Case Study: Austriamicrosystems (AMS) achieves unified, error-free electronics design and faster time-to-market with Altium Designer (Altium)

Austriamicrosystems (AMS) - Customer Case Study

Austriamicrosystems (AMS), a long‑standing maker of high‑performance analog semiconductors and sensor solutions, faced growing pressure to deliver more complex, reliable reference designs and application samples faster. Their use of multiple, disconnected design tools caused file conversion failures and corrupted databases, leading to development delays, manufacturing errors, and missed "right‑first‑time" expectations for customers.

AMS migrated to Altium Designer to unify schematic and PCB layout in a single workflow, with intelligent project hierarchies and native 3D visualization. The move eliminated import/export conversion issues and database corruption, sped up design cycles, improved component placement and compactness, and delivered a more reliable, accurate, and efficient development process.
