Tom,

Thank you for your reply. I am starting with a Spectre netlist. I have
tried s2ibis to make a model for LVPECL.
I noticed some differences. ECL has a supply of 0V (plus) and -5.2V (neg).
My circuit has a supply of 3.3V (plus) and 0V (neg).
The pulldown table ranges from 1.1V to 3.3V (the pull down reference has
been set to 3.3V, the pull-up reference as well), followed by ten lines of
garbage. A collegue of mine has changed to pragram a bit so the pull down
curve starts at 0V and ends at 2.2V (still followed by ten lines of
garbage).
Is this a correct range?
What does the simulator that uses the IBIS model do with the information
that it is an output-ECL model type? And how are the data tables
interpreted in conjunction with the ECL_model type?

With kind regards,

What are you starting with? A SPICE description or are you going to make
the model from measurements? If you start with SPICE there is a spice to
ibis program that you can download from the ibis home page. If you are
starting from measurements then you will need a lot of equipment to make
the measurements. You will have to manually convert the measurements to
the ibis data.
 
Simulators use the output_ecl line to know how to handle ECL. In IBIS ECL
models are slightly different than standard CMOS or TTL drivers. In CMOS
or TTL the pulldown current is sunk into the ground plane and the pullup
current is sourced from the supply. With PECL both the pullup and
pulldown are sourced from the supply. So in PECL the pulldown is
referenced to the supply, not ground. The simulator needs to know this
when it is using the IV tables.

Dear all,

I think I mailed my question too early since I subscribed to the user
group at the same time. So I'll post it again, please see below.

1. How can I make an IBIS model of a (LV)PECL model?
2. What does an IBIS simulator do with the model type information (like
output_ECL)?

Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
