RE: [IBIS] To capture the delay variation with change in IO voltage

Hello, Venu,
 
Problems modeling delay changes with supply changes is a known "feature" of
IBIS.
 
The IBIS Open Forum is actively working on this.  BIRDs 95.6, 97.2, and 98
are part of the solution.  BIRD 95.6 was recently approved.
 
User input is important in addressing timing issues.  You would be welcome
to attend the IBIS Open Forum and IBIS Futures meetings.  For more info on
these meetings (agenda, teleconference passcodes) please contact the IBIS
chair, Michael Mirmak (michael.mirmak@intel.com).
 
Best regards,
Lynne

Subject: [IBIS] To capture the delay variation with change in IO voltage 



Hi Gurus,

I have generated an IBIS model using rated IO voltage(1.5V) and simulated it
at the same IO voltage(1.5V); the matching between 

hspice vs IBIS is very good (1st waveform in attached *.pdf). When I
simulated the same IBIS model with reduced IO voltage (1.1v), 

the matching is poor (2nd waveform) between IBIS and hspice models. IBIS
model is not able to capture the delay variation with supply voltage
variation.

Next, I have re-generated the IBIS model with reduced IO voltage(1.1V) and
the simulation at this voltage(1.1V) gives good matching 

(3rd waveform) between IBIS and hspice models.

Means IBIS model can not be used to see the variation in delay with the
ripples on IO voltage? Is it known limitation?

Are there any techniques/methods exist to build an IBIS model, which can be
used to simulate at an IO

voltage lesser/greater than the voltage at which it is build?

Here, I am attaching a PDF of the waveforms I observed.

Could some one help me in clarifying the above queries?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Venu
