    Just wanted you all to know that there is another place for you to ask
    questions and get information about analog, RF, and mixed-signal
    simulation. It is The Designer's Guide Community, and you can find it
    at www.designers-guide.org.

    Enjoy,
    -Ken

    Indeed. I can personally vouch for both Ken and Henry who are great
    educators, (as are Andrew, & Ed, and others) who work hard at helping
    the design community as a whole by leveraging their immense design
    experience.

    In addition to Ken's fantastic "Designers' Guide Community" site, there
    is also the open "Cadence Designer Network" user community:
    http://www.cadence.com/support/usergroup/index.aspx
    which I had a small role in helping get going in the beginning.

    Interestingly, Ken Kundert himself is featured this week in the Cadence
    Designer Network community for custom-ic designers:
    http://www.cdnusers.org/Technologies/CustomIC/tabid/113/Default.aspx

    Sadly, note that the wonderful Cadence Repository for Electronic
    Transfer & Education ( http://crete.cadence.com ) is no longer
    available to users (AFAIK) - so the avenue of obtaining complete
    designs with complete design kits and documentation for university
    purposes just got a little bit tougher for university students.

    I guess that itself underscores all the more, the need for sites like
    the Designer's Guide and the Designer's Network and for the USENET
    comp.cad.cadence community as a whole!

    As always, I hope this helps others,
    John Gianni

    So that everyone benefits, what other useful broad-category boards have
    an active EDA forum tailored to interactively assist in answering
    questions from Cadence users?

    1. cdn users ... http://www.cdnusers.org
    2. designers' guide ... http://www.designers-guide.org
    3. eda board ... http://www.edaboard.com
    4. usenet newsgroup ...
    http://groups.google.com/groups?group=comp.cad.cadence
    5. ???

  6. If Cadence would have provided space for a wiki, you could have inserted
    this information there and it would be a lot easier to find it again than
    on groups.google.com as you have to know what you are looking for.

    Maybe the guys at the designers guide find it feasible to add a wiki?
