Explore implementation approaches on a system level
CR-8000 is a suite of applications that span the entire PCB engineering lifecycle. From architecture planning through system-level engineering and optimization to physical implementation and manufacturing.
CR-8000 is the only PCB design environment complemented by data management capabilities, providing comprehensive library, module, configuration, and release management.
CR-8000 is a product-centric electronic system design solution that provides the tools to optimize a design at both the IC and PCB design level. Product-centric design processes provide architectural validation of the design against the requirements. Detailed design includes 2D/3D multi-board design and implementation, FPGA I/O optimization, chip/package/board co-design, and 3D MCAD integration. All in one design flow.
Explore implementation approaches on a system level
Partition complex systems into multiple connected PCBs
Manage IC, package and PCB in one single environment
Control releases, revisions and configurations with integrated data management
CR-8000 is the only concept-to-manufacturing PCB Design Software that has been developed from the start to address the unique requirements of today’s ever-increasing challenges in system-level design optimization.
The software suite’s fully integrated design flow ranges from initial system planning, where critical design decisions are made about design partitioning, schematic capture, and circuit design and simulation, through to multi-board PBC layout with comprehensive design-for-manufacturing capabilities for optimized manufacturing outputs.
System-Level Design
CR-8000 is a comprehensive engineering and design environment that enables engineers to define and validate the architecture of new designs on a functional level using a mix of functional blocks that can be referenced to existing schematics.
Ensure design integrity and manufacturability with embedded simulation and analysis tools and powerful design rule checks.
Save time and eliminate errors through centrally managed rules and constraints.
Manage multi-board designs as a coherent system within the boundaries of their mechanical enclosures.
Create and optimize the layout of system-in-package (SiP), package-on-package (PoP), and package-in-package (PiP) assemblies in 2D and 3D in their target PCB environment.
Control releases, revisions and configurations with an integrated data management environment.
System Planner provides a system-level design environment for the architectural planning and optimization of electronic systems and products.
CR-8000 Design Gateway provides a platform for logical circuit design and verification of multi-board system-level electronic designs.
CR-8000 Design Force is the fastest, most effective PCB design solution available today. Design Force enables design teams to layout and verify their designs in the context of a complete system or product.
Design Force offers an intuitive, integrated environment for designing single and multi-die packages for wire-bond, flip-chip, and high density advanced packaging.
With a robust set of features for data preparation and embedded verification to verify manufacturing specifications, DFM Center addresses the challenges of the manufacturing process.
DS-CR supports the specific demands of PCB design data management. It combines multi-site library, design data, and configuration management capabilities into a unified engineering environment.
