Kevin,

Thanks for your suggestion. I'm using HSPICE 2001.2 and 2001.4. None them
works on this model.

I will check the IV curves as you suggested. In the mean time, I find it hard
to understand that the same model works fine in XTK.

Subject: Re: [IBIS-Users] Simplified model for receiver

I am puzzled why you think the fault is with the IBIS model.

I think you said the simulation looks good with the IBIS driver model in XTK, or with just the IBIS driver model in HSPICE; but that it misbehaves when you add the HSPICE receiver model.  That would seem to indicate that something may be wrong with the HSPICE receiver model.

Is it an encrypted model?

Are there any SCALE or SCALM options anywhere?

In the IBIS models in HSPICE, make sure to include all nodes in your B-elements, do not omit the "optional" ones.  They aren't really optional, if you want correct behavior.

Regards,
Andy

Andy,

Thanks for your reply. Maybe I did not make myself clear in the previous email. Yes,  I don't think there is anything wrong with the IBIS driver model. It works just fine in XTK. However, in HSPICE, when I tested the IBIS driver model by connecting the driver to termination
directly, without SPICE receiver, I got wierd waveform with higher than normal voltage swing and faster edges.

And I do include all the options in the B_element.

Regards

Perry

I want to know some stuff about signal integrity ( IBIS model related ). 
Any recommandation on the theory and tools are appreciated.

Thanks for your response, Bill,

I probably did not asked the right question, I actually more interested in 
how the IBIS model is used in signal integrity check. I actually have the 
ibis models and I want to know how to verify them other than using the 
ibischk tool downloaded from the eda web.  Do you have some information 
about that as well? 

Thanks again.

Hi All


I am a new user of IBIS model.I tried generating the IBIS models for
input and output models using s2ibis2 utility from NCSU .
I am getting some non-monotonic data in the curves.Which I am not able
to understand it's reason.
The IBIS file is attached . Please suggest me some thing where I could
be wrong and what can I do to rectify this problem.

Regards
Anshuli

 filename="README"

This README file describes the v1.1 distribution of s2ibis2.

This is a minor bug-fix release. It affects only those users who were
using Spectre to produce their IBIS files. (Thanks to Ganesh Balamitran
for the bug report.) See the file doc/changes.txt for a description of
the bug.

To try s2ibis2, use the appropriate executable (found in the bin
directory) and use any of the files in the examples/ directory as input.
For example, for a quick test run on Solaris machine, you could try the
following (note that "%" is the prompt symbol, so don't type it):

    % cd examples/ex1
    % ../../bin/s2ibis2.solaris buffer.s2i

The program will execute, and in a few minutes, it will write the file
buffer.ibs. (Note that this example uses the Spectre simulator, so it
should be in your executable path.) You can compare this file to the
file my_buf.ibs in the same directory.

For a more permanent installation, I would suggest renaming the
appropriate executable to s2ibis2, and moving it to an appropriate
directory somewhere in your executable path (or adding the S2IBIS2/bin
directory to your path).

We are distributing the Perl script s2iplt, by Steve Lipa, with s2ibis2.
This script uses gnuplot to plot out all the curves found in an IBIS
file.  It's a handy thing to have.  For information on Perl and gnuplot,
see the README file in the s2iplt directory.

If you have comments, bug reports, or suggestions for features, please
email them to me at:

    awglaser@eos.ncsu.edu

Thanks very much.

Subject: RE: [IBIS-Users] [Fwd: Non_monotonous data in IBIS models]

Non-monotonicity is normal for a bidirectional buffer and happens as a consequence of subtracting the clamp currents from the total currents to generate the pullup and pulldown current tables.  In the region where the clamps are effective, the pullup and pulldown currents frequently have non-monotonic behavior.

If ibischk were clever enough to sum the currents back together before checking for monotonicity, most of these warnings would go away.

Anyway, IBIS doesn't care if the data is monotonic.  It's just that some simulators that use IBIS data might be affected.  Technically, IBIS model can have non-monotonic data.

Hi Andy

Thanx for the response.But just wanted to know if this non-monotonic behaviour will be the case for input only or output only buffers also ? The models that I am using are input only and output only buffers .
I don't have any Bi-di buffer .The output buffer is 3-state output buffer .

