EID Adopts Zuken CR-5000 Solution for its Advanced PCB Design
Zuken announced that EID has adopted the CR-5000 design platform as its design flow solution for printed circuit board design. Citing significant gains on design reliability, EID adopted the Zuken solution for its complete front to back-end methodology, including Signal Integrity Simulation. Zuken was selected as a key partner to help EID achieve an increased profile in international markets, and particularly in the company’s main fields of expertise, which are military communications equipment and systems.
Using Zuken’s latest CR-5000 technology, EID is now able to cut verification run time and increase layout efficiency significantly on very complex developments. Due to the characteristics of the defense market, EID is being called upon to develop highly complex designs, which demand increased reliability. Zuken’s solution achieves this by using a common manufacturing and layout database, meaning that boards are right-first-time and correct by construction.
EID is keen to achieve their ‘bottom line objective’ and selected Zuken as a business partner because Zuken focus on delivering leading edge technology solutions developed to cope with frequently changing needs, to ensure long-term future growth. Circuit boards, especially the high density ones, require sophisticated, automated routing techniques to enable fast completion times. With CR-5000, high density as well as radio frequency designs and simulation can all be delivered to the highest specification.
José Taborda, Head of CAD department at EID, commented: “Without this kind of unified design and analysis environment we would never achieved the fast development cycle-time needed for our most demanding projects.” To find out more about the CR-5000, visit: www.zuken.com/cr-5000
