RE: [IBIS-Users]: Using HSPICE to run IBIS model

Bonnie,

Open drain means there is no pullup in the IO. Given the circuit below , I
w3ould not expect to see the circuit rise to a 1 except via leakage
currents. Put a pullup resistor on the output pin.

Hi Bonnie,

  I am sure HSPICE supports all kinds of IBIS buffer types except external
model of VERILOG-AMS or VHDL-A(MS).

  From the mail without the ibis file, it’s hard to figure out the issue.
Would you like contact HSPICE related AC or CAE for help.

Thanks,
Xuefeng

I am using Hspice to run IBIS and comparing it to a Spice simulation. The
Spice simulates the buffer well but the Hspice program is having problems.
My buffer type is I/O_open_drain.

The circuit diagram is:

-------------

I/O / R=0.5 L=2,5e-9

Open- /-----------/\/\/\/\-------|------/\_/\_/\_/\---------|---------O
output

Drain / |
|

Buffer / ---

------------                              ---   C=1e-12           ----
C=5e-12
                                             |

                                         GND                           GND
The I/O buffer is driven with a rail to rail input signal. The output
signal does to reach the rail as expected. It actually looks like:
---------------------expected-output-high---------------------------------

It appears as if Hspice does not recognize the fact that this buffer is
open drain.
Has anyone else experienced this and is the a work around?
