CR-8000 explained

CR-8000 is a EDA suite launched by Japanese EDA vendor Zuken in 2011.^[1] Developed to serve the needs of multi-board level design CR-8000 is a next generation replacement for CR-5000 that was originally focused on single-board design.^[2] CR-8000 makes use of new technology including the integration of a tablet as an input device and the use of native 3D layout and actual 64-bit architecture.^[3] The CR-8000 family features four modules – System Planner; Design Gateway; Design Force; and DFM Center. These modules cover initial system planning, detailed schematic and pcb design; and optimized manufacturing output.^[4]

Tools

• System Planner: A system-level design environment for upfront planning and partitioning of electronics systems.
• Design Gateway: Platform for logical circuit design and verification of single and multi-board system-level electronic designs.
• Design Force: A complete system on package and board design and analysis solution.^[5]
• DFM Center: A manufacturing preparation and output solution supporting panelization and common output formats
