Hello Babid

 

I think that must of the experienced IBIS creators use their own
developed tools. 

 

I am not familiar with any commercial tool that can produce IBIS models
with all the flexibility and options needed (not even mentioning ease of
use). Usually the IBIS production phase is very tedious unless you are
equipped with tools that cover all your needs.

I will not recommend a particular IBIS creation tool, but can say that
they are generally found as offerings from the companies who produce
IBIS simulators.

 

As for s2ibis3, notable shortcomings are that it does not calculate
C_comp and it will "double count" on-die termination currents by placing
them in both the [Ground Clamp] and [Power Clamp] curves. Converting
differential output buffers will require some manual intervention. The
commercial tools tend to take away the pain of these issues.

 

One consideration: buffer models that require clocked initialization
sequences are increasingly common, and nearly impossible to convert with
s2ibis3. But I'm not sure how well any available tools handle these,
since the tools tend to use DC analysis to extract I/V curves and those
buffer models simply do not work in a DC analysis. I have in the past
resorted to rewriting s2ibis2 to use transient analysis instead of DC
analysis for I/V curves. It is possible that some other tools may have
also done this.

 

Unfortunately I find myself having to generalize about all of this. You
would have to contact the various vendors to get the specifics.

 

Mike

Hello,

 

I am new to creating IBIS models, I am planning to use s2ibis3 tool from
north carolina university for IBIS model creation for the single ended
buffers. Is there any limitations with this free tool? What is the best
tool for creating IBIS models.?

 

-Thanks,
