Venu,
 
How long is the transmission line you're using ... about 1ns?
 
Your IBIS driver in the 30pf case seems to be taking several round-trips
to charge the load where the HSpice driver doesn't - if this is a
programmable driver, is it possible the driver settings for the two
plots are different?  In the top plot for the 30pf case, the IBIS driver
looks like a much weaker output with a faster slew rate to me ...
 
Todd.

Subject: [IBIS-Users] hspice vs IBIS model correlation at different
capacitive loads



Hi Gurus,

I have an ATA* IBIS model and it is correlating well with hspice model
when I am using a 5pF load followed by a transmission line. If I replace
the 5pF load with 30pF correlation is bad (particularly in 2nd page
waveform of attached PDF). 

Could some one comment on this, where it is going wrong?

Your comments/inputs are highly appreciated.

Thanks & Best Regards,

Venu