Regards
Anshuli

Sorry, I really should have said tri-stateable buffers (which effectively includes bi-dir buffers too, since they are tri-stateable).

It tends to happen when you create a buffer model that has both the * Clamp tables and Pulldown, Pullup tables.

Input buffers have only the Clamp tables, so they should be OK.

Output-only buffers that don't tri-state should be OK (if the output drivers really are monotonic) because they have only the Pulldown and Pullup tables.

The monotonicity tends to happen as a result of subtracting the Clamp currents from the total currents, to get the Pulldown and Pullup tables.

If input-only buffers or output-only buffers (that don't tri-state) cause non-monotonic warnings, then they really are non-monotonic (or there's something wrong with the measurements or simulations used to create their IBIS models).

Regards,
Andy

Subject: [IBIS-Users] Rising waveform, Fall waveform data tables

Can anyone explain how the simulator uses the Rising/Falling waveform data
tables that are included in an IBIS model.  Some models contain several
tables of data for the Rising/Falling waveform but it is unclear how the
simulator uses this information.  Does the simulator select one table
depending on simulation conditions or does it interpolate across all the
tables?  I know that the information is optional, but I am assuming that in
order to get more accurate simulation results, you should have this waveform
data.  Thanks for any clarification!

Regards,

Subject: RE: [IBIS-Users] Rising waveform, Fall waveform data tables

Hello, Steven,

You are right that V-t tables make the model more accurate
than having just the [Ramp] values.

The IBIS specification does not describe how the tables are
to be used, so not all EDA tools use the tables in exactly the
same way.  SpecctraQuest does use all of the V-t tables.

Two relevant papers available on the web:
http://www.mentor.com/icx/modeling/ibis_modeling.html#documents
1. "The Development of Analog SPICE Behavioral Model
Based on IBIS Model" - by Ying Wang and Han Ngee Tan,
Proceedings of the Ninth Great Lakes Symposium on VLSI,
(March 1999)
2. "Extraction of Transient Behavioral Model of Digital I/O
Buffers from IBIS" - by Peivand Tehrani,Yuzhe Chen and
Jiayuan Fang, 46th IEEE Electronic Components &
Technology Conference (May 28-31, 1996).

Subject: [IBIS-Users] Rising waveform, Fall waveform data tables


Can anyone explain how the simulator uses the Rising/Falling waveform
data tables that are included in an IBIS model.  Some models contain
several tables of data for the Rising/Falling waveform but it is unclear
how the simulator uses this information.  Does the simulator select one
table depending on simulation conditions or does it interpolate across
all the tables?  I know that the information is optional, but I am
assuming that in order to get more accurate simulation results, you
should have this waveform data.  Thanks for any clarification!

Steven McKinney

Akhilesh,

One of the things IBISchk verifies is an IO/Output cell can drive the 
timing reference load specified in the IBIS model (which in the case of 
your cell is a 1Meg resistor to 1.65V) through the standard load 
reference voltage (1.4V in this case). It does this by drawing a load 
line representing the standard load on the IV table and checks that 
Vmeas is within the range is between voltages where the the load line 
crosses the low-state DC curve and the high-state DC curve.

However, there is not enough information above to diagose the problem. 
It could be one of a number of things. If you could make the suspect 
IBIS model available, it would make it much easier to figure out what's 
going on here.

Thanks,

Kevin

this buffer is going to drive outside the package ?
Does it need to be modeled  ? If not than how that load is taken care
off while doing the simulation using IBIS models , 'coz the behaviour of
the I/O will change with different loads. ?

Anshuli,
  I ran into this problem as well.  What I did, was to use the higher
VDD, in your case 3.3V, in the .s2i file.  Then in my library file, I
added the following spice command:

.global gnd vdd vss vddh
bvdd vdd gnd v=(0.52*v(vddh))

This generates 2.6V from the 5V VDD I'm using.  My buffer uses VDDH=5.0V
externally, and VDD=2.6V internally.

Anshuli
	I took a quick look at the IBIS model and have 2 observations. First, 
there is an BUG in the IBIS parser that causes it to flag non-monotonic 
problems in pullups and pulldowns when clamps are seperated out even 
though combined curves are Monotonic.
I have formally submitted this as parser BUG71, lobby your company IBIS 
rep to APPROVE this BUG fix if you don't want to see FALSE error flags.
Second, In your IBIS model there was an addition non-monotonic region 
outside the normal region of operation ( ~ 5 volts) which probably won't 
cause you simulation problems, but from the purest standpoint is wrong.

