Hello Venu Just to add one more possibility doe's your buffer has a feedback? Could you attached the IBIS model, or show the I(V) and V(t) curves? -- Regards Itzik Peleg Board Technology Group Marvell Semiconductor Israel Ltd 6 Hamada Street Mordot HaCarmel Industrial Park Yokneam 20692, ISRAEL Email - itzikpe@marvell.com Tel - +972 4 9091192 Cell - +972 54 4452482 Fax - +972 4 9091501 WWW Page: http://www.marvell.com <BLOCKED::http://www.marvell.com> ======================================================================== This message may contain confidential, proprietary or legally privileged information.

I have verified the programming options of driver and it's fine. Here, I am attaching the correlation waveforms of the simulations by using a 0.1 ohm resistor instead of transmission line in both load (5pF & 30pF) cases. Still, I am seeing a bad correlation in 30pF case. Please ignore my previously attached *.PDF. Once again thanks for your response.

Your IBIS driver in the 30pf case seems to be taking several round-trips to charge the load where the HSpice driver doesn't - if this is a programmable driver, is it possible the driver settings for the two plots are different? In the top plot for the 30pf case, the IBIS driver looks like a much weaker output with a faster slew rate to me ... Todd.

If I replace the 5pF load with 30pF correlation is bad (particularly in 2nd page waveform of attached PDF). Could some one comment on this, where it is going wrong? Your comments/inputs are highly appreciated.
