Tag-line:
Derrick, you asked about my division within HP. Here is a short summary for
the both of you. HP EEsof Division was formed in May 1994 as a byproduct of
the merging of two high frequency analog design companies -- HP's High
Frequency Design Software group based in Santa Rosa, Calif., and EEsof High
Frequency Design Software based in Westlake Village, Calif. HP acquired EEsof
in Oct. 1993, and we are consolidating our products, etc., to have a unifed
high frequency analog CAE product line. HP EEsof division is physically
located in the two sites today and will be for the future.
Our strengths are high frequency models and analog simulators that truly
account for physical effects in layout. Traditionally used by RF and
microwave designers, many doing high speed digital design have used our tools
to simulate the analog performance of interconnects, packages, etc.
Our interest is in tracking industry standards groups like IBIS, to see how
our products may use this technology in the future.

Cadlab / Analog System Engineering
Bahnhofstrasse 32
D-33102 Paderborn, Germany
Support: Siemens Nixdorf uses the simulation program FREACS (Fast
REflection And Crosstalk Simulator) for signal integrity
analysis within the EMC-Workbench. Siemens Nixdorf can read IBIS
Version 1.1 files and translate the IBIS models into FREACS
models. Siemens Nixdorf uses an IBIS parser, developed by
Siemens Nixdorf, and a semi-automatic process for the
parametrization of the FREACS macromodels. The translation of
IBIS to FREACS is available as a service for customers.
A fully automated process will be developed when there are more
IBIS models available.
Additionally, so called 'reference lists' are set-up that are
used by the interface (XLIN) between the EMC-Workbench and the
FREACS macromodel library. These reference lists consist of
circuit informations in a special language named HINAC
(Hierachical Naming Convention), where macromodel data is
assigned to pins of a component using IBIS-informations, as
well.
In this way a controlled set-up of a library is possible using
IBIS-files as basis.
Detailed information will be available on request.

Houston, TX 77251
Support: TI has a three-pronged attack on IBIS support. TI is working on
a scheme to automatically generate IBIS models from TI Spice
simulations (TI's proprietary Spice dialect), on an automatic
means to generate C code to be linked in to TI Spice as a User
Defined Element from an IBIS model, and an automatic means to
create the Spice equivalent of the IBIS model from the IBIS
model specification.
The latter method differs from the second in that it uses
skeletonized Spice primitive elements in the form of a
subcircuit, while the second actually generates C code and
compiles it for dynamic linking.
