EXECUTABLES

Each link below will download a zip archive containing the selected executable(s) as well as the license agreement file, which must be copied along with the executables in any redistribution. Executables for ibischk7 are available for the following platforms:

• linux_ubuntu_32 (from Apt Software. Compiled on a system with GNU/Linux 3.2.0 kernel, for Ubuntu Linux systems)
• linux_ubuntu_64 (from Apt Software. Compiled on a system with GNU/Linux 3.2.0 kernel, for Ubuntu Linux systems)
• maca_64 from Cadence Design Systems for Mac with Apple silicon)
• maci_64 from Cadence Design Systems for Mac with Intel silicon))
• win_32 (from Apt Software for Windows operating systems)
• win_64 (from Apt Software for Windows operating systems)

The full set of executables is available in one ZIP archive ibischk721_all.zip. Some platform notes:

• Some differences might exist between the 32-bit and 64-bit compilations. For example, the "... equivalent load applied to the model's I-V tables ..." for W1503 calculates 1.42V on 64 bit systems and 1.43V on 32 bit systems for the same test case.
• When checking IBIS files with [Package Model] on Windows, ibischk7 may be unable to locate the .pkg files if the current working directory is on a UNC path. In that case, mapping the network path to a drive letter and running ibischk from the drive letter path is advised.

SHA1 digests are shown below for checking the integrity of each official release executable above. Unzip the contents of the ZIP file above and save the SHA1 checksum file ibischk721_sha1.txt (contents shown below). Then run "sha1sum -c ibischk721_sha1.txt". The report for each file should be "ok" (may need Unix, Linux, or Cygwin):

IBISCHK7 DOCUMENTATION

When “ibischk7” is run with no arguments, IBISCHK7 prints this help message:

IBISCHK7 V7.2.1

IBISfile validation:
This program has been provided free to the electrical
engineering community by the IBIS Open Forum.  The
purpose of this program is to validate that the contents
of ASCII device data in a file specified conform to the 
IBIS specification.
Usage: ibischk7_64       <IBS filename>
     : ibischk7_64  -ebd <EBD filename>
     : ibischk7_64  -pkg <PKG filename>
     : ibischk7_64  -ami <AMI filename>
     : ibischk7_64  -ims <IMS filename>
     : ibischk7_64  -ems <EMS filename>
     : ibischk7_64  -emd <EMD filename>
Usage: ibischk7_64  -caution -numbered      <IBS filename>
     : ibischk7_64  -caution -numbered -ebd <EBD filename>
     : ibischk7_64  -caution -numbered -pkg <PKG filename>
     : ibischk7_64  -caution -numbered -ami <AMI filename>
     : ibischk7_64  -caution -numbered -ims <IMS filename>
     : ibischk7_64  -caution -numbered -ems <EMS filename>
     : ibischk7_64  -caution -numbered -emd <EMD filename>
The flags prior to the file name can be in any order, and the -caution and/or -numbered flags are optional.

One (and only one) file name argument must be provided to perform checking, and the file name extension must be consistent with the file type flag. Independent .ebd, .emd, .pkg and .ami file checking is done using the -ebd, -emd, -pkg and -ami flags, respectively. The -caution flag produces additional Caution messages for all [IBIS Ver] versions. The -numbered flag produces Error, Warning, Notes, and Caution messages with four digit numbers following E, W, N, and C respectively.
