Getting Started With File Comparison

Getting Started With File Comparison

One major benefit of using a version control system is the ability to compare PCB design revisions against one another. If you’re comparing code, using a code difference tool is relatively straightforward. You’re just comparing text.

But if you are comparing PCB designs, you need a version control system that is electrically intelligent. It’s important to know who made a change, and when they made it. Altium Designer® and Altium 365® make file comparison easy.

You can compare schematics and layouts in detail locally, or through any web browser.

Join us in this webinar where we’ll cover:

  • Advantages of comparing PCB design data
  • What file types can be compared
  • How to locally and remotely compare different versions of your design files
  • How to revert to a previous project version

100BASE-T1 Link Won't Come Up: A Vendor-Neutral Checklist

A 100BASE-T1 link that will not come up is almost never a mystery, but the answers on the web are written per silicon vendor and do not transfer. This is the ordered bring-up checklist that holds regardless of which PHY, switch or SoC you have: physical layer first, then the PHY over MDIO, then the master and slave pairing, then the causes of a link that comes up and drops. The standards and tooling claims trace to IEEE 802.3 task force records, the Linux ethtool and kernel documentation or published test material.

ADAS Sensor Data Logging: Bandwidth Budgets That Add Up

Every page that tells you an ADAS test vehicle produces terabytes a day states the headline and skips the arithmetic, so you cannot redo it for your own sensor set. This article publishes the arithmetic instead: one formula, every table row derived on the page, a worked eight-hour drive that chains those rows into a sustained write rate, a media count and an offload window, and the five places bandwidth budgets go wrong.

Automotive Ethernet Connectors: H-MTD, MATEnet, MQS

An ECU arrives on the bench with a connector nobody has a mate for, and the day is gone. Search the family names and you get connector product pages that describe their own part and stop there. This article puts the families side by side in one table using only what their public pages state, then makes the point those pages leave out: the IEEE link segment definition, not the connector, is what sets reach and loss limits, and shielding is a channel decision rather than a preference.
