RE: [IBIS-Users] hspice vs IBIS model correlation at different capacitive loads

Venu,
 
How long is the transmission line you're using ... about 1ns?
 
Your IBIS driver in the 30pf case seems to be taking several round-trips
to charge the load where the HSpice driver doesn't - if this is a
programmable driver, is it possible the driver settings for the two
plots are different?  In the top plot for the 30pf case, the IBIS driver
looks like a much weaker output with a faster slew rate to me ...

Subject: [IBIS-Users] hspice vs IBIS model correlation at different
capacitive loads



Hi Gurus,

I have an ATA* IBIS model and it is correlating well with hspice model
when I am using a 5pF load followed by a transmission line. If I replace
the 5pF load with 30pF correlation is bad (particularly in 2nd page
waveform of attached PDF). 

Could some one comment on this, where it is going wrong?

Your comments/inputs are highly appreciated.

Thanks & Best Regards,

Venu
