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

Multiple Supply Voltages: implement it flat or hierarchical?

-   If the design is too large to implement flat, or if there are many legacy hierarchical blocks, it might be worthwhile implementing it in a hierarchical fashion

-   If the design is not too large, and there aren't many legacy hierarchical blocks, flat is the better way to go, since the tool can then utilize inter-power domain knowledge (e.g. CTS, SI analysis, optimization etc)

Questions? Comments? Any other situation where you would implement your MSV design hierarchical/flat?

If my design is partitioned very clean, which means both boundary path are register 2 register without any glue logic. Then I just use the hierarchical flow and then add level shifters at the top level? Is there any hint?

I would suggest that you run your design through Conformal Low Power (CLP) to make sure that there is no missing level shifter and that the level shifters are connected to the correct voltage supply.
