Subject: [IBIS-Users] Information about IBIS Warnings .

Hi Gurus,
I have few questions about what the warnings mean. I
am using Specctraquest for my simulations.

1) PullDown : Overall Typical Area exceeds Maximun
Area. What has area goto do ????
2) Duplicate Points removed. This may sound dumb but
why will the curves have duplicate points in the first
place.
3) TV curves should asymptotically approach a final
value- Point added. what does asymptotically mean.

4) Falling wave form Fall1 Non monotic dv=-- at time
dt=-- exceeds 1% of voltage span. Do we need to worry
that the calculated value is off compared to the VI
curves . How is the best way to fix the above warning.

5) Also, I have a open drain IBIS model with a built
in Pull up resistor modelled into it. Is there a way
to create a new model with out the pull up so I can
play with different values of the Pullup in my
simulation. How do I go about creating this new model.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
Rahul.

Hey

I'm trying to make an IBIS model (from SPICE) for an open drain driver.

I'm in doubt how to write the S2IBIS setup file (.s2i) for an OD driver.
I know that I should use the 'Open_sink' modeltype, but how should I define the rising and falling waveforms. 
I would assume that R_fixture = 60 ohm and V_fixture = 0V

Moreover I imagine that I should only do the falling waveform and not the rising, which would be controlled by the external pullup resistor.

If it is talking about transistor area, then it must be coming from a
non-IBIS model in your simulation.

But perhaps it is checking the areas under the curves in the IBIS model.
Generally speaking, I(V) ought to be bigger in the Max column than the
Typ column.  But exceptions may exist at certain points or ranges (since
Vcc also changes, etc.).  So Specctraquest may be comparing the areas
under the I(V) curves to make sure the Max data is indeed "stronger"
than the Typ data, and it sees that it isn't.  That's my guess, but it's
only a rough guess.

Round-off?  (Closely-spaced points became the same.)

Or, if two or more tables were combined, resulting in overlap.

Asymptotically means the curve should continually approach the final
value = its asymptote.  This is not a precise definition.  It means that
the curve would eventually reach the final value if you could look out
along the curve toward infinite time.  Technically it approaches but
never quite reaches it, in finite time.

Asymptotically often also implies that the difference between the curve
and its asymptote always gets smaller as you move farther out (i.e., the
polarity of the slope does not change).

Yes; if I understand correctly, this warning message (or its earlier
version which was slightly different) has come up often in discussion
groups.

The V-T waveforms and I-V curves should be consistent with one another.
If the V-T waveform begins, or ends, at a value that is not consistent
with the I-V tables, then something is wrong, and "all bets are off."
In other words, what comes out of the simulator may be garbage, because
it is trying to satisfy both requirements simultaneously, which it
can't.

It means there is something wrong with the IBIS model, and should be
fixed.

The pull-up resistor's effects are probably in the Clamp curves.

If you know the typ/min/max resistor values that were used when the
model was created, you could try calculating the resistor current vs.
voltage, and subtract it from the tables.  Then add your own pull-up
resistor currents.

But this assumes the pull-up resistor was linear ... i.e., a real
resistor and not a pull-up FET which is how many ICs today implement
on-die pull-ups.

If you assume that nearly all of the current in the Clamp tables,
between GND and VCC, was due to the pull-up resistor, then you might try
zero'ing the current in the [GND Clamp] table for positive voltages.
But this is kludgy and not very accurate.

I wouldn't know how to modify the V-T waveforms, so maybe it's better to
just remove them from the model and rely on [Ramp] data instead.  But
the old [Ramp] data (especially dv/dt_r) probably isn't right either!

It is probably better to go to the source of the IBIS models and have
new models created.

Andy

For R_fixture, using 60 ohms in parallel with Rpullup, would come closer
to the actual circuit.  Unless you intended for Rpullup to be on the far
(receiver) end of the 60 ohm trace.

No; I think you should have both rising and falling waveforms.  While
the external circuit dominates the rising edge, it doesn't control it
100%.  Driver capacitance affects it.  If the driver transistors turn
off slowly, they may affect it too.

As a user, I would definitely want to simulate rising edges, so I'd want
the IBIS model to be accurate.  Include rising waveforms.

