AltiumLive expanded release of Maxim integrated board-level design content  

Altium Limited has released a range of component libraries for board-level designs using Maxim Integrated devices. Available from AltiumLive, the release delivers board-level component models and corresponding supply chain information, such as real-time price and availability data from distributors and vendors including Digi-Key, Mouser and Farnell, directly to designers using Altium’s electronics design software, Altium Designer.

A component model hosted in AltiumLive includes the schematic symbol, PCB footprint and a detailed 3D model for 3D mechanical integration during the PCB design process. Corresponding component price and availability data is drawn directly from vendor and supplier web services. AltiumLive also provides access to a host of design-related content including training and design tips videos, reference designs and a large range of documentation resources.

More than 3000 Maxim Integrated components have been released to AltiumLive, bringing Altium’s coverage of the Maxim catalogue to more than 5500 devices. The latest release features components for Maxim’s wide range of digital potentiometers, sensors, current-sense amplifiers and switched capacitor filters.