Regards,
Bob

Hi Anshuli,

Vil & Vih are required for any buffer that can be an output.
	- these are used only by s2ibis2 as stimulus for HSPICE simulation
	- they don't appear in the IBIS model

vinl & vinh are required for any buffer that can be an input (3-state is an
exception i think).
	- these are not used by s2ibis2 for HSPICE simulation
	- they do appear in the IBIS model (s2ibis2 just pastes the given
value)
	- these are the low and high input threshold voltages (eg. 0.8 and
2.0 for TTL)
	  and are used by board level simulators

Prabhu/~

Hi

I am trying to generate the IBIS model for input model with multiple VDD
and VSS supply.I have in by ckt 2 VDDs and 2VSS.One VDD operates at 3.3 and
another at 1.8.The circuitry that is in direct contact with outside world
is working at 3.3 Volt while other circuitry is working on 1.8 V . As there
is no option to model these multi power buses in s2ibis2  utility . What
should I do to eliminate this problem.?

One more thing is Vinl and Vinh parameter must for input model to be
supplied in s2ibis2 utility ?

What is the difference in vinl,vinh and Vil and Vih . ? Where and how
these  parameters should be used ?

If anybody can answer my querries that will be really helpful. ?

To All:

This is the first call for the IBIS East Summit Meeting.

The PCB East conference that usually coincides with the
IBIS Summit has been relocated from Worcester, MA to Boxborough, MA
and the time has been moved to October.  The IBIS Summit
Meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 15, 2002 to avoid conflicting with
the Exhibition portion of the PCB meeting.  We will be holding the meeting
in Westford, MA at NESA's offices.  See http://www.nesa.com/map.html
for directions to NESA.  Westford is about 10 miles north of Boxborough.

We need, and would greatly appreciate the following:
	
           Meeting Participation

	IBIS Presentations

	Sponsors for the lunch that is provided at the meeting.

I look forward to hearing from you all.

Regards,

Kathy Breda
NESA

BACKGROUND

The IBIS Users Group (IBIS East) has been formed under the leadership of
Dr. Edward Sayre from North East Systems Associates, Inc. (NESA) and has
been meeting to consider and forward IBIS model user concerns.  As a result
of East coast meetings, the group has developed an IBIS Accuracy Handbook
document and has initiated the project to format Connector Models.  These
topics plus others of current interest to the EIA IBIS Open Forum will be
discussed at this meeting.

This meeting will be conducted as a formal IBIS Summit Meeting.  Presentation
are expected to be available and archived in an electronic format, and minutes
of the meeting will be issued.  Any pending formal decisions (votes) will be
announced at least two weeks prior to the meeting.

Hi all,

I've seen a lot of LVDS modeling methods only take care of vos (output
offset voltage) or vcm (common mode voltage).
But how come very seldom people make use of vod (output differential
voltage)? Isn't as important as other parameters?
Please advice.

important for the model generation and which method to use. While the Vod is
a model parameter and you can even put it in the model after finishing all
current/wave form tables.

Subject: [IBIS-Users] LVDS modeling method 



Hi all,

I've seen a lot of LVDS modeling methods only take care of vos (output
offset voltage) or vcm (common mode voltage).

But how come very seldom people make use of vod (output differential
voltage)? Isn't as important as other parameters?

Please advice.

Hi,

 

Thanks for your interest. Sorry for not specifying my question clearly. 

 

The LVDS standard specifies a differential output voltage range of 0.25V <
Vod < 0.45V. Also, the terms "common-mode voltage" and "offset voltage"
refer to the average of A and B (the outputs of the driver), (A +B)/2. And
LVDS has a typical output common-mode voltage of 1.25 V. This simply means
that A+B=2.5.

 

Let say if one output is at 1.5V (during sweeping of an external voltage
source), the other output will try to achieve 1V so as to maintain a fixed
Vcm. However, Vod is now 500mV which is out of the Vod range. When one
output is -2V, the other one will be 4.5V, which consequently giving rise to
a Vod of 6500mV. This should not be the behavior of an LVDS buffer.