> 2)

Yes.  IBIS models let you include up to 100 waveform tables per model.

It has the means to, but this depends on the simulator.  Some have
limitations.  (HSpice, for example, can use at most two waveform
tables.)

I forgot to say ... you should have a waveform with V_fixture = 0V and
another with V_fixture = Vpullup.

re: questions on SPECCTRAQuest warnings.

1) SPECCTRAQuest checks area under the curves.  The warning tells you
that you should
visually check the curves to verify the V-t columns are in the correct
typ/min/max order.
Note that V-t curves can be viewed in Model Integrity, released in
SPECCTRAQuest 14.2.

4) The "hump" in the V-t curve probably exceeded 1%.  The warning just
tells you that you
should visually check the V-t curves.  This is probably not an
indication of an error in the
model.  This is not related to any I-V mismatch problems.

5) To model a _change_ in pullup resistance, _IF_ the change is
resistance is "small", you
can try adding or subtracting the current delta_I caused by the change
in resistance.  This
has the advantage of preserving some of the non-linearity of a pullup
resistance implemented
as a MOSFET.
delta_I = -delta_R * V / (R*R)
delta_I = -delta_R * I / R
delta_I = -delta_R * I * I / V

Note that this does NOT apply to DETECTING resistor terminators.  For
further information on
detecting these, see Arpad's "JEDEC" presentation at
http://www.eda.org/pub/ibis/training/.

Subject: Re: [IBIS-Users] Questions about Bus Hold (2nd try)

Rob:

I am going to try to address your questions directly based
on what I have seen in some Philips models and Philips modeling
processes.

Ironically, the primary reason for bus_hold was to document a
receiver triggered switching circuit to give extra strength at
the receiver from a weak driver.  This circuit performed just
like a bus hold circuit, but with much stronger currents.  Because
it was a similar effect as bus hold, it was named bus hold.

As a general rule, for most modeling situations, the true
bus hold effect can and should be ignored.  What commonly
occurs in s2ibis typ extractions is that the [Gnd Clamp]
table is non-monotonic in the 0 to Vcc region, with a
negative and then positive glitch around approximately
Vcc/2 - corresponding to a bus hold circuit switching
during the DC sweep.  However, this current is negligable
with respect to overall signal integrity and timing
considerations and can be ignored.  Most tools have 
loads on the net (including the characteristic impedance
of the traces) that swamp out the non-monotonic effect
during switching, so it is no factor.  Other tools may
smooth out the glitch.

My responses are in your text.

My recommendation is to simply zero out the clamp currents and remove
the glitch - for the purpose of correct simulation and removal of
warning messages (versus exact characterization).  If needed, put in
the full bus hold submodel statements.

It is correct as far as a DC sweep and approximation effect is 
concerned.  However, see 1b, 1c

Probably not needed for most situations.  A 75 uA current is
negligable compared to mA level switching current flows, and
it is zero at the end-points anyway where circuits tend to
settle.

> 1c. Okay, since it represents the actual behavior.

It mimics actual behavior through only a DC sweep mechanism.
However since the mechanism is dynamic (e.g., a flip flop),
the DC characterization is not correct.  So the correct
approach is to zero out the currents.  If you really want
it, use the true submodel characterization based on switching.
See 1a :-)

True Bus Hold submodel.  Plus 1b for many real situations.

The bus hold requires internal knowledge for construction.  Basically
the strength of the bus hold pullup and pulldown "resistors" are needed,
and the speed of transition is needed, and the approximate switching
thresholds are needed.  I recommend just a very simple model with ramps
since the effect is already on top of more dominant effects.  So the
bus hold serves as a first order adjustment.  When a real internal
switch is characterized with mA level strength, then more detail is
needed.  However, the Semiconductor manufacturer modeler should have
access to the necessary details including the bus hold circuit itself.

Just the bus hold switch mechanisms.

Hi all,

I have several IBIS questions:
 
1.	I was wondering how an IBIS simulator read and interpret the data
tabulated in an IBIS file? What is the common algorithm used by most of the
	simulators? For example a simple driver and receiver interconnected
by a transmission line. Then how do the data in pullup/pulldown/clamp/ramp
play their roles in forming the simulation waveform? Can one 	tell what
data constitute to a particular portion of the waveform?    

