CADSTAR P.R.Editor

 High-speed Design – CADSTAR Place and Route Editor

CADSTAR Place and Route Editor (P.R.Editor) is an integral part of the CADSTAR solution. Using the latest algorithms for interactive and automatic placement and routing, it helps achieve optimal routing results. Supported by a constraint-driven process, P.R.Editor enables designers to meet specifications and performance goals throughout the design process.

CADSTAR P.R.Editor offers an extensive set of electrical and physical design rules that allow you accurately implement the latest design technologies. Designers can interactively and automatically design and verify their constraints and use area-based rules to accommodate the complex matrix of timing rules and signal quality requirements found in today’s high performance designs. These include high-speed interfaces such as DDR2/DDR3, SuperSpeed USB and PCI Express. Embedded within the CADSTAR design suite, P.R.Editor can help you manage today’s advanced technology design challenges with ease.
