Siemens Nixdorf
  Contact: Werner Rissiek, Olaf Rethmeier
  Email: wr@cadlab.cadlab.de, olaf@cadlab.cadlab.de
  Phone: ++49-5251-284-155, ++49-5251-284-222, Fax: ++49-5251-284-105
  Address: Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG
            Cadlab / Analog System Engineering
            Bahnhofstrasse 32
            D-33102 Paderborn, Germany
  Support: Siemens Nixdorf uses the simulation program FREACS (Fast
            REflection And Crosstalk Simulator) for signal integrity
            analysis within the EMC-Workbench. Siemens Nixdorf can read IBIS
            Version 1.1 files and translate the IBIS models into FREACS
            models. Siemens Nixdorf uses an IBIS parser, developed by
            Siemens Nixdorf, and a semi-automatic process for the
            parametrization of the FREACS macromodels. The translation of
            IBIS to FREACS is available as a service for customers.

            A fully automated process will be developed when there are more
            IBIS models available.

            Additionally, so called 'reference lists' are set-up that are
            used by the interface (XLIN) between the EMC-Workbench and the
            FREACS macromodel library. These reference lists consist of
            circuit informations in a special language named HINAC
            (Hierachical Naming Convention), where macromodel data is
            assigned to pins of a component using IBIS-informations, as
            well.

            In this way a controlled set-up of a library is possible using
            IBIS-files as basis.

            Detailed information will be available on request.

  Phone: (713) 274-4146, Fax (713) 274-3911
  Address:
            
  Support: TI has a three-pronged attack on IBIS support. TI is working on
            a scheme to automatically generate IBIS models from TI Spice
            simulations (TI's proprietary Spice dialect), on an automatic
            means to generate C code to be linked in to TI Spice as a User
            Defined Element from an IBIS model, and an automatic means to
            create the Spice equivalent of the IBIS model from the IBIS
            model specification.

            The latter method differs from the second in that it uses
            skeletonized Spice primitive elements in the form of a
            subcircuit, while the second actually generates C code and
            compiles it for dynamic linking.