2.	Lumped RLC package is often used in IBIS models. Can they be used in
higher frequency environment? Will parasitics in an IBIS file
(c_comp,C_pkg,C_pin,L_pkg,L_pin) alter the output impedance as
	operating frequency goes higher? Is there a maximum frequency that a
package model can withstand?
	If that is the case, is distributed package model a better choice?
How do we go about it?

Can someone shed some light here?

Have a nice day.
Thks & Rgds,
 
Shee Kian Wong

Hi all,

For a wire-bond package, the RLC of the bondwire is generally considered
to be part of the package.  For a flip-chip package, is there a convention
for how the bump parasitics should be handled?  Is the bump to be

I started to say the bump C should be part of the package but in reflection
it seems to be part of the die.  I'd vote for as part of C_comp because it
is part of the metalization on the die.

It does not matter, so long as it does not get double counted. I believe
the solder bump may appear in the CAD package data base. If so it should
be made part of the package not the IC.

I don't have any strong preferences where it is modeled, but
for the sake of consistency I would mention that solder balls
are part of the package, not the PCB to which the chip is soldered.
So similarly, I would think that the bumps should be part of the
die and not the package to which it is soldered (welded?).

Subject: Re: [IBIS-Users] IBIS bump question

We know the bump is on the die. The question is does it appear
in the CAD data base of the package. If so then putting in the
IC model would not be the correct thing to do because it would
be counted in the IC package data as well. I do not know the
answer to this. It probably depends on the CAD tool used to
model the package. Some IC package tools go all the way to
including some of the die information. At any rate I believe
the answer lies in knowing what is included in the package data.

Subject: RE: [IBIS-Users] FW: Modelling an open drain driver

An extra comment

Andrew Ingraham made the following comment, and I think he might be right.

"When the driver initially switches, and until the round-trip delay of the attached transmission line, the driver effectively sees a load of Rpullup in parallel with 60 ohms.  After reflections on the transmission line have died out, it sees mostly just the Rpullup.  So maybe you should provide waveforms for both values of R_fixture in the model file, and hope that the simulator knows how to figure it out and interpolate between them."

Currently, I just have the following 4 waveforms
[Rising waveform]  60 3.3 3.0 3.6 NA NA NA NA NA
[Falling waveform]  60 3.3 3.0 3.6 NA NA NA NA NA
[Rising waveform]  60 2.5 2.3 2.7 NA NA NA NA NA
[Falling waveform]  60 2.5 2.3 2.7 NA NA NA NA NA

The final value for the high voltage is dependent on Vpullup and Rpullup and not the transmission line.

As Andy suggest, should I also include some extra waveforms, which shows this situation and do the simulators have the ability to use these anyway?

Vpullup is either 2.5V or 3.3V. Rpullup > 1.5k ohm

Thanks for the clarification.

Having waveforms with V_fixture = 0, creates the below ERROR message, where you are told that your endpoint is where it should be, but you are 100% off.

ERROR - Model osoc2_od: The [Rising Waveform] 
      with [R_fixture]=60 Ohms and [V_fixture]=0V
      has TYP column DC endpoints of  0.00V and  0.00v, but
      an equivalent load applied to the model's I-V tables yields
      different voltages (-0.00V and  0.00V),
      a difference of -100.00% and 100.00%, respectively.

package is engineered.  In some cases the bump is directly on the pad. 
In this case, there is an added capacitance that is often not modeled by 
the silicon vendor.  Whether it is lumped in with the package or with 
the die makes little difference, as long as model is construced 
consistent with the approach used.

Another type of flip-chip package uses a redistribution layer, a layer 
of additional metalization on top of the original die, that 
redistributes the IO pads at the edge of the die back in to where the 
die bumps are located.  In this case, the redistribution layer can have 
significant length and must be modeled as additional package.  (This is 
especially the case for mixed analog and digital ICs, where great pains 
have been taken to isolate the two sections.)  The redistribution metal 
will have R, L and C characteristics that need to be modeled.  In many 
cases, this area is not modeled, even in the vendor delivered Spice files.

regards,

scott

Subject: RE: [IBIS-Users] FW: Modelling an open drain driver

In the case of most open-drain or open-source models, a single pair of V-T tables, one rising and one falling, is generally adequate to define the turn-on and turn-off behavior of the buffer.  Since the intended net load on your buffer is about 60 ohms at the start of switching (Rpullup > 1.5 kohm), R_fixture = 60 ohms sounds fine.  The point is to characterize the transient behavior of the device.  A V_fixture of either 2.5 or 3.3 V will probably be adequate.  No harm in keeping all four tables you currently have, however.  No tool should be confused by them, and the additional information may result in slightly better accuracy.  I would recommend double checking that the model passes the official parser and submitting it to the Model Review Committee for feedback from tool vendors.

