Dow Jones Description
Altium (formerly Protel International Limited) was founded by Nick Martin in 1985 in Hobart, Tasmania, to develop PC-based software to aid in the design of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). His initial DOS PCB design tool was readily accepted by the Australian electronics industry, and by mid-1986 Altium was exporting the design package through distributors to the United States and Europe. As a result of the success of this PCB design package, Altium extended its product range to include schematic capture, PCB autorouting and automatic PCB component placement software. In the late eighties Altium recognized that an opportunity existed to develop Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software utilizing the Microsoft Windows platform. There was little EDA software available for the Windows platform at the time, despite advances in its processing capabilities and reliability, and there were increasing numbers of design engineers using Windows-based operating systems. Consequently, in 1991 Altium released the world's first Windows-based PCB design system, Advanced PCB. Over the next few years, and with the benefit of various product additions and enhancements, Altium established itself as an innovative developer of EDA software. In 1997, Altium identified a growing need to present all core EDA software tools as one integrated package, thereby allowing a seamless progression from design concept through to production...
