System Design
Designing an electronic product right-the-first-time and meeting tight delivery deadlines requires a seamlessly integrated design environment supporting electronic system design and analysis, PCB layout and verification, and manufacturing output. Design Gateway, provides a complete solution for design creation, verification, and re-use: powerful schematic editor, constraints management, a wide range of analog, digital, mixed-signal, and multi-technology simulators, FPGA and PCB co-design, parts library management and documentation system.
Design Gateway provides complete system circuit design, communicating system design intent throughout the entire design flow and automating the communication of design rules. This reduces design cost and time-to-market and eliminates unnecessary product prototypes and re-spins. Multiple schematic sheets can be edited simultaneously, and by multiple designers, facilitating efficient operation in large projects.
CR-5000 Constraints Manager guides users through a fully integrated, constraints-driven design process to meet high-speed performance requirements, eliminating unnecessary prototypes and re-engineering cycles. Zuken's Constraints Manager provides an easy-to-use spread-sheet-like user interface, supporting constraints sharing and updating, and cross-probing to schematics and layout.
CR-5000 Lightning enables circuit timing and signal integrity simulation from Design Gateway circuit designs. Additionally, a wide range of analog, digital, mixed-signal, and multi-technology simulators interface directly with Design Gateway. Interfaces are available for HSPICE, PSpice, ADS, Active-HDL, ModelSim or Saber, supporting co-simulation of analog and digital functional blocks and programmable devices.
Graphical Pin Manager (GPM) offers a straightforward FPGA and PCB co-design flow, from top-level HDL description to schematic symbols, as well as to the physical I/O information for layout, thus reducing design cycle time and optimizing system performance. It interfaces directly with state-of-the-art FPGA design tools Altera Quartus II, Xilinx ISE, Actel Libero, and Lattice ispLEVER.
CR-5000 supports design re-use, allowing engineers to utilize proven and tested logical circuits and layouts from previous projects again and again.
