[IBIS-Users] RE: Question regarding .pkg versus simple RLC

Frank,

From a syntax point of view, you can make models with the
same exact data in all formats (if you use the lowest
common syntax). However, since the more elaborate formats
allow you more detail, chances are that you will not find
numerical matches. It will all depend on the extraction
methodologies, and assumptions.

RLC in the [Pin] section of an IBIS model. Assuming that's the case, do
simulators actually take advantage of this additional information? Are
there cases where a .pkg file is preferred? Are there cases when it's
not preferred, such as where its added complexity may cause problems?
