RE: [IBIS-Users] IBIS - AMI - questions

Anand,

1)  As far as I know there are several vendors who support IBIS-AMI,
    including my employer, Mentor.  I will let the Synopsys people
    answer your question about HSPICE specifically.
2)  To my knowledge there is no Cookbook on IBIS-AMI available yet.
    However, you can browse through the presentations on the topic
    on the IBIS web page and get some ideas from them.
    http://www.vhdl.org/pub/ibis/summits/index-bydate.htm
3)  A full fledged .IBS file alone is not going to help you much
    because there is really not much in the .IBS file other than a
    pointer to the AMI DLL and its parameter file (.ami).  What you
    need is a good example (i.e. a working DLL) with an appropriate
    parameter file (.ami) and a simulator that can run them.

I hope this helps,

Arpad

Subject: [IBIS-Users] IBIS - AMI - questions

Hi,

I had a few questions regarding the IBIS AMI which has been included in
the IBIS 5.0. I read through the BIRD document and looked at the
evaluation kit from SiSoft for AMI. 

(1) Are AMI constructs supported by Hspice or any other simulator?
(2) Is there any IBIS cookbook style document which describes how to do
the modeling? 
(3) A full-fledged IBIS (*.ibs) file with the proposed AMI constructs
would really help my understanding.

Thanks
Anand
