Altium has released a new range of component libraries for board-level designs using the ARM Cortex-M based EFM32 Gecko microcontrollers developed by Energy Micro and recently acquired by Silicon Labs, as well as for Maxim Integrated devices.
Available now from AltiumLive, the releases deliver board-level component models and corresponding supply chain information, such as real-time price and availability data from distributors and vendors including Digi-Key, Arrow and Farnell, directly to designers using Altium Designer electronics design software.
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. 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.
The release of the EFM32 libraries covers the entire Gecko microcontroller range with over 240 scalable MCU options. The extended Maxim coverage adds 3000 new components (including digital potentiometers, sensors, current-sense amplifiers and switched capacitor filters), bringing Altium’s coverage of the Maxim catalogue to more than 5500 devices.
