New Innovations in PCB Design

Demands for higher product quality and complexity with the market commanding more for less in shorter time frames, sets a fast pace for companies in the electronics industry.

Highly competitive situations mean that peak performance is a must-have in order to keep up with the ever changing technologies being introduced daily.

Achieving this involves constantly innovating technology and modifying design methods that will deliver efficiencies in time and spend, while at the core delivering a quality product. Zuken can work with you to adapt to these challenges within the printed circuit board design process.

Zuken can help you break the barriers of technology innovation in PCB design:

  • By enabling you to integrate the latest embedded components, including system in package technology and FPGAs
  • By empowering you to overcome the challenges of more in less space, with higher frequencies and more potential for signal interference, working with multilayer boards
  • While helping you deal with complexity and time pressures by offering solutions such as design partitioning, design reuse and complete component management.

System Level

Turning a vision into a plan of attack for a PCB to become a reality involves a methodical approach of design capture and analysis. Taking this onto the next step of making the product a tangible, integration to create a complete design flow becomes critical. For both graphical and textual design from a system level Zuken offers CR-5000 System Designer and CADSTAR.

  • CR-5000 - Enterprise-wide modular PCB Design
  • CADSTAR - Price / Performance PCB Design

Electronic Design

Delivering the detail of a PCB design from schematic capture, floorplanning, placement and routing and analysis, through to providing data for manufacturing, Zuken offers a wide range of solutions to meet your needs no matter what the scale and complexity of projects.

  • CADSTAR - Price / Performance PCB Design

3D Design

Fitting a highly complex PCB into smaller more abstract shaped housing that can ultimately be manufactured right-first-time, requires tailored 3D software that allows you to work within three-dimensions. Using 3D design software is an inexpensive way to check the design versus redoing the board – having to return just one board from manufacturing back into design can cover a single license cost in an instant.

Data Management

Managing the design process in an increasingly dispersed team which may span across countries and time zones can be a drain on resources and result in poor quality end products. Streamlining this to enjoy the benefits from the situation, rather than suffer the short fallings is important. Taking advantage of people in different time zones being able to work around the clock on one single design is possible using a centralized data management approach.
