Zuken-CR5000-System-Designer V10

Designing an electronics product right-first-time and meeting tight delivery deadlines requires a seamlessly integrated design environment supporting electronics system design and analysis, PCB layout and verification, and production preparation. CR-5000, first and foremost, provides a complete solution for design creation, definition, and re-use: a schematic design editor, a constraints management system, a wide range of analog, digital, mixed-signal, and multi-technology simulators, concurrent FPGA and PCB design tools, a parts library manager, and a documentation system.

Design Re-use
CR-5000 also supports design re-use, allowing engineers to utilize proven and tested logical circuits and layouts from previous projects again and again.


Schematic Design

CR-5000 System Designer significantly increases design productivity when creating today’s complex PCB designs by building in the information required in the PCB design process from the very start, for right-first-time design, every time. CR-5000 System Designer is at the core of the constraints-driven design process.

Constraints Management

The CR-5000 Constraint Manager provides a fully integrated, constraints-driven design methodology to meet high-speed performance or explosion protection requirements, reducing design costs and time-to-market by eliminating unnecessary prototypes and re-engineering cycles. It provides an easy-to-use spread-sheet-like GUI with cross-probing to schematics and layout.

Parallel System Design & Analysis

CR-5000 Lightning enables circuit timing and signal integrity simulation from the System Designer schematic. Additionally, a wide range of analog, digital, mixed-signal, and multi-technology simulators interface directly with System Designer, for example HSpice, PSpice, ADS, Active-HDL, ModelSim or Saber, supporting the co-simulation of analog and digital functional blocks and programmable devices.

Concurrent FPGA & PCB Design

CR-5000 provides a fast and efficient solution for I/O synchronization between FPGA devices and the PCB board, enabling top-down concurrent design of FPGAs and the PCB, reducing the design cycle time and optimizing system performance. CR-5000 interfaces directly with state-of-the-art FPGA design tools from Altera, Xilinx, or Lattice.
