CR-5000 System Designer
|
CR-5000 System Designer, a design creation application, is part of Zuken’s CR-5000 enterprise-wide design solution for the development of advanced electronic products. System Designer is a graphical tool for design capture and analysis. It supports a wide range of design entry methods and is suited for digital, analog, and mixed signal circuit design at both system and PCB level. The tool is tightly linked to synthesis, simulation, timing analysis, verification, and debugging throughout the design process. The design entry methodology is engineered to reduce design time, minimize product cost and size, and improve product quality.

CR-5000 Lightning
|
CR-5000 Lightning is a fully integrated high-speed design and analysis environment within the CR-5000 tool suite, spanning all verification stages from pre-design planning to completed board layout and system design. This powerful PCB design prototyping software allows you to realize your design faster, while maintaining signal integrity and EMC. Simulation and topology extraction are available directly within CR-5000 System Designer and CR-5000 Board Designer for instant high-speed topology planning and verification. EMC (EMI/power integrity) analysis is available at the routing stage. You can download Altera’s IBIS simulation models and use them as an integral part of verification at any stage in the design flow.

Board Level
|
CR-5000 Board Designer
|
CR-5000 Board Designer, part of the CR-5000 enterprise-wide environment, provides an intuitive, integrated environment for designing PCBs, ball-grid arrays (BGAs) and MCMs. It serves to guide the user, via a common user interface, along the design path of schematic capture, floorplanning, placement, routing, and analysis and then to manufacturing. It operates seamlessly across UNIX and Windows platforms combining the functionality of a high-end tool with ease-of-use. While rules are constant throughout the design process, they are dynamically linked to ensure flexibility and consistency.

|
CR-5000 Lightning
|
In addition to the verification functionality detailed above, CR-5000 Lightning features advanced interactive and auto-interactive floorplanning and routing, including unique Trunk Routing, expediting constraint-based physical design completion while simultaneously considering physical and high-speed constraints.
