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

Todd,

 

Thanks for your inputs. 

 

I have verified the programming options of driver and it's fine. Here, I
am attaching the correlation waveforms of the simulations by using a 0.1
ohm resistor instead of transmission line in both load (5pF & 30pF)
cases. Still, I am seeing a bad correlation in 30pF case.

 

Please ignore my previously attached *.PDF.

 

Once again thanks for your response.

 

Best Reagrds,

Venu

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.

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