Subject: [IBIS-Users] s2ibis2 problem with 3-stateable OD drivers

To me it seems that s2ibis2 do not support generation of open-drain models with tri-state outputs properly.
I'm using the Windows version, but I believe that the issue is of general nature.

********** From .s2i file
[Pin]
pad pad pad osoc2_od
- -> D EN
D D D input
EN EN EN enable
VDD VDD VDD POWER
VSS VSS VSS GND

[Model]  osoc2_od
[Model type]  Open_sink
[Polarity]  Non-Inverting
[Enable]  Active-low
*************

The above will not generate the correct VI tables.

By using the above info, s2ibis2 will generate spice simulations for
 1) 'Pulldown curve'
 2) 'Pulldown curve with output disabled'
but no 'Ground clamp' simulation.
I assume it then  creates the IBIS PULLDOWN curve by subtraction the second curve from the first one (only for negative voltages).
The resulting IBIS model only has one VI curve, the modified PULLDOWN where the clamping has been subtracted. But it does not add the missing current by adding a 'Ground Clamp' curve.

It seems that a correct result only can be obtained by removing the enable signal and run s2ibis2 with that, Or create the missing 'Ground Clamp' curve manually.

Can it be true that s2ibis2 do not support OD-drivers with enable signal?

No matter, you may want to try I/O_open_drain (or sink) as the proper

Fred, 

Thanks for the input.

As far as I can read the IBIS standard, 'Open_sink' and 'Open_drain' are the same, where the first one is the preffered type. Correct me if I'm wrong.

It actually works to use the I/O_open_sink :-)

I will use the I/O_open_sink model type in the .s2i file to get the correct VI curves, but change the modeltype back to 'Open_sink' in the final IBIS file to get the correct model type.

Hello Henrik, the correct pin type to use is I/O_open_sink or drain 
which ever you prefer. If you use Open_sink or Open_drain then it
is assumed that the part is a driver only. The I/O is what tells the
simulators that there is an enable/disable pin that puts the output
stage in tri-state or receiving mode. The mechanism also tells S2ibis
how to test the part. If it is just an open sink without the tri-state
or input then the gnd/pwr clamps are not needed because they are 
contained in the pullup or pulldown data. Sorry I misread open_sink 
as open_source.

I'm looking for Generic IBIS model to do some simulation on a PCI/PCIX
backplane which will have PCI I/O devices on.
Any idea if their is any Generic model for PCI or PCIX devices?

Thank you for your time.

Hey all

I have read most of the latest presentations on making IBIS models for =
LVDS drivers with interest, but....

How many VT curves to include in the initial model?

For very short tracks (I.e. the 100 ohm diff termination very close to =
the driver, no transmission line),  two waveforms should be enough

[Rising waveform]  50 Vcm(typ) Vcm(min) Vcm(max) NA NA NA NA NA
[Falling waveform]  50 Vcm(typ) Vcm(min) Vcm(max) NA NA NA NA NA

where Vcm(???) is the out common mode voltage

To include the cases where the driver is connected to a transmission =
line with a diff impedance of 100 ohm, the following waveforms should be =
made too

[Rising waveform]  50 Vol(typ) Vol(min) Vol(max) NA NA NA NA NA
[Falling waveform]  50 Voh(typ) Voh(min) Voh(max) NA NA NA NA NA

(The driver sees a 100 ohm transmission line, but since both pads change =
opposite, the real voltage swing is the double. To include that in the =
above I have halfed the impedance)

Is more waveforms needed?

