Zuken Releases CR-5000 Lightning

MUNICH, Germany and WESTFORD, MA – Zuken has released its new high-speed design solution, CR-5000 Lightning. It was reportedly created to meet the demands of increased electronics design complexity resulting from the growth in density, miniaturization and multi-functionality of products.
The Lightning was born from collaboration between research and development teams from Japan, the UK and Germany. It is said to combine PCB designs and simulation for fast and efficient design, allegedly enabling users to solve high-speed design issues early in the process.
This integrated design environment into CR-5000 Board Designer and CR-5000 System Designer reportedly ensures a fully adopted frontloading approach, allowing users to share information through a unified database directly within the high-speed design environment. In-depth analysis and what-if capabilities available throughout the design process allegedly enable engineers to explore design scenarios, trading off signal integrity parameters such as crosstalk, timing or EMI requirements, against mechanical and thermal constraints.
CR-5000 Lightning starts at $19,800 and 19,500 - which includes node-locked CR-5000 Lightning SI license with a Prolog Link (an add-on option that provides direct access to SI simulation/verification from CR-5000 System Designer).

Development Kit Test Drives Innovative Cable Assemblies
3M introduces the Shielded Controlled Impedance (SCI) Cable Assembly Development Kit, 2mm. The development kit enables users to assess, test and design high-performance, 2mm SCI cable-to-board solutions. Engineers can attain multi-gigahertz performance from 2 mm printed circuit board connectors using 2mm shielded controlled impedance cable assemblies. The SCI connectors save board space without affecting performance. Users can verify signal integrity, impedance matching and crosstalk performance for designs requiring up to 1 Gbps single-ended performance per signal line or 5 Gbps differential performance per signal pair. The kit contains everything needed to assess, test and design, including a CD-ROM with application note, test instruction and technical sheets. www.3m.com
