Shulong, I will start with a quote from the IBIS specification from the [External Model] section: | The [Diff Pin] keyword is still required within the same | [Component] definition when [External Model] describes a true | differential buffer. The models referenced by each pin listed | under [Diff Pin] MUST be the same. This means that you must have two pins on the [Pin] list calling the SAME model name, and these two pins must be associated as a differential pair using the [Diff Pin] keyword. What may be confusing about this is that we have are instantiating a [Model] in which we have a true differential [External Model] that has two I/O terminals. The name of this single [Model] is mentioned twice on the [Pin] list, but regardless of that, it is instantiated only once, because it contains a true differential model having two I/O terminals. (If the [Model] contained a normal single ended model, it would be instantiated once for each pin, a total of two times). I hope this gave an answer to your question.
