CR-5000 revision 13.0 design suite for electronics systems and printed circuit boards introduces new core technology for power integrity analysis along with an array of developments to accelerate process optimization and integration including more efficient DRC checking, improvements in hierarchical design, management of constraint data and more. Speeds DRC runs for very large designs, and generating copper areas and autocorrecting them as traces plow through or boundaries change. Also incorporates some CR-5000 Lightning routing technology for trunk routing and lengthening on buses or differential pairs with full constraint adherence.

Creation of tear drops "on the-fly" is more advanced with a wide selection of options. Includes CR-5000 Lightning module for concurrent power integrity and EMC analysis within the PCB design flow.

Also released: Design Gateway, for system-level schematic design, with more than 70 enhancements in hierarchical design, constraint management, and interactive editing. Now supports different modes of design including copied and embedded blocks, particularly useful for organizations moving away from the traditional shared block methodology. Hierarchy functionality provides page numbering, consistency checks when opening and saving the hierarchical circuit, plus comparison and updating functionality when dealing with source data. Rules Checker has enhanced checks for power and ground nets, bus bit count and bus bit order mismatches, along with pin information among design variations.
