The files included in this distribution were written by Arpad Muranyi,
Intel Corporation.  They do not contain any confidential or proprietary
information, and they are made available to the public with the intent
of promoting the usage of the Multi-Lingual Extensions of the IBIS
specification and to help pave the way for more accurate behavioral I/O
buffer models and simulations.  The files may be used, modified, and
distributed without any limitations; however, the files are provided "as

The files in this project were developed with Dolphin Integration's
SMASH 5.8 tool, which can be downloaded from:

http://www.dolphin.fr/medal/smash/smash_download.html

SMASH can be operated in an evaluation mode called SMASH-Seduction
without a license.  This mode limits only the size of the circuits that
can be simulated with it, but has has full functionality otherwise.  The
project in this distribution was tested to work under these limitations
so that interested engineers could experiment freely without having to
purchase any simulators.

There are two sets of top level files in the distribution, one that will
only work with a licensed version of SMASH, and another that will also
work with SMASH-Seduction.  The functionality of these two sets of files
is the same, hence their file names are also very similar in an obvious
way.  Once SMASH is installed on the computer, one can start the tool by 
clicking on any of the .NSX files in a file manager or file browser tool.  
After SMASH is done with compiling the files, one can press Ctrl-T to
start the simulation.  The waveforms will appear on the screen
automatically.

The subdirectory called "StatEye_lib" contains two VHDL-AMS files with 
all of the models and functions used in the project.

This subdiretory also contains two Matlab files, one of which is a data
file generated by the VHDL-AMS algorithm of the project (in the parent
diretory).  The other file is a short Matlab code that can be used to
plot the information stored in the data file in a 3-dimensional mode.
