RE: [IBIS-Users] simulating ringing behavior

Thanks Graham for your inputs.

 

I am using the same load circuit on both the spice as well as ibis
simulator.

 

As you have correctly deduced, I have set up the ibis file to extract
the output buffer structure. How do I incorporate the band gap generator
in the ibis extraction. Any pointers would be helpful.

 

Thanks

Anand

Hi Anand,

 

Are you using the same load circuit in Spice as in the IBIS simulator?
For example, if you're using an RLC component terminator in Spice then
it pays to use the same RLC circuit in IBIS simulator (as opposed to a
transmission line).

 

Another suggestion would be: perhaps your S2I file is only setup to
model the output buffer structure (typically the case). It seems that
you are incorporating a bandgap generator in the Spice deck to reach
2.6V low logic voltage, so its contribution to the ripple would be
modeled in Spice but obviously ignored by an IBIS extraction of an
output buffer structure.

I want to simulate the ringing behavior found in following signal in
IBIS. This snapshot is from the spice simulation.

(logic high - 3.3v ; logic low - ringing between 2.65 - 2.75v)

 

 

 

 

The ibis simulation yields the following waveform

 

 

 

The logic low's ringing is not captured in IBIS.

 

I tried changing the numerical algorithm from TRAP to GEAR in spice
simulation to make sure it is not a numerical artifact. The following
are the rising and falling tables

R_fixture = 50

V_fixture = 3.3

As one can see in the Falling table the waveform cycles between 2.65 and
2.76 but it does not get reflected when the file is simulated.

Any pointers in getting ringing behavior on the ibis simulation would be
helpful.

 

Is there any setting in the spice file that needs to set? I am using the
following:

+ typ=typ

+ ramp_fwf =1

+ ramp_rwf =1

 

 

Thanks

Anand
