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

Hey all,

In my design i am having Processor(mpc7457) to L3_cache  interface  when i  did SI analysis for data signal from processor to L3_cache i.e when processor acts as driver and L3_cache as reciver the Noise margin is 642.53 mv and waveform looks like sine wave and when L3_cache   acts as driver and processor as a reciver the  Noise margin is 179.49mv.

Here i am attaching waveforms of both the simulations with the name U29 i.e processor and U30 i.e L3_cache. i need clarification wheather the sine waveforms from  two configrations as explained above are acceptable or not .

Attachment: L3_DATA16.zip

A sine wave is usually a sign that you are driving the buffer at a rate too fast for its edge rate to keep up. In your first figure, you have to determine if your set up and hold margins are acceptable. The U29-U30 looks OK but I can't tell you if you have enough timing margin. You might also want to run a PRBS to see what the eye looks like.

The effect of "too fast" according to edge rate exist also.
But, why don't you low pass filter effect of trace which is modeled into low pass filter.
The high frequency harmonics make wave be sqaure.

Good luck.
