Zuken Premiers EDA Tools to Russian and Eastern European Market at Expo Electronica

April 5th, 2005 - Bristol, UK - For the first time, ElecTrade Inc (booth C06), in partnership with Zuken, will be exhibiting the engineering consulting company’s full range of EDA tools in Russia, including the popular desktop design tool suite CADSTAR, with recently announced P-CAD migration tool.

CADSTAR is a Windows-based solution for PCB design that spans schematic capture, placement, routing, library creation and management, signal integrity, EMC analysis, and production of manufacturing data. CADSTAR also features internet-accessible libraries of over 130,000 components, a 3D design tool, automatic and high-speed routing, variant management, and signal integrity management and verification. It provides users with a competitively priced, scalable solution for designing simple or complex, multilayer PCBs.

The new P-CAD migration solution for CADSTAR also now means that users wanting to transfer PCB design tool can easily move design data, schematic databases and corporate libraries to CADSTAR. New tool evaluation decisions such as whether or not to abandon legacy data and fears about the loss of investment made in previous designs are no longer an issue, as the constraining factors that previously locked companies into a single supplier solution have been removed.

Recently announced TopSPICE simulation engine for CADSTAR is also being exhibited. TopSPICE, from Penzar Development, enables design engineers to simulate their schematic exactly as it will be passed into PCB layout. The integration between CADSTAR and TopSPICE, which has been developed in partnership with LatimerCAD, means that CADSTAR users no longer have to copy data from schematic to simulation, but instead work within a single design environment, utilizing a seamless design flow based around a single set of data

Additionally, demo’s are available for enterprise wide PCB design suite, CR-5000, Zuken’s most advanced constraints-driven solution; particularly suited to driving improvements in productivity and efficiency in the design of high-density, high-speed, miniaturized boards.
