Pre-configured Solutions
CADSTAR is offered in a range of pre-configured Schematic and PCB design products that cover all of your needs and requirements. All bundles are fully maintained and supported around the clock via the Zuken support web site and backed up by local distribution partners.
CADSTAR Professional
CADSTAR Professional is Zuken’s integrated schematic and PCB design solution for High Density Interconnect (HDI) and high-speed layout, with advanced layout capabilities that enable the design engineer to quickly and effectively realize design intent.
CADSTAR Basic
CADSTAR Basic builds on all of the features available in CADSTAR Lite and expands it to include Place and Route Editor XR2000 L6. This powerful routing toolset allows for the placement and routing of PCB designs for up to 6 layer boards, with unlimited pins.
CADSTAR Lite
CADSTAR Lite is Zuken’s affordable, but limited entry-level, integrated schematic and PCB design solution. CADSTAR Lite is limited to PCB designs of 4 layers and 2000 pins.
Optional products for all configurations
Signal Integrity
CADSTAR SI Verify offers a complete concurrent and post-layout signal integrity solution that enables engineers, layout designers and specialists within a development team to collaborate, organize, constrain, and verify their design in a seamless process. This helps them work more effectively, minimize costs, and improve overall time to market.

Schematics (additional seats)
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 that provides a fast and efficient way of capturing electronic design intent, rules and constraints for smooth and error-free transition to PCB layout.
Placement Planner
CADSTAR Placement Planner enables the engineer to engage the placement process during logical circuit design. As an add-on to CADSTAR Schematics, Placement Planner is intended to help electronic engineers communicate their intent and provide guidance to the PCB designer more effectively.

MRP Link
MRP-Link*, the component list and BOM management system, comprises several powerful CAD manufacturer-neutral modules. An SQL database is used as the central element that ensures maximum flexibility for optimised and rapid integration into ERP/PLM systems.
Top features and benefits
- Automatic bi-directional synchronisation minimises errors when creating designs
- The availability of alternative and preferred components safeguards the use of the best components from both a technical and commercial point of view
- The ongoing creation of BOM’s facilitates realistic costing with scenario analyses
- The integration of non-electrical components during BOM creation facilitates parallel planning for all components.
