Connect CR-8000 with Polar Instruments’ Speedstack PCB Stackup/ECAD Interface

We’re happy to announce that Speedstack, Polar Instruments’ layer stackup design/documentation tools, can now be directly linked to Zuken’s CR-8000 Design Force and DFM Center.

Design Force users can now exchange pre-layout designs seamlessly thanks to Polar’s Speedstack for IC packaging and PCB design. CR-8000 DFM Center can validate the stackup before it’s released to manufacturing.

The link also empowers designers to:

• Simplify material communication during the supply chain
• Preserve signal integrity design accuracy throughout product development
• Avoid material and impedance duplication
• Access high-speed materials online

The interface relays comprehensive material information required for complex designs with high layer counts. Zuken customers can also access Polar’s expansive online library of high-speed base materials. Impedance information within the Speedstack is loaded into CR-8000’s environment; no tedious and error-prone manual entry is required.