Hi all,

Normally there are 2 sets of rising/falling (1 set for 50W to gnd and 1 set
for 50W to vcc) plus 1 ramp data in an IBIS file. 
Which one does a simulator use? The ramp or the rising/falling data? If
rising/ falling data is used, which set (there are normally >1 set of data)
would be chosen? 
Rgds,

That depends entirely on the simulator.

I would expect most simulators to use the Waveform data,
if they are capable of using it.  Some simulators might even
use both.

The first implementation of IBIS models integrated into Hspice,
used only the Ramp data.

In general, a simulator needs to employ some "magic" (a
complicated algorithm) to get from the Waveform data to
actual driven waveforms, because the real load rarely if ever
is a perfect 50 ohm resistor to VCC or to GND.  A good
algorithm might use all available Waveform tables, appropriately
weighted, depending on actual load conditions.  Again, I expect
this to be simulator dependent.  (I believe that Hspice now can
use either one, or two, Waveform tables, but not more than the
first two tables it finds in the IBIS data sheet.  You get to tell it
whether to use one or two.)

Regards,
Andy

Subject: [IBIS-Users] Vinh for Differential Part

Hello,
I have a differential device in an IBIS file.  I define a Vdiff of 100mV
for my differential signal thresholds. However, I also have to define a
Vinh and Vinl
for the single-ended positive and negative differential Input model types
in IBIS. The IBIS spec (3.2) states that:

If a pin is a differential input pin, the differential input
| threshold (vdiff) overrides and supersedes the need for Vinh
| and Vinl.

However, if I do not define a Vinh and Vinl for my differential inputs,
then the IBIS parser gives me a warning.  It also seems that some
simulators use this
Vinh and Vinl for the single-ended differential signals. If this is an LVDS
input, switching from 1 to 1.4 V, then I could put thresholds of 1.1 and
1.3?

I'm curious as to what other people do and why the parser gives me this
warning?

Regards,
Tim

Since these threshold voltages are used for timing measurements and since
datasheets specify timing at the zero crossing or Vddq/2 level, would it not
be better to set Vdiff=0, Vinl=Vinh=1.2V?

Subject: RE: [IBIS-Users] Vinh for Differential Part

The switching point for a differential input happens when the difference in
the input voltage reaches the Vdiff value.  In this case the common mode
voltage is 1.2 Volts and the inputs need to be at least 100 mV different to
cause the input to recognize state.  Thus 1.15 and 1.25 volts would be the
appropriate Vinl/Vinh values.

Subject: RE: [IBIS-Users] Vinh for Differential Part

 I think the problem is that the Vth and Vtl defined for the differential
input is being applied to the single-ended signal, and
not the differential signal. A vdiff of +/- 100mV of the common mode input
voltage only applies to the differential signal.  For the single-ended
signal,
I believe the threshold should be  +/-100mV from what ever voltage the
other pin is tied too.  For example, VA  VTH is = VB + 0.1V, VTL = VB -
0.1V.
But if I have Vdiff defined, these values shouldn't be used at all. And if
I don't have Vdiff defined, I do not think that these threshold values are
going
to be used for the differential signal. It might also be irreverent because
is there any situations when one would want to do  any timing measurements
on the single-ended signal rather than the differential signal? If not,
then the parser and EDA tools need to be informed to correct this.

Tim

Well, your observation is right; the parser will not allow not putting
Vinh and Vinl for an input buffer even if the existence of Vdiff will
override the Vinh/Vinl thresholds.
For levels 1.0 ~1.4 with Vdiff=0.1V, the buffer will switch if you apply
differential voltage of at least 100mV around the common mode input
voltage and not 1.1V and 1.3V
I hope it helps,

I think that most IBIS simulators use Vdiff as +/- of 0 V, assuming the

Hi all and Arpad,

Could you please share your experience about verification spice and ibis
performance correlation? I found on page 8 of the article "I/O-buffer
modeling spec simplifies simulation for high-speed systems"
(http://www.eigroup.org/ibis/intel.htm), there is a figure mention about
spice and ibis waveform comparison. Do you think it was simulated by the
same tool? If it was, what's tool you used here? Or is anyone know what's
the tool I can use? How about like Hyperlynx, Quad Design, or
Interconnectix?

