Re: [IBIS-Users] way to extract rising and falling waveform in differential cells

Hello Andy,

 That means we can't make IBIS model that work at 1ghz. I think we can
make IBIS models at such high frequency. Now I put both rising and
falling database in my model and it is parsed by golden parser without
any problem but still result are not good at 622Mhz.
  Is this also problem from simulator. I am using eldo (AMS CADENCE)for
validation.

Regards
Akhilesh
