CR-5000 Lightning was created to meet the demands of increased electronics design complexity resulting from the growth in density, miniaturization and multi-functionality of products.

The unique technology was born from collaboration between R&D teams in  Japan, the UK and Germany. Combines PCB design and simulation for fast, efficient design that enables users to solve high-speed design issues early in the process. 

Fully integrated design environment into CR-5000 Board Designer and CR-5000 System Designer ensures a fully adopted frontloading approach, allowing users to share information through a unified database within the high-speed design environment. In-depth analysis and what-if capabilities available throughout the design process enable engineers to explore design scenarios, trading off signal integrity parameters such as crosstalk, timing or EMI requirements, against mechanical and thermal constraints.

Offers:

Unified and shared design constraints, to eliminate complexities associated with separate design and provide control for activities such as circuit design, floor plans and board design;

Unification and communication between board design and system design with high-speed constraints and analysis;

Unified Analysis Engine Sharing;

and Frontloaded Verification.

Additional features include 'Trunking', H-Tree Routing and Interactive Lengthening.
