If I were to ask many of my American designer friends as to which EDA vendors supply enterprise-level PCB/system design and verification software, I'm pretty sure that around 99 percent would say "Cadence and Mentor, of course!" Also, more than a few of my friends are very enthusiastic about Altium's offerings. Since I come from Europe, I'm also aware of another major player in this area -- Zuken.
Founded in 1976, Zuken is a Japanese company with corporate headquarters in Yokohama, Japan; European headquarters in Munich, Germany; and North American headquarters in Westford, Mass. In many respects, it's surprising to me that Zuken has managed to maintain such a low profile in the USA because they are so well known in the Asia-Pacific region and in Europe. In fact, I would go so far as to say that they are No. 1 with regard to enterprise-level PCB/system design and verification software just about everywhere in the world except North America.
Having said all this, Zuken's presence has been steadily growing in North America over the last 10 years or so in certain areas, such as the military and aerospace markets. This tells you something right there, because the big American Mil-Aero contractors are strongly incentivized to purchase their EDA tools from 100 percent "Red, White, and Blue" American companies. Thus, the fact that so many of them are using Zuken's tools has to make one pause for thought.
What sort of tools are we talking about? Well, Zuken has three main contenders in the PCB-system-product design and verification arena: CADSTAR is billed as the Expert Desktop Design Solution, CR-5000 is targeted toward Enterprise-wide PCB Design, and CR-8000 is Zuken's flagship multi-board, system-level design solution.
I was chatting to the folks from Zuken just the other day. They were saying that circuit boards have traditionally been the centerpiece of the design process, but that this is no longer the case. Now, System-on-Chip (SoC) devices and System-in-Package (SiP) assemblies are the centerpiece. Also, companies are no longer thinking primarily in terms of designing boards; instead, they are thinking in terms of designing products, and the sheer complexity of today's products is driving a new approach to product-level design abstraction.
Zuken – with its PCB design tools – and XJTAG, supplier of boundary scan and design for test technology, have entered into a partnership to enhance Zuken’s CR-8000 with a design for test (DFT) capability that will improve test coverage during schematic entry.
The capability is based on XJTAG’s DFT Assistant, and will be available later this year as a free plugin for Zuken’s CR-8000 Design Gateway users.
CR-8000 is a native 3D product-centric design platform for PCB-based systems. CR-8000 directly supports architecture design, concurrent multi-board PCB design, chip/package/board co-design and full 3D MCAD co-design. CR-8000 Design Gateway is Zuken’s platform for logical circuit design and verification.
JTAG was designed to enable test access, so with designs becoming ever-densers and with fewer physical test access points, an optimized JTAG design can have a positive impact on ROI. Failure to optimize JTAG test coverage at an early design stage can increase manufacturing costs and possibly require a board re-design.
XJTAG DFT Assistant will help to validate correct JTAG chain connectivity while displaying boundary scan access and coverage onto the schematic diagram through full integration with CR-8000 Design Gateway.
Simon Payne, CEO of XJTAG, says: “Companies need to determine early in the design phase how to maximize test coverage using the minimum number of test points, so it is essential to know what JTAG access is available at the schematic stage of the design process. The XJTAG DFT Assistant for Zuken’s CR-8000 Design Gateway will make it easy to see the test access as the design evolves. This allows test engineers to significantly optimize testing before PCBs are produced.”
This is why the CR-8000 features IP management and protection, system-level design exploration and planning (fully integrated into the design process), the concurrent design of multiple PCBs (rigid, flex, rigi-flex) and IC packages, platform/reuse-based design, native 2D/3D package and PCB design with 3D ECAD/MCAD co-design, and multi-site library and engineering data management.
CR-5000CR-5000 is Zuken’s printed circuit board (PCB) and advanced packaging layout suite of customizable tools aimed at the Enterprise market. Incorporating the latest technology requirements (embedded components, RF Design & Design re-use) within a constrained design process methodology, it offers maximum benefit for customers whose key requirements include high-speed digital design, miniaturization and time to mass production.
In conjunction with its “constrained design process methodology” CR-5000’s integrated “Design for Manufacturability” methodologies help assure not only that the design is right the first time, but that it is manufacturable the first time and is operates reliably every time.
CR-5000 Library Tools
The use of common library data throughout the whole design cycle is an essential element of the CR-5000 constraints-driven, right-by-construction methodology. The libraries are easily searchable and editable. In addition, tools are provided for fast and easy component creation
CR-5000 System Designer
System Designer is the design creation part of Zuken’s CR-5000, enterprise-wide design solution for the development of advanced electronic products. System Designer is a graphical tool for design capture and analysis. It supports a wide range of graphical and textual design entry methods and is suited to digital, analog and mixed signal circuit design at both system and PCB level. The tool is tightly linked to synthesis, simulation, timing analysis, verification, and debugging throughout the design process. The design entry methodology has been developed to reduce design time, minimize product cost and size, and improve product quality.

The Layout Professional
The Layout Professional
The layout professional demands a toolset that supports their creativity and preferred working methods, but also maintains design integrity and conformance to design rules to ensure a manufacturable output. CADSTAR’s customisable user interface, ability to support any layer and element (pads, tracks, etc.) definitions and powerful interactive tools let you design the way that suits you.
Furthermore, many products do not have all of their electronics subsystems neatly gathered together in one place. Instead, in products like automobiles, medical scanners, industrial robots, and aircraft, the electronic subsystems may be distributed all over the place. This requires the use of complex wire harnesses. Amazingly enough, many design houses still design these harnesses using pieces of colored string wrapped around nails that are hammered into wooden boards. You can call me a "silly-billy" if you wish, but this does not sound like a 21st Century design technology to me.

PCB Simulation and Analysis
+++PCB Design and AnalysisCR-8000 is a complete design environment that includes fully integrated simulation and analysis tools to verify your single or multi-board designs. During circuit design, Design Gateway provides embedded simulation, analysis and electrical rules checking. During PCB layout, the Design Force embedded signal integrity, power integrity, electromagnetic interference1, and electromagnetic compatibility2 tools provide a single environment solution for all of your design team’s simulation and analysis requirements. This eliminates the need for time-intensive export, analyze, rework and repeat using separate tools. Simulation and analysis can be performed on a single board (SI/PI/EMI/EMC) or across multiple boards (SI). Identify and correct system and board-level errors and issues early in the design process!
Placement and Routing is an integral part of a PCB design process. CADSTAR offers great flexibility in this area by providing both Push-aside Placement and Routing tools (manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic) within the Embedded Place & Route Editor or the advanced standalone Place & Route Editor (P.R.Editor XR 2000). The CADSTAR Variant Manager enables you to generate variants of a 'master' design (included B.O.M’s and assembly drawings) without having to maintain separate files for each variant.
