RE: Model name question

You know,
The real issue is usually:
Does the model and part names match up to the users part names in the
schematic capture and layout programs.
You get that right and you will just naturally be changing the names in the
IBIS models.

  No, it won't get confused at all. But one of the models will be wrong,
unless the toolset has done something to render the component/buffer name
associations unique. Like prepending the component name to the buffer name,
as in Mike LaBonte's reply.

  By default, SPECCTRAQuest uses the prepend method, for what it's worth.

    Many of the responses kind of did that already, but
    here I go anyway: Will a simulation tool get confused
    if there are identical model names in two different
    IBIS files used in the same simulation?

    Arpad,
    Do you mind trying to rephrase your question ?

      All,
      I would like to find out whether there is a need to include the
      component name as part of the buffer names for the [Model]
      keyword in an IBIS file. The reasoning goes like this:

      If there are two different IBIS files with buffer names inside
      them which are the same (while the electrical characteristics
      of the models are different) and these two models are used in
      the same simulation, could the tool lose track of which one is
      which?

      Do tools make these names unique for simulations to prevent
      this from happening so that me as a model maker wouldn't have
      to worry about this?

      Thanks,
