Operational Impact
The use of Altium Designer has enabled TVonics to meet its ambitious design schedules and differentiate itself in a highly competitive market. The software's features, such as the ability to reproduce entire sections of the design and powerful graphical manipulation, have allowed the team to achieve very low power consumption and adhere to strict design criteria. The team has been able to spend more time on actual PCB design, leading to functional, adaptive, and elegant designs that meet ambitious low-power consumption and form-factor targets. The company has also been able to make good use of the automatic panelisation features and prefabrication checks, saving time with the PCB vendor. The Polygon Manager saves a lot of time at the back-end stage of PCB design, the built-in design rule checker works intelligently, and the cross-probe feature allows for all violations to be quickly identified and fixed. | |
Quantitative Benefit
TVonics was able to go from drawing board to manufacture in just four months for the MDR-200 Digital TV Receiver. | |
The use of Altium Designer saved about two months in development time. | |
TVonics has successfully shipped 280,000 units in just three years. | |
