CADSTAR is powerful and easy-to-use with affordable price & performance solution for PC-based PCB design solution that allows an intuitive and complete design flow for EDA design engineers. Design flow begin from schematic capture, circuit simulation, FPGA level system design, PCB layout, high speed constraint, EMC analysis, signal integrity & power integrity analysis, 3D modeling and finally production of manufacturing data. CADSTAR is complemented by data management capabilities and extensive internet-accessible libraries containing more than 250,000 components.

Intuitive work flow
Throughout CADSTAR’s Schematic and PCB design editors, the menu items and options are all in the same location, giving an intuitive guide through the design process.

Fast design cycle
Zuken’s P.R.Editor XR HS (Place & Route High Speed) is at the heart of CADSTAR. With a ‘right-first-time’ approach, this powerful placement and routing tool is optimized for speed and accuracy, tackling today’s dense PCB design challenges with creativity and intelligent automation. CADSTAR’s fully integrated 3D environment dramatically reduces the design time by using the proven technology from the verification and timing analysis engines in Zuken’s high-end solutions.

Migration preserves legacy data
Migrating from PADS or other tools to CADSTAR is simple. Users can move all the data over to CADSTAR from previous designs, reusing symbols, footprints and other supporting design data and benefit from the ability to re-work legacy designs.
