CADSTAR, Zuken’s powerful and easy-to-use, excellent price/performance solution for PC-based PCB design, allows an intuitive and complete design flow for EDA engineers and designers alike, from the initial schematics and then PCB design to manufacturing output. It spans schematic capture, placement, routing, library creation and management, signal integrity and EMC analysis, along with the production of manufacturing data.
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.
