Hi all,

I have several IBIS questions:
 
1. I was wondering how an IBIS simulator read and interpret the data
tabulated in an IBIS file? What is the common algorithm used by most of the
        simulators? For example a simple driver and receiver interconnected
by a transmission line. Then how do the data in pullup/pulldown/clamp/ramp
play their roles in forming the simulation waveform? Can one tell what
data constitute to a particular portion of the waveform?

2. Lumped RLC package is often used in IBIS models. Can they be used in
higher frequency environment? Will parasitics in an IBIS file
(c_comp,C_pkg,C_pin,L_pkg,L_pin) alter the output impedance as
        operating frequency goes higher? Is there a maximum frequency that a
package model can withstand?
        If that is the case, is distributed package model a better choice?
How do we go about it?

Can someone shed some light here?

Have a nice day.
Thks & Rgds,
 
Shee Kian Wong