 

My question was: Is it possible to model an LVDS buffer by controlling both
vcm and vod?

 

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.

First, I modeled LVDS buffer has a voltage swing of 800mV !!. This happened
not only once.
Second, The Vod of a LVDS buffer between 0.25V and  0.45V is at standard
loads. The no load or capacitive load conditions might give higher swings.
In your example of A= -2V then B=4.5V, This is not the dc conditions (Steady
state) This assumed to happen in transient. Over/under shoots are the reason
here to model the buffer in these voltage ranges.

  <P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN 
  style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">The LVDS standard specifies a 
  differential output voltage range of 0.25V &lt; Vod &lt; 0.45V. Also, the 
  terms "common-mode voltage" and "offset voltage" refer to the average of A and 
  B (the outputs of the driver), (A +B)/2. And LVDS has a typical output 
  common-mode voltage of 1.25 V. This simply means that 
  A+B=2.5.</SPAN></FONT></P>

  (during sweeping of an external voltage source), the other output will try to 
  achieve 1V so as to maintain a fixed Vcm. However, Vod is now 500mV which is 
  out of the Vod range. When one output is -2V, the other one will be 4.5V, 
  which consequently giving rise to a Vod of 6500mV. This should not be the 
  behavior of an LVDS buffer.</SPAN></FONT></P>

Subject: [IBIS-Users] HSPICE(.rlc/.sp) files

Hi All,

I have some package model information in the following formats

     Format: HSPICE W Element (.rlc)
     Format: HSPICE (.sp)

I'm using XTK/ScratchPad from Innoveda for SI analysis.

I would like to know the method to include the package files in HSPICE format
along with the IBIS buffer model of the component,
in the topology created in ScratchPad/XTK

Or

Is there a conversion tool available to convert HSPICE model into IBIS/QUAD
format (input format for XTK).
Can anyone please suggest a method to include the package model information?

Thanking you in advance

Thanks & Regards
Suchitha,

Subject: [IBIS-Users] IBIS issue at high frequencies

IBIS gurus,

We are using Avanti HSPICE to correlate the IBIS 
model performance to spice. We notice that the model 
starts misbehaving abruptly as we increase the toggle 
rate.

Our observation has been that the onset of this
misbehavior is a function of the delay through the
buffer. Buffers that have long propagation delays
tend to misbehave at lower toggle rates.

Does anybody have a clue on what may be the cause
of this issue? Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Should I ask at which rate or rise/fall time you generate the model? I mean,
the stimulus of the input side while extracting wave form tables is it fast
or slow compared to the tested frequency?

Subject: RE: [IBIS-Users] IBIS issue at high frequencies

Hi Nirav,

I am not quite sure that you have the same problem as I had with Avanti HSpice a little while ago. I encountered funny effects when a buffer was switched before the end of a waveform was reached, e.g. if a waveform was 1.2ns long but I swiched/toggled the buffer again after less than 1.2ns. I got spikes in the transient analysis. These went away when I toggled the buffer at (1.2+ x)ns.

When I create IBIS models I now make sure that the waveforms are shorter than the fastest bit period the part is intended to run at. I do that by cutting the lead-in time (in a consistent manner for all corners). Below is an excerpt of a conversation that I had with an IBIS model user:

> I believe that the downward spike has to do with the way

This effect may well depend on the version of HSpice.

I hope this helps,

Best Regards,

IBIS gurus,

We are using Avanti HSPICE to correlate the IBIS 
model performance to spice. We notice that the model 
starts misbehaving abruptly as we increase the toggle 
rate.

Our observation has been that the onset of this
misbehavior is a function of the delay through the
buffer. Buffers that have long propagation delays
tend to misbehave at lower toggle rates.

Does anybody have a clue on what may be the cause
of this issue? Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your suggestions. I made rise/fall time same as test

From: "Todd Westerhoff" <twesterh@cisco.com>
Subject: RE: [IBIS-Users] IBIS issue at high frequencies

If you attempt to switch the buffer before the end of the V-T curve sweep,
then you have an abrupt change in the buffer's output state.  The buffer
jumps from the point on the transient curve that was switching to the start
point on the curve you are transitioning to.

You'll see the same problem at any frequency if the DC settling points of
the rise and fall curves are different.  If your rise curve settles at 2.5V
(as an example), and the corresponding fall curve starts at 2.3V, then there
will be an abrupt change (and "spike")at the start of the falling edge.

