Pre-configured Solutions
CADSTAR is offered in a range of pre-configured Schematic and PCB design products that cover all of your needs and requirements. All PCB Design bundles are fully maintained and supported around the clock via the Zuken support web site and backed up by local distribution partners.
Product Features
With CADSTAR's unified suite of applications, engineers can seamlessly define, visualize, implement and verify their designs.
CADSTAR Professional is Zuken’s integrated schematic and PCB design solution for High Density Interconnect (HDI) and high-speed layout, with advanced layout capabilities that enable the design engineer to quickly and effectively realize design intent.
CADSTAR Basic builds on all of the features available in CADSTAR Lite and expands it to include Place and Route Editor XR2000 L6. This powerful routing toolset allows for the placement and routing of PCB designs for up to 6 layer boards, with unlimited pins.
CADSTAR Lite is Zuken’s affordable, but limited entry-level, integrated schematic and PCB design solution. CADSTAR Lite is limited to PCB designs of 4 layers and 2000 pins.
Signal Integrity
CADSTAR SI Verify offers a complete concurrent and post-layout signal integrity solution that enables engineers, layout designers and specialists within a development team to collaborate, organize, constrain, and verify their design in a seamless process. This helps them work more effectively, minimize costs, and improve overall time to market.

MRP-Link
MRP-Link*, the component list and BOM management system, comprises several powerful CAD manufacturer-neutral modules. An SQL database is used as the central element that ensures maximum flexibility for optimised and rapid integration into ERP/PLM systems.
Top features and benefits
- Automatic bi-directional synchronisation minimises errors when creating designs
- The availability of alternative and preferred components safeguards the use of the best components from both a technical and commercial point of view
- The ongoing creation of BOM’s facilitates realistic costing with scenario analyses
- The integration of non-electrical components during BOM creation facilitates parallel planning for all components.
