Essential PCB Design for Professionals

CADSTAR is a complete software environment for PCB design – from initial concept through to product realization. With a unified suite of applications, engineers can seamlessly define, visualize, implement and verify their designs.

Schematic capture with placement and constraint planner

Constraint-driven interactive and automatic PCB layout routing

Signal Integrity, Power Integrity, and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Comprehensive markup and post-processing capabilities

Product Features

With CADSTAR's unified suite of applications, engineers can seamlessly define, visualize, implement and verify their designs.

CADSTAR Schematics is a highly integrated front-end solution, providing a smooth and error-free transition (forward & back annotation) between schematics and PCB, easy to learn and use for both occasional and frequent users.

Easy to learn and fast to use, the constraint driven approach of CADSTAR PCB design layout software helps you create right-first-time printed circuit board designs.

With its Board Modeler Lite, CADSTAR bridges the gap between electronic and mechanical design allowing PCB designers to work in a 3D environment, perform collision checks between components, boards and enclosure and make placement changes to resolve them.

With a mix of manual, auto-interactive and automatic tools for PCB placement and routing, the CADSTAR Place and Route Editor 2000 has been optimized for performance, quality and manufacturability to meet today’s advanced technology design challenges.

With its highest performing routing tool, Route Editor XR 5000HS, CADSTAR offers specific additional functionality targeted for high-speed PCB design, such as DDR2, DDR3, DDR4 and PCI Express, including min/max length, skew, delay and crosstalk limits to meet tight timing and noise margins.

Zuken’s CADSTAR solution integrates a design migration tool within all bundles, which includes additional features to better support and exploit legacy design data. Designs can be imported from a number of third-party packages, including:

  • PADS (Mentor Graphics)
  • OrCAD (Cadence)
  • PCAD/Protel/Altium Designer (Altium)
