Zuken PCB Design Software CADSTAR

CADSTAR is Zuken’s powerful PCB design solution that allows an intuitive work flow, guiding designers easily through their design process. CADSTAR incorporates all the technologies necessary for a complete electronic development process in a single environment. The full range of the solution includes schematics, board- and FPGA-level system design, PCB layout, high-speed and signal integrity, analysis, 3D, and creation of manufacturing output, complemented by complete data management capabilities and extensive internet-accessible libraries containing over 200,000 components. Its price-performance, coupled with a scalable design environment, provides total flexibility to engineers of small- to mid-sized EDA development teams. Intuitive work flow Throughout CADSTAR’s Schematic and PCB design editors, the menu items and options are all in the same location, providing intuitive guidance through the design process. Fast design cycle Zuken’s P.R.Editor XR HS (Place & Route High-Speed) is at the heart of CADSTAR. With a 'right-first-time' approach, this powerful placement and routing tool is optimized for speed and accuracy, tackling today’s dense PCB design challenges with creativity and intelligent automation. CADSTAR’s fully integrated 3D environment dramatically reduces design time by using proven technology from the verification and timing analysis engines in Zuken’s high-end solutions. Migration preserves legacy data Migrating from PADS or other tools to CADSTAR is simple. Users can move all the data over to CADSTAR from previous designs, re-using symbols, footprints and other supporting design data and benefit from the ability to re-work legacy designs.
