Many of you already received communications about the move of the Cadence user community into cadence.com. And many of you have already joined, with over 4000 registrations in the first two weeks.

The new Cadence Community enhances the ability of Cadence users to connect and collaborate. In addition to moving the community into cadence.com -- enabling single sign-on for community, Sourcelink and Cadence events -- the new site is organized around nine technology segments, giving you easy access to product information, training, forums and blogs. Some of the new features include:
  • Ability to respond to posts via e-mail
  • Technology-specific blogs
  • Latest Web 2.0 social networking capabilities
  • Public profile options
  • Private messaging
  • Friends lists
Visit the new Cadence Community today at www.cadence.com/community and join the discussions!

Registration note: Due to the scope of the enhancements and the new SSO registration system, we were not able to migrate existing cdnusers.org member accounts. So new registrations are required, but this enables a broader set of functionality we think you'll enjoy.

Forum note: Under the guidance of forum moderators, we have taken the 20+ cdnusers.org forums and consolidated them into 11 forums on the new site. Posts have been brought over so you can leverage that posting history. CDNusers forums will be set to read only starting 7/30, and cdnusers.org will be redirected to the new community on 8/4.

Best regards,
Mike and Tom

hi, is there anyone know how to run SPICE macromodeling?

i receive some help from a friend, but i still can not run it.

here is the procedure from my friend.
1. Create a symbol for the component.
2. Copy that symbol to a view called "spectre" in the library manager
3. Do Tools->CDF->Edit CDF in the CIW
4. Change the form to "Base", and pick the cell.
5. Go down to the "Simulation Information" section, and click on the Edit
button.
6. Change the simulator to "spectre", and then:
Fill in the Terminal Order as the names of the symbol pins, in the
order in which they occur in the spice macromodel subckt header.
Either specify the component name as the name of the subckt, or
specify the component name as "subcircuit", and add a parameter
(further up the CDF form) called either "model" or "macro", where the
default value is the name of the subckt.

Then when you create a schematic, and have it wired up, and start
Tools->Analog Design Environment, you can then include the macro
model as a model file.

however, after following this procedure, i will get a error, which shows " Error found by spectre during circuit read-in. no circuit given." do you know how to solve this? Thanks a lot.

attach my error message, CDF setting, and model library.