Bottom line: Herbert is right - attempting to switch an IBIS buffer before
it finishes the V-T sweep can cause weird problems.  Because each
simulator's IBIS implementation is a bit different, the problems you will
see can vary.

IBIS models weren't meant to model inertial delays, and they don't ...

From: "Haque, Moshiul" <mhaque@ti.com>
Subject: [IBIS-Users] IBIS model for FET switch

IBIS Gurus,
I am trying to model a switch with parallel NMOS and PMOS. I am kind of
confused about the description of Series Mosfet keyword in IBIS Version 4
specification. The description says that either of the FET's could be
removed. Thus this model covers all four conditions , off, single NMOS,
single PMOS and parallel NMOS/PMOS. 

1) Does that mean that I have to model NMOS, PMOS and off condition
separately? Or only one Series Mosfet keyword with different VDS is
sufficient to model the switch.
2) How to model the off condition? I thought to model off condition series
current keyword with off sub parameter is necessary.
3) What would be appropriate keyword to model parallel FET switches, series
current or series mosfet?

I have tried to model the switch with series switch keyword. One problem
with this type of model is the error generated due to decreasing current. In
the IBISCHK3.2.9 version the error has been changed to warning. But lot of
the simulator uses the older version of IBISCHK and my concern is that will
this error prevent the simulator from simulating? 

Appreciate any suggestions.

No, do the I-V extraction on the total switch for a given Vgs.

Yes.

Actually the [Off] keyword is necessary.  Also, the Off subparameter
is normally listed in the [Series Switch Groups] table if a completely
off (High-Z or whatever) condition exists.

[Series MOSFET] since it captures some "across" impedance changes as a
function of actual input voltage at one terminal.

No.  Most simulators will allow Warning messages, but will reject models
with Error messages.  Some Warnings are informational to alert the user
of some internal values or characteristics in an otherwise technically
correct model.  There might be philosophical arguments about allowing this,
but that is currently the reason some messages (such as large package
model values) exist.  The non-monotonic I-V characteristic is technically
correct, but some EDA tools might be limited.  So the Warning message
give some guidance to the user that this might be an issue.

      with [R_fixture]=50 Ohms and [V_fixture]=3.3V
      has TYP column DC endpoints of  2.44V and  3.30v, but
      an equivalent load applied to the model's I-V tables yields

Subject: Re: [IBIS-Users] IBIS problem

Akhilesh,

For each VT curve entry in a model, the IBIS parser will take the 
fixture circuit used for that VT curve and draw a load line representing 
the circuit against the IV curves of the same process corner. The DC 
endpoints found, which in your example were 2.30V and 3.30V, are 
determined as the intersection of the load line with the pullup (+ power 
clamp if I/O) and pulldown (+gnd clamp if I/O) IV curves. There are few 
possible causes for this descrepency, however in my experience, the most 
common reason was that the VT curves never reach the DC values. Either 
the VT curves simulation was not run long enough, or the extraction of 
the VT curves did not get the whole curve. I would first check the VT 
curves and see if it looks like they've reached DC.

Hope this helps.
Kevin

Anshuli,
	This utility works reasonably well after you come up the learning 
curve. A lot of companies create there own custom versions as well.

Once you have created an IBIS model, to validate the results, you
simply run both models (spice and IBIS) through your simulator of choice 
and compare the results.

bob

Subject: Re: [IBIS-Users] IBIS problem

Hi Akhilesh,
Based on the error you got I think that there are two possibilities that come up. First, because the endpoint that is causing the error is the starting point for the rising waveform. You may want to look at the plot of this waveform. It is possible that
the spice simulation has a strange starting point or you get a slight ringing on the output before the buffer switches. Secondly, it is possible that the load in your simulation is different than is specified. I think that this is probably not the case,
but you may want to look at the ".sp" file to see the actual loading.

If this is the only error, or warning that you got on the VT curves then I think that you will find that it is probably one of the above two possibilities. 

Good Luck,
Peter

P.s. If you want to send me the .ibs file I can take a quick look and see if I can see the discrepancy.