Best Regard,

Eric Hsu

All:

 Hi. What is the best way to embed several different package models into the
same IBIS file? Say I have an FPGA with 3 different possible packages. I
have min, typ, max RLC values for each. Is there a way to select packages on
the fly (like a [Model_selector] keyword)?

 I see the syntax for several different parameters dealing with packages in
the Ibis 3.2 spec, but it is unclear as to what they are actually USED for
or how to use them.

I appreciate the help.

Subject: Re: [IBIS-Users] Vinh for Differential Part

The device might switch when the differential inputs are 100mV apart. However,
if the datasheet timing reference point is the zero crossing, Vdiff should be
set to 0 in the IBIS model and the simulator should use this Vdiff value to
report timing. Setting a different Vdiff value like 100mV in the IBIS model
will result in a timing inaccuracy due to double counting. Likewise for
Vinh/Vinl.

Thanks,
Vinu

Hi All,

Is there anyone ever take IBIS mode and spice netlist and use hspice to
simulate on the same environment? I wonder maybe it is the best way to cross
verify correlation between IBIS model and spice netlist. If it is possible,
how can I handle R_pin, L_pin, C_pin, and C_comp those parameter  in the
ibis model? I mean should I add them into my test bench or not?

Subject: RE: [IBIS-Users] Vinh for Differential Part

The problem with setting Vdiff to 0 is slow slew rates or poor transitions
will not give accurate timing.  All of the datasheets that I checked had a
limitation on the maximum transition time (between 1 and 5 nsec) for the
Vdiff = 0 timing.

The device might switch when the differential inputs are 100mV apart.
However,
if the datasheet timing reference point is the zero crossing, Vdiff should
be
set to 0 in the IBIS model and the simulator should use this Vdiff value to
report timing. Setting a different Vdiff value like 100mV in the IBIS model
will result in a timing inaccuracy due to double counting. Likewise for
Vinh/Vinl.

Thanks,
Vinu

Since each different package style will have a unique component name use
three different components with 3 different pin tables.  Each model

All:

 Hi. What is the best way to embed several different package models into the
same IBIS file? Say I have an FPGA with 3 different possible packages. I
have min, typ, max RLC values for each. Is there a way to select packages on
the fly (like a [Model_selector] keyword)?

 I see the syntax for several different parameters dealing with packages in
the Ibis 3.2 spec, but it is unclear as to what they are actually USED for
or how to use them.

I appreciate the help.

Regards,

Matt

Why not use Vmeas or Vinh, Vinl which would be more accurate. I think
Tom is right on this one.

Eric,

Answers to your questions:

1) We do it all the time.
2) The HSPICE B-element includes the C_comp, so you don't need to
add that to your circuit.  The rest are not included in the B-element,
so you will need to add those around it.

Eric,

To be honest with you, I do not remember which tools were used
to generate the figure in the article you are referencing in the
link in your message.  (That article was written quite a long time
ago, in 1994).

There are many ways of correlating your IBIS models with the
original SPICE.  Most tools have features to save their waveforms
in ASCII format, and you can import these ASCII files into the
other tool's waveform viewer, or if nothing else, a spreadsheet
program, such as EXCEL.  Some tools can even import other tool's
formats.

However, if you have HSPICE, you can do the correlation from within
HSPICE, because it has direct IBIS model support with its B-element.
You can get a taste for this if you go to:

http://www.eda.org/pub/ibis/training/

and download the IBIS_class_JEDEC.zip file in which I have a
"compare.sp" file that does just this.

Have fun,

Arpad

spice and ibis waveform comparison. Do you think it was simulated by the
same tool? If it was, what's tool you used here? Or is anyone know what's
the tool I can use? How about like Hyperlynx, Quad Design, or
Interconnectix?

Best Regard,

Eric Hsu

Subject: Re: [IBIS-Users] Vinh for Differential Part

Tom is correct that datasheets that spec. Vdiff=0 timing reference also specify a
transition rate. If the simulation shows slow slew rates or poor transitions that
violate the datasheet requirement, then the datasheet receiver input timings are
no longer valid. The receiver manufacturer has to provide timing derating
information.

So, it is not clear to me how setting Vdiff to non-zero value or using Vinh not
equal to Vinl will help in this situation.

