It is obvious that most, if not all the above aspects and requirments are quite conflicting and need a balanced trade-off. State-of-the-art PCB design software like Zuken’s CR-8000 can assist designers in achieving the requested performance metrics with integrated calculation and simulation tools.  

CR-8000 offers several advanced features for optimizing PCB designs. It includes integrated signal and power integrity analysis, allowing engineers to simulate and ensure optimal performance across all layers. A stack-up planning feature simplifies layer sequencing and material selection to reduce interference. Additionally, the software provides real-time impedance calculation, automatically checking impedance during track routing to ensure consistency and accuracy, ultimately enhancing signal integrity and reducing design errors.