From: "Mike LaBonte" <milabont@cisco.com>
Subject: RE: [IBIS-Users] IBIS problem

Ibischk must have calculated the current to be 20mA, since
(3.3v - 2.30v) / 50ohms = 20mA. Since the initial endpoint
of a rising edge is examined here, the Pulldown I/V curve
must be drawing 20mA at 2.3V.

I am wondering if one of the clamp curves has significant
leakage current within the buffer operating range, and
ibischk is ignoring other curves in it's calculation.
Although a too-short simulation duration easily causes
mismatches at the final endpoint, it is unusual to see
the initial point come out wrong.

Anshuli,

The reliability of the output data is based on how well the translation
setup was done. It is also based on the original SPICE models you are 
trying to translate. After all, you are simply getting the V/I and V/T 
output coming out of your spice simulation and formatting it to meet the 
IBIS standard.

So, review the IBIS model and validate the model on a simulator.

Subject: [IBIS-Users] On IBIS Model Generation

Hi,

      This might sound very dumb a question, but I dont have an
answer to this. 

       When IBIS model generation for an IO buffer is in progress,
only one package load (a set of RLC parameters) is used to calculate
all the IV curves. Is that valid ? Because in such a case the
I-V curves of buffer would then be dependent of the package load. 

    Shouldn't it be that the calculation be done for various load
points with each load-point providing a set of I-V curves.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks and Regards,
Jairam.

only one package load (a set of RLC parameters) is used to calculate
all the IV curves. Is that valid ? Because in such a case the
I-V curves of buffer would then be dependent of the package load. 

    Shouldn't it be that the calculation be done for various load
points with each load-point providing a set of I-V curves.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks and Regards,
Jairam.

Hi Prabhu,

Thanks for the answer. However the flavour of the question still
remains the same. The buffer drive will depend on the load (might not
just be the package load) that will be hooked up. Should not this
again be varied for generating the IBIS model ?

Thanks and Regards,
Jairam.

Hi Jairam,

You are correct. The buffers characteristics will vary with load.
Since there is no real way to know what load the buffer will be driving 
and fast edge rates make traces look like 50ohm transmission lines,
most models use 50ohm pullup and pulldown to derive the VT curves.

At this point I think it is upto the simulator vendor to come up 
with the appropriate algorithm to extract buffer characteristics 
for other loads.

Hope that was of some help.

Prabhu/~

Prabhu / Eckhard

Thanks for your responses. This makes it clear. So, the assumption
that the buffers sees a proper termination, needs to be adhered.

Jairam.

Jairam,

The I-V curves are essentially static or DC, so even if they did include the package, only the package resistance would affect them.  L and C would not.

They are also load-independent.  Their purpose is to "map out" or describe the characteristics of the IO buffer alone.  You may think of it as connecting a constant voltage source (or perhaps a current source) to the IO pin.  At that voltage, you would measure some value of current, which depends on the strength of the IO buffer alone.  Repeat at other voltage values to create a curve.

I think it is extremely rare for a buffer's drive strength to depend on the load.  (Actually, there are some technologies that are capable of adjusting themselves against their loads; but once so adjusted, the drive strength remains constant until the next re-cal.)  So except for rare cases, while the output current does depend on the load as you say, the drive strength, i.e., the shape and magnitude of the I-V curve, does not.

On the other hand, the V-T curves do greatly depend on load; and for that reason, it is highly desirable for the model creator to have at least one V-T curve whose test load fixture is similar to the actual load that the customer will use.  The simulator tool will need to extrapolate or interpolate around V-T curves in order to derive the waveform when a somewhat different load is used.  Accuracy is theoretically enhanced when the actual load is very similar to the test load.  An exact termination is not required, but the simulator needs to be "smart" enough to figure out what to do.

Regards,
Andy

Andrew,

I-V and V-T curves are both obtained when the (CMOS) driver is connected
to an ideal supply voltage. The resultant driver model is a 2-pole
model, such that the signal return current is assumed to flow back on
the AC short-circuited power and/or ground. Do you think, it is possible
to use/extend IBIS (similar to the 4-terminal device model in the
japanese IMIC) to include the power supply noise? You mentioned that the
V-T curves at various loads is required to enhance accuracy. Maybe, a
possible way to include the power-supply noise is to have all these V-T
(and V-I) curves at various power-supply levels as well. I think the
simulator needs to be "smarter" in this case to figure out what to do.

Regards,
Ege
