Altium
Altium or Altium Limited is Australian CAD/CAE software company, listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX code: ALU).
The company was founded in 1985 in Hobart, Tasmania, to fill a need in the electronics industry for easy to use, PC-based ECAD software. At that time, most ECAD/EDA tools were unix-based or required expensive dedicated hardware, which many engineers could not afford. Since that time the company has successfully acquired a number of other technology vendors in order to build the software engineering capabilities and technology itself for the first UEPD tool, Altium Designer. This includes aspects of schematic entry, simulation, PCB design, FPGA/CPLD hardware design, and embedded software development.
The word Altium is Latin for to grow great.
