Draft for preliminary discussion. Goal is to develop checklist and documentation. Timeframe is open. Original draft: Lynne Green, Sept 2009 1) Parser(s) pass IBIS file call calls model file in same directory Parsers available for SPICE, HSPICE, *-AMS, tool-specific languages 2) Data Checks IBIS language call matches model file's language Parameters passed to model file are accepted by (used in) model file Port/Interconnect mapping to physical comopnent or structure Parameters passed with correct names and resonable values [External Circuit] and keywords have correct data [External Circuit] has correct pin/port mapping Differential checks (such as, polarity same for [model], [component] and [diff pin]) 3) Simulation with any driver and/or resistive load, as appropriate Correct DC operating point Correct response in time domain, if active Correct response in frequency domain, if passive 4) Comparison of time or frequency domain simulation to bench test data 5) Extend comparison if model includes additional effects Core Icc SSN and Power integrity Thermal feedback etc.
