[IBIS-Users] RE: [ibis-macro] Use of IBIS-AMI models for standard interfaces by standards groups?

Mike,

You can be assured that private (proprietary) versions of these models do
exist, and in fact are part of the library that SiSoft delivers with its QCD
product.

Subject: [ibis-macro] Use of IBIS-AMI models for standard interfaces by
standards groups?

I have been studying several industry interface specifications in detail
lately; specifically, SAS2 (available through www.t10.org
<http://www.t10.org> ) and PCI Express Gen. 3 (consult www.pci-sig.com
<http://www.pci-sig.com> ; membership may be required for document access).
Because of the high speeds of both, equalization is required and schemes
such as DFE and CTLE are described in considerable detail. Some of these
kinds of specifications include equations for how a "spec reference"
receiver is supposed to operate for simulation purposes.

None of the industry interface documents I have read so far mentions
IBIS-AMI however, though some explicitly mention StatEye or even refer to
the standard group's own software or code for performing some simulation
tasks. SAS2 even provides MATLAB code for one analysis procedure as part of
the specification document.

Is this not an opportunity? Could one of our more enterprising readers use
the industry specification equations to create a "spec reference" IBIS-AMI
model for simulation purposes? This would certainly be a benefit both to
the standard involved as well as to IBIS-AMI adoption, not to mention the
individual or organization that actually releases the model. While I'm
certain that private versions may exist, I would like to suggest a public
release of one or more of these specification models.

Any volunteers?
