Finding the right parts for a design can be hard. A cloud platform helps you search, compare, and choose solutions that better fit their project needs.
Altium Discover is a cloud platform that helps engineers find and compare complete electronic solutions rather than searching for individual components. It uses the context of a design—such as requirements, constraints, and intent—to show options that fit the needs of a project, supporting engineers from the early concept stage through downstream impact across the product lifecycle.
The platform is designed for electronics engineers and product teams who need to select chips, modules, and complete solutions for their designs. At the same time, it connects semiconductor manufacturers and component distributors with engineers, creating a shared space where both sides can work together to identify the right solution.
A key part of Altium Discover is its ability to capture and maintain the context of a design. Engineers can include details such as requirements, constraints, and design intent. This context stays associated with searches, helping engineers evaluate options based on how well they fit the project instead of relying only on specifications of individual parts.
The platform also allows engineers to discover and explore product solutions that align with real project needs. Engineers can compare options not only for how they fit a design but also for their potential downstream impact across the entire product lifecycle.
Another feature of the platform is access to field application engineer (FAE) expertise at scale. Engineers can engage with FAE support asynchronously, making it easier to receive expert guidance and collaborate with specialists when needed without relying on scheduled meetings.
Every search on Altium Discover is enriched with persistent design context. This helps engineers make more informed decisions when selecting components or solutions, supporting better outcomes for design, development, and production.
For existing Altium users, current tools and subscriptions will continue without change. When teams are ready, moving to Altium Discover, Altium Develop, and Altium Agile is designed as a seamless upgrade. Designs, libraries, and workflows remain fully compatible, allowing engineers to continue using familiar tools while expanding onto a modern platform that supports collaboration and adapts to existing workflows without requiring major changes in how teams work.
Altium Discover is currently an upcoming offering. Engineers and product teams can join the waitlist on the product page to receive updates when the platform launches, when pricing is announced, and when upgrade details become available.
