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

Hello Michael,

On behalf of Agilent EEsof I am volunteering to create and provide non
proprietary version of IBIS AMI models for these standards.

Best regards,
Sanjeev

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) and PCI
Express Gen. 3 (consult 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?
