Hi IBIS experts,
I have the same problem as Muthu Lakshmi. I don't really understand how the
parser calculated the DC end points from the IV table... If anyone can
kindly show me how it works or know where to find the information on the
internet, it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Allen Chao

  Hello Muthu Lakshmi,

  I think there is something wrong with your IBIS model. The DC end points
calculated from the I-V tables should match the V-T end points (logic
levels). If the error is within 2% you should get a warning, otherwise an
error. The difference you mention is very big.

  The DC end points are calculated from the I-V tables (therefore you don't
see the end points of the V-T table). The I-V tables are derived by sweeping
a voltage at the output and measuring the resulting current. By applying a
certain load the voltages from the logic high and low level are calculated
from the pull-up and pull-down curve (and of course they should be near the
waveform end point voltages). The V-T data is used to describe the
transition between the logic levels calculated from the I-V data.

  I would suggest that you contact Cypress to ask if this model is OK.

  With kind regards,

  Hi All,

  I need IBIS expert's advice on the following.

  I get the following warning when checking the IBIS model.

  Warning - Model bp_usb_hs: The [Rising Waveform]
       with [R_fixture]=45 Ohms and [V_fixture]=0V
       has TYP column DC endpoints of 0.00V and 0.38v, but
       an equivalent load applied to the model's I-V tables yields
       different voltages ( 1.14V and 1.06V),
       a difference of 99.99% and 64.28%, respectively.

  Warning - Model bp_usb_hs: The [Falling Waveform]
       with [R_fixture]=45 Ohms and [V_fixture]=0V
       has TYP column DC endpoints of 0.00V and 0.38v, but
       an equivalent load applied to the model's I-V tables yields
       different voltages ( 1.14V and 1.06V),
       a difference of 99.99% and 64.28%, respectively.

  Warning - Model bp_usb_hs: The [Rising Waveform]
       with [R_fixture]=45 Ohms and [V_fixture_min]=0V
       has MIN column DC endpoints of 0.00V and 0.37v, but
       an equivalent load applied to the model's I-V tables yields
       different voltages ( 1.09V and 0.93V),
       a difference of 99.99% and 60.23%, respectively.

  Warning - Model bp_usb_hs: The [Falling Waveform]
       with [R_fixture]=45 Ohms and [V_fixture_min]=0V
       has MIN column DC endpoints of 0.00V and 0.37v, but
       an equivalent load applied to the model's I-V tables yields
       different voltages ( 1.09V and 0.93V),
       a difference of 99.99% and 60.23%, respectively.

  Warning - Model bp_usb_hs: The [Rising Waveform]
       with [R_fixture]=45 Ohms and [V_fixture_max]=0V
       has MAX column DC endpoints of 0.00V and 0.39v, but
       an equivalent load applied to the model's I-V tables yields
       different voltages ( 1.77V and 1.83V),
       a difference of 100.00% and 78.72%, respectively.

  Warning - Model bp_usb_hs: The [Falling Waveform]
       with [R_fixture]=45 Ohms and [V_fixture_max]=0V
       has MAX column DC endpoints of 0.00V and 0.38v, but
       an equivalent load applied to the model's I-V tables yields
       different voltages ( 1.77V and 1.83V),
       a difference of 100.00% and 79.26%, respectively.

  Please tell me the impact of this warning in simulation. I use XTK for the
simulation. Eventhough the rise and fall VT curve values range from 0V to
0.38V in the IBIS model, I get 1.04V to 1.14V wave form. How is this related
with this. I am using Cypress "CY7C65640" hub controller's IBIS model.

  Awaiting your earliest reply.

  Note: One IBIS parser gives the above warnings and another parser gives
them as Errors.
         I do not know whether files can be attached with this mail. If it
is OK, I can send the IBIS model.

  thanks & regards
