Zuken launches latest version of CR-5000
May 09, 2007 Zuken has launched CR-5000 version 10.0, the enterprise-wide printed circuit board (PCB) design solution. The highlights include advanced methodologies to support high-speed differential pairs essential for DDR design, further developments related to routing technology, and enhancements to integration and design flow. With around 90% of designs now featuring differential pairs, Zuken has made quick and efficient handling of this technology a focus for CR-5000 10.0. Differential Pairs can now be seamlessly managed and constrained throughout the design flow by the engineer, delivering increased design consistency by front loading the design process. Version 10.0 also supports many additional topology styles for differential pairs - which are essential for architectures such as DDR2 and DDR3. Zuken's Trunk router, optimized for differential pair design, has also been updated to support full interactive routing of these topologies. Version 10.0 of Lightning, the high-speed environment in CR-5000, has seen vast improvements to interactive functionality relating to H-Tree topologies, guaranteeing zero skew routing of bridge- and shunt-terminated H-Trees. Within revision 10.0 significant focus has been directed at increasing the design/electrical engineers involvement within the product design flow by further improving the bi-directional communication between different CR-5000 applications. Deeper integration between system level and board level environments, CR-5000 System Designer and CR-5000 Board Designer, means that CR-5000 Lightning can now be used by engineers as an engineering floor planning tool - saving time and increasing design quality as a result of further front loading of the design process. CR-5000 10.0 is available from May 2007. For more information about CR-5000 10.0 visit |
