my PCB ?

Thank you for sharing.

Love it to the point absolutely amazing ! You got one more subscriber.

Very nicely put together and explained, thank you!

Excellent! This question came up in the shop a couple of days ago. I’ll share the information and enlighten the crew. Thank you!

Nice that you show the more advance functions

Awesome videos, your channel is underrated.

Thanks

Thanks for sharing!

nice video!

good video

Great explanation, you deserve a sub!. I never ever realize the meaning behind the marked pin let alone I Don't even notice it 😂

Thanks for your video. It makes sense if the inductor is asymetrical, but surely if you wind up the former from bottom to top and then down again to the bottom you get a fully symetrical inductor where both pins are equivalent. However real coils always have a pin 1 marked - so how do you know ?

Very Nice ,Thank You.

thank you for the clear explanation

Thank you! I will update my PCB asap!

Interesting

I really appreciated your detailed explanation of preparing the PCB Silkscreen. The video was excellent. Is there any possibility of accomplishing the same task using a plugin in KiCAD, instead of updating each footprint individually?

Thanks for the tutorial. I did that and it work, I see the 3D model in 3D view of the footprint, but now, I tried so many steps, saving in another file etc, but I cannot use that component/footprint in my other projects, could you please show a complete workflow of doing so ? It just a few seconds more after when this video ended I suppose.

Thank You Very Much Sir.

Thanks for the video, I'm working on a rigid/flex design and need some help: I need to put some resistors on the flex layer, I've been able to do it, but the silkscreen doesn't transfer to the Flex Overlay, is this possible to do? Do the components need to be made specifically for the internal layer? Also, when I add the flex layers, the Top and Bottom Overlays are no longer visible in the View Configurations Panel, they get replaced with the Flex Top and Bottom Overlays, is this correct? Thanks for your help.

Thank you so much

can you please make another video on flexible routing traces..

Thanks great stuff, going to check out your full length videos again

Just did a whole pcb layout, but then with multi select and ordening everything by hand... Thanks for this tip

One of the very best video s I´ve ever seen about these features. Thank you.

really appreciate your tutorial, very easy to follow

Great video as always. I would recommend you to start series video on altium designer. Thanks in advance

Thank you! Your video has answered many questions I had about the rigid-flex design!

This is so good!!

Thanks for the nice Video
