Hello Muthu Lakshmi,

I think there is something wrong with your IBIS model. The DC end points
calculated from the I-V tables should match the V-T end points (logic
levels). If the error is within 2% you should get a warning, otherwise an
error. The difference you mention is very big.

The DC end points are calculated from the I-V tables (therefore you don't
see the end points of the V-T table). The I-V tables are derived by
sweeping a voltage at the output and measuring the resulting current. By
applying a certain load the voltages from the logic high and low level are
calculated from the pull-up and pull-down curve (and of course they should
be near the waveform end point voltages). The V-T data is used to describe
the transition between the logic levels calculated from the I-V data.

I would suggest that you contact Cypress to ask if this model is OK.

With kind regards,

Hi All,

I need IBIS expert's advice on the following.

I get the following warning when checking the IBIS model.

Warning - Model bp_usb_hs: The [Rising Waveform]
      with [R_fixture]=45 Ohms and [V_fixture]=0V
      has TYP column DC endpoints of 0.00V and 0.38v, but
      an equivalent load applied to the model's I-V tables yields
      different voltages ( 1.14V and 1.06V),
      a difference of 99.99% and 64.28%, respectively.

Warning - Model bp_usb_hs: The [Falling Waveform]
      with [R_fixture]=45 Ohms and [V_fixture]=0V
      has TYP column DC endpoints of 0.00V and 0.38v, but
      an equivalent load applied to the model's I-V tables yields
      different voltages ( 1.14V and 1.06V),
      a difference of 99.99% and 64.28%, respectively.

Warning - Model bp_usb_hs: The [Rising Waveform]
      with [R_fixture]=45 Ohms and [V_fixture_min]=0V
      has MIN column DC endpoints of 0.00V and 0.37v, but
      an equivalent load applied to the model's I-V tables yields
      different voltages ( 1.09V and 0.93V),
      a difference of 99.99% and 60.23%, respectively.

Warning - Model bp_usb_hs: The [Falling Waveform]
      with [R_fixture]=45 Ohms and [V_fixture_min]=0V
      has MIN column DC endpoints of 0.00V and 0.37v, but
      an equivalent load applied to the model's I-V tables yields
      different voltages ( 1.09V and 0.93V),
      a difference of 99.99% and 60.23%, respectively.

Warning - Model bp_usb_hs: The [Rising Waveform]
      with [R_fixture]=45 Ohms and [V_fixture_max]=0V
      has MAX column DC endpoints of 0.00V and 0.39v, but
      an equivalent load applied to the model's I-V tables yields
      different voltages ( 1.77V and 1.83V),
      a difference of 100.00% and 78.72%, respectively.

Warning - Model bp_usb_hs: The [Falling Waveform]
      with [R_fixture]=45 Ohms and [V_fixture_max]=0V
      has MAX column DC endpoints of 0.00V and 0.38v, but
      an equivalent load applied to the model's I-V tables yields
      different voltages ( 1.77V and 1.83V),
      a difference of 100.00% and 79.26%, respectively.

Please tell me the impact of this warning in simulation. I use XTK for the
simulation. Eventhough the rise and fall VT curve values range from 0V to
0.38V in the IBIS model, I get 1.04V to 1.14V wave form. How is this
related with this. I am using Cypress "CY7C65640" hub controller's IBIS
model.

Awaiting your earliest reply.

Note: One IBIS parser gives the above warnings and another parser gives
them as Errors.
        I do not know whether files can be attached with this mail. If it
is OK, I can send the IBIS model.

thanks & regards
