PCB designers gain free FPGA simulator
Users of the Zuken CR-5000 design suite can now download a free simulation kit for Altera's low-cost Cyclone III FPGA family.
Zuken now offers a free simulation kit for Altera's low-cost Cyclone III FPGA family for users of its CR-5000 advanced modular and robust electronics systems and PCB design suite Board designers can save time and increase quality by simulating signal integrity of FPGAs during both the circuit design and layout phases, without the need to construct their own what-if scenarios or map to simulation models

Upgrade for enterprise-wide PCB design solution
Zuken has released Revision 7 of CR-5000, the company's enterprise-wide PCB design solution.
3D package integrates with PCB design suite
EM Designer 4.4 now supports integration with Zuken's enterprise level PCB design suite, CR-5000 Board Designer.
The kit provides an extensive set of topology templates and simulation models that make it easy to compare real board performance against engineering needs and constraints using waveform and eye pattern analysis.
This simplifies the process of translating net topology specifications in application notes to layout constraints.
