Z-DAC 2011 – A great turnout and already planning for 2012

by Amy Clements December 12, 2011 Americas

Another Z-DAC comes to a close, and while I’m pleased with how everything went, I’m a bit disappointed that it’s over. Of the many events that I work on throughout the year, this is definitely my favorite, and that’s due to the fact that I have many more opportunities to interact with our customers more [...]

CADSTAR users enthusiastic about new Power Integrity Advance solution

by Ralf Bruening December 1, 2011 Electronic

In the last few weeks I’ve been on the road visiting the well-attended Engineering Days in Benelux (Eindhoven), UK (Shropshire) and ZDAC in San Antonio, USA. My colleague Humair Mandavia and I formed a tag-team to introduce the new Power Integrity Advance solution to our customers; with my focus this time on our CADSTAR users. [...]

Improve your PCB Quality and Cost with Concurrent Power Integrity Analysis

by Humair Mandavia November 23, 2011 Americas

I recently gave a presentation on Power Integrity analysis at PCB West. The presentation, available below, looks at the increasing challenges with power distribution systems on modern high-speed PCBs and considers: IC input impedance behavior, resonance behavior of power distribution systems (PDS), management of decoupling capacitors and EDA methodology for concurrent power integrity simulation throughout PCB design process.

Getting involved. E3.series users keen to share experiences and insights

by Patrick Hackney November 21, 2011 Americas

I recently concluded my whirl wind tour of both the UK (ZEDUK) and US (Z-DAC) annual meetings. The E³ track sessions (E³.series or E³.WireWorks) were broken down into Technical content, provided by Zuken and its resellers and user experiences, which were very kindly provided by our customers, who I thank greatly and will mention later [...]

Reactions to Zuken’s PCB design revolution – CR-8000 Design Force; but what do you think?

by Kent Mcleroth November 16, 2011 Americas

Last week we concluded our annual Z-DAC User Conference in San Antonio Texas. While this event is always well-received and marvellously interactive between Zuken and our ever-growing family of customers, this year was truly special, as Zuken unveiled the first real paradigm shift in electronic design since those heady days of EDA yore: CR-8000 Design [...]

Flying high for our largest ever UK Engineering Day

by Sally Wilkes November 15, 2011 Europe

There was a definite buzz about our unusual choice of venue, RAF Museum Cosford, as delegates registered for the Engineering Day. After all, it’s not every day that you pick up your name badge in the shadow of a Douglas Thor missile, after descending a walkway in line of sight of a suspended Vulcan Bomber. [...]

The challenges and pitfalls of designing a new PCB design solution – CR-8000 (Part 2)

by Kazuhiro Kariya November 1, 2011 Electronic

The most difficult part of developing our new system was defining the specification for a new design process and tools. This is because neither we nor our customers had experience with a multi-board or system-level way of designing. This led to many meetings with our customers to polish the specification of the new process and [...]

The challenges and pitfalls of designing a new PCB design solution – CR-8000 (Part 1)

by Kazuhiro Kariya October 25, 2011 Electronic

When we released CR-5000 15 years ago, we were already thinking about our next generation system (now known as CR-8000). We made many prototypes and had numerous brainstorm meetings with our customers using these prototypes. This research process lasted more than seven years. The first results of this project came in the form of Design [...]
