FREE
CADSTAR 10.0 PCB Design Software
(Software updated: July 2008)
- CADSTAR Express Datasheet
- CADSTAR Express recommended minimum configurtation
CADSTAR Express provides a quick and easy way for you to experience the basic features of a standard PCB solution. It includes all the functionality of CADSTAR 10.0, limited to 300 pins and 50 components, plus the opportunity to experience Zuken's advanced P.R.Editor XR 2000.
In addition you are also able to view samples of CADSTAR Exchange*, a 200,000 component on-line library.
NOTE: This is not the full library of components but a sample to illustrate the benefits of CADSTAR Exchange. It does not contain the downloadable zip files containing Schematic symbols, PCB footprint and part library information which Exchange users are able to add to their CADSTAR library.
Inconjunction with this latest release of CADSTAR Express we have also improved and updated the 'Do-It-Yourself' manual to guide you through the PCB Design process and help you evaluate the potential of CADSTAR Express.
- (The 'Do-It-Yourself' manual is also available to download separately
- click here)
CADSTAR Express offers a glance into the process of designing a simple PCB.
However, should your needs dictate a more comprehensive evaluation of CADSTAR please contact your local CADSTAR distributor to request a full evaluation version of CADSTAR solutions.

Preview of CADSTAR FPGA - 30 day evaluation version
(Software updated: May 21, 2008)
- CADSTAR FPGA Datasheet (748 Kb)
- CADSTAR software recommended minimum configuration
- CADSTAR FPGA evaluation limitation details 
3.5 Mb CADSTAR FPGA Tutorial screen version
Register to download the software (30 day free evaluation version), and have sneak preview on CADSTAR FPGA.
CADSTAR FPGA combines Aldec’s Active-HDL Lite design simulation environment and Zuken’s desktop PCB design suite, CADSTAR. Engineers can perform comprehensive FPGA designs with complete support for technology from multiple FPGA vendors including Actel, Altera, Lattice, Quicklogic and Xilinx. It also performs mixed VHDL and Verilog simulation, strictly adhering to the latest IEEE language standards.
CADSTAR FPGA, provides one universal project manager that controls all design files for simulation, synthesis, place and route and pin assignment to the PCB. This integrated solution supports robust I/O synchronization between the FPGA device and the PCB, helping to optimize the routing pattern for high-density devices like BGAs plus the opportunity to experience Zuken's advanced P.R.Editor XR 2000.

CADSTAR Design Viewer 10.0
(30 April 2008)
The CADSTAR Design Viewer is a free
product that lets you share and access
CADSTAR design data very easily on any
of your preferred Windows platforms. The
design data is accessible to any user,
even the occasional users, with easy viewing
and sharing of schematic and PCB data.
It dramatically improves workgroup dynamics
by increasing project productivity either
in standalone mode or when used in conjunction
in a CADSTAR design environment.
