------------------------------------------------------------------------------- File Name: MODELS.txt Revision: v0.2 Description: This is the Readme File for the models provided in this IBIS AMI Evaluation Toolkit from Cadence Design Systems, Inc. Author: Ambrish Varma (c) Cadence Design Systems, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MODELS INCLUDED IN THIS TOOLKIT ------------------------------- The Model included in this toolkit is a RX Continuous Time Filter (CTF) and is named IBIS_AMI_RX.dll INTRODUCTION ------------ This RX model does not have clock recovery and has fixed coefficients. The INIT function in the model does not modify the impulse response. A waveform passed to the GetWave call will undergo equalization. In summary, -The model does not modify the impulse response in the init call. -It does not write a clk output. -Tested for 6.25GBPS data rate. MODIFYING THE MODELS -------------------- A very basic method of modifying the model is to vary the parameters that the model accepts. The parameters of the IBIS_AMI_RX.dll is stored in the .ami file IBIS_AMI_RX.ami . Advanced users can add or modify a function in the INIT or GetWave functions to alter the behavior of the model.