Thanks,
Vinu

Subject: Re: [IBIS-Users] FW:

Eric,
   This can easily be done (as Arpad pointed out) utilizing the B-element
in Hspice. You can obtain excellent correlation (in the same
environment) betweem IBIS models and HSPICE native models. The 2 keys
are Accurate IBIS models and identical conditions.

 Hspice will read all the information in an IBIS model including
R,L,C_pin, C_comp (when you make a B-elemenet Call). Some vendors provide
extensions to the simple R L C models in IBIS  because todays high
performance packages are better modeled as transmission lines.

Maybe I'm missing something, but an ibis model cannot act like a spice
equivalent in so far as setting multiple inputs and outputs and seeing
how the device operates, is this correct? As An example, I have a model
for a PLL device and I wanted introduce a clock in and look the clock
out, as a function of the feedback (frequency lock) circuit, which is
critical in getting the PLL to operate correctly
Is the ibis model of the device made where the PLL is already at some
range of operation with a feedback circuit in place?
Any feedback appreciated....

Thanks
Bill

Hi there.

I have a problem generating a an IBIS model while using 1.65V supply.

The problem is that I get different ranges from the [Pulldown] Vs.
[Pullup]
tables - 3.3->1.6 and 3.25->-1.65 receptively.

Does anyone have a solution ?

Thanks

Hi,

For a 1.65 supply buffer:

- -          Pulldown range will be -1.65 to 3.3 V.

- -          Pullup range from -1.65 to 3.3 also in case of the typical corner.

 

 

Both ranges will be swept with 0.05 V step if you want to get the maximum number of point allowed (Maximum accuracy).

So, I think the 3.25 V in the pull up that you are talking about came from ignoring the last step in the pull up sweep.

Unfortunately s2ibis2 doesn't work at that voltage range due to some bugs. A
terrible hack is
to reduce the value of DIODE_DROP_DEFAULT in s2idflt.h to something like
0.3V, then recompile.
The right solution is to replace the offending function, sortVIData in
s2ianlyz.c.

  Hi there.
  I have a problem generating a an IBIS model while using 1.65V supply.

  The problem is that I get different ranges from the [Pulldown] Vs.
[Pullup]
  tables - 3.3->1.6 and 3.25->-1.65 receptively.

  Does anyone have a solution ?

  Thanks

How about this:

For the Pullup:
3.3
.
.
1.6
1.65  <-- add this line and extrapolate from 1.6 to 1.65


For the Pulldown:
3.3   <--  add this line and extrapolate from 3.25 to 3.3
3.25
.
.
.
1.65

and now you have the full range..

Hello ibis users,

We recently developed a tool called IBIS development studio.

With IBIS development studio it is possible to :
- - check ibis models
- - modify IBIS waveforms graphically
- - create you own model with a whizard
- - import buffer models from other ibis models
- - write out the model in a xml format.

Possible add-ons are now developed.
If you have any questions, feel free to send it to us.

On our web page, you can find more information regarding IBIS development studio.

Subject: [IBIS-Users] s2ibis2.solaris

Question 1 (VT curves)
Can anyone tell me how to configure the .s2i file to automatically add pwl
stimulus for rising and falling waveforms?
The example shows:
[Rising waveform] 500 0 NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
[Falling waveform] 500 3.3 NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
My results have Rising Waveform voltages of all 0.000V and Falling Waveform
voltages of all 3.30V.

Question 2  (VI curves)
Again in the .s2i file under [model file]  the example shows:
[Model file] spectre.mod spectre.mod spectre.mod
This file contains Nominal, Slow and Fast parameters.  But my .ibs data
only shows I(typ).    It shows  NA for I(min) and I(max).
How do I get it to show the I min and max data?

Thanks for any help

For Ques#1:

You should have:
[Rising waveform] 500 0.0 0.0 0.0 NA NA NA NA NA
[Falling waveform] 500 3.3 3.0 3.6 NA NA NA NA NA

by looking at the a*.spi, b*.spi, c*.spi, you should see the PULSE
statement. Looks like your buffer did not switch. So there are other
problems.

For Ques#2:
[Model file] typ.mod slow.mod fast.mod

Each of the above contains the respective process files. Then you
should each all the columms. That is if the simulation ran correctly.

You can always look at, for example pdn*.out (pulldown min)and look
at the SPICE generat
