 How Does Your Company Support IBIS?

 Will Hobbs and I are gathering input to make a list of how the member
 companies support IBIS. Some vendors have created a product-specific
 IBIS-to-their model converter, others accept native IBIS models, still
 others may have written application notes describing how to use IBIS data
 in their simulators. Will asked for descriptions from everyone on how
 their company supports IBIS. This information will be given to our field
 sales and applications engineers and marketing folks so we can answer
 customer questions. He also stated that if someone did not want to make
 their information publicly available, we would still like the information
 and would protect the information.

 Please describe how you support IBIS (converter, application note, native
 IBIS models, etc.). Send this information to Derrick Duehren,
 Derrick_Duehren@ccm.hf.intel.com. I will compile the information, and
 make it available to the IBIS Open Forum, excluding that information which
 the vendors do not wish to share publicly.

 To date, I have the following input from HyperLynx, Interconnectix, and
 Intusoft:

 o IBIS support by Linesim Pro from HyperLynx:
   1) Any IBIS file can be used directly as a 'NATIVE' file by Linesim Pro
      Version 3.0 or newer.
   2) A single model in an IBIS file can selected, loaded and viewed
      directly by LineSim Pro.
   3) Several IBIS models can be included in a single file and used as a
      library. Note: this library file still complies completely with the
      IBIS specification and can be checked with the IBIS check program.

 o Interconnectix: Interconnectix product will be able to read IBIS
   Version 1.1 models directly (NATIVE MODE). The product will be able to
   read a text file composed of a library of IBIS models.

 o Intusoft: Takes a customer's netlist or model and translates it into a
   spice model, free of charge. They have the golden parser source but
   haven't, as of yet, automated the process. They're waiting until there
   are more IBIS models available.
