Fabio, You are correct on the first one, and almost correct on the second. 1) The edge rate of the stimulus to an IBIS model will not change its output edge rate, but it will shift it, depending on how the tool implements the threshold on the stimulus input of the IBIS model. This is not related to the IBIS Vinh and Vinl (or related) parameters. The IBIS specification doesn't say anything about how the threshold of the input stimulus should be detected by the IBIS model implementation. 2) If you clock the IBIS model faster than the V-t curve can handle it you would need to make a new model, but not only a new model, but also a new chip. The fact that a V-t curve goes only so fast indicates that the chip itself can't go faster. So no matter how hard you try to make a new set of V-t curves, you won't succeed unless you redesign the chip itself...

(could be only a little shift time in the Output?) - if I change the input clock frequency (fck), the Output response is correct until fck is under the frequency used in the V-T tables generation. (if I want to use an higher clock frequency, I have to generate a new model with differents V-T tables) are that right? many thanks, Fabio ________________________________ From: owner-ibis-users@server.eda.org [mailto:owner-ibis-users@server.eda.org] On Behalf Of Muniswara Reddy Vorugu Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 12:00 PM To: Fabio BRINA; ibis-users@server.eda.org; ibis@server.eda.org Subject: [IBIS-Users] RE: [IBIS] input signal for model usage Hi, The OUTPUT of I/O ( IBIS model) does not depend on the Rise/Fall slew at the input of I/O ( say A_in ). If you mean. Can you have different LOW/HIGH duration? You can give different clock/pulse frequency, but there is an upper limit of the clock. The upper limit of the clock frequency is limited by the duration of the V-T tables/Ramp time. Thanks, Muniswar From: owner-ibis@eda.org [mailto:owner-ibis@eda.org] On Behalf Of Fabio BRINA Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 3:55 PM To: ibis-users@eda.org; ibis@eda.org Subject: [IBIS] input signal for model usage Hello IBIS experts, Once an IBIS model has been created, can be used in different Input speeds? In other words: if I consider an I/O model, Can I use every input Pulse with several rise/fall time Or I have to use only the same pulse used in the model creations? I hope is clear what I mean.
