Analysis & Verification

Concurrent Design & Verification

CR-5000 offers integration with a wide range of analog, digital, mixed-signal and multi-technology simulators, including HSpice, PSpice, ADS, Active-HDL, ModelSim or Saber. It also supports the co-simulation of analog and digital functional blocks and programmable devices.

Power Integrity & EMC Verification

CR-5000 Lightning facilitates PCB power integrity through the provision of advice for sufficient power and ground connections and power distribution analysis; limiting power supply noise and ground bounce. EMC analysis is available based on differential and common mode simulations, plus analysis that focuses on factors beyond the PCB from plugs or heat sinks etc.

CR-5000 EMC Adviser helps to predict, analyze and control design issues that may cause EMC/EMI problems.

Parallel Mechanical & PCB Design

CR-5000 Board Interchanger integrates directly with the CATIA V5 MCAD system and provides the MCAD engineer with an optimized environment for the verification of PCB layouts in their mechanical environment, avoiding re-spins and costly production delays. Any board and placement changes, as board outline and restriction areas, are automatically back-annotates into the PCB design, so any required layout action, like re-routing, can be done easily.
