Software aids signal
integrity in student design
Students on the signal integrity for high-speed digital design course at the University of Missouri Rolla use Zuken's CR-5000 Lightning Scenario
Zuken is providing free use of its CR-5000 Lightning Scenario to students on the signal integrity for high-speed digital design course at the University of Missouri Rolla. This leading-edge signal integrity (SI) design and analysis tool, which is part of Zuken's CR-5000 enterprise-wide design environment, provides a 'what-if' scratchpad, allowing designers to create SI related scenarios that can be simulated to test their design strategies.

PCB design solution handles differential pairs
With around 90% of designs now featuring differential pairs, Zuken has made quick and efficient handling of this technology a focus for the CR-5000 10.0 PCB design solution
It can be used to create purely experimental circuits or extract equivalent circuits from the schematic or physical layout.
When selecting a tool on which to base the course, Professor James Drewniak said it was a simple choice that came down to the integration capabilities of CR-5000 Lightning Scenario.
Drewniak explained: 'Today tools are very fragmented'.

'We really need to be able to do all the work in one place'.
'Otherwise I spend all my time exporting, importing, and redeveloping my problem or pieces of it, which is cumbersome, time-consuming, and inefficient'.
'The paradigm for CR-5000 is integration, so that an engineer can summon all of these resources from the enterprise tool (CR-5000), and then be able to readily integrate the results into the design simulation'.
The course on signal integrity at the University of Missouri Rolla is the first of its kind offered by the institution and is aimed at senior undergraduates and early graduate students.
It is also available as a distance education course for practicing engineers, with tutorials presented over the web.
This educational endeavour follows on from Zuken's longstanding relationship with the University of Missouri Rolla, which includes active participation in the UMR EMC Consortium for over 10 years.
The goal of this partnership is to develop algorithms for fast and trustworthy prediction of the sources of EMC problems on complete PCBs.
Results of this joint research have been incorporated in Zuken's CR-5000 Lightning EMC addon product.
