  Support:  The Linesim Pro product supports IBIS as follows:
            1) Any IBIS file can be used directly as a 'NATIVE' file
              (Version 3.0 or newer).
            2) A single model in an IBIS file can selected, loaded, and 
               viewed directly.
            3) Several IBIS models can be included in a single file and used 
               as a library.  Note: this library file still complies 
               completely with the IBIS specification and can be checked 
               with the IBIS check program.

            Parser) that will read IBIS models and automatically generate
            data files for Phidias (our graphical VI curve device modellor) 
            and database files that associate the component definitions with 
            the pin models.

            From Phidias, both SPICE models for Greenfield Phyllis (our 
            PHYsical Load and Line Simulator) and models for BoardScan,
            (our PC board scanner for signal integrity and crosstalk) can
            be created.

            The release date has not been set yet.  An application note is 
            available regarding using IBIS models with Phidias.

Siemens Nixdorf

  Address:  Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG
            Cadlab / Analog System Engineering
            Bahnhofstrasse 32
            D-33102 Paderborn, Germany
  Support:  Siemens Nixdorf uses the simulation program FREACS (Fast
            REflection And Crosstalk Simulator) for signal integrity 
            analysis within the EMC-Workbench. Siemens Nixdorf can read IBIS 
            Version 1.1 files and translate the IBIS models into FREACS 
            models.  Siemens Nixdorf uses an IBIS parser, developed by 
            Siemens Nixdorf, and a semi-automatic process for the 
            parametrization of the FREACS macromodels.  The translation of 
            IBIS to FREACS is available as a service for customers.

            A fully automated process will be developed when there are more 
            IBIS models available.

            Additionally, so called 'reference lists' are set-up that are
            used by the interface (XLIN) between the EMC-Workbench and the 
            FREACS macromodel library.  These reference lists consist of 
            circuit informations in a special language named HINAC 
            (Hierachical Naming Convention), where macromodel data is
            assigned to pins of a component using IBIS-informations, as 
            well.

            In this way a controlled set-up of a library is possible using 
            IBIS-files as basis.

            Detailed information will be available on request.

  Address:  
            
  Support:  TI has a three-pronged attack on IBIS support.  TI is working on 
            a scheme to automatically generate IBIS models from TI Spice 
            simulations (TI's proprietary Spice dialect), on an automatic 
            means to generate C code to be linked in to TI Spice as a User 
            Defined Element from an IBIS model, and an automatic means to 
            create the Spice equivalent of the IBIS model from the IBIS 
            model specification.

            The latter method differs from the second in that it uses 
            skeletonized Spice primitive elements in the form of a 
            subcircuit, while the second actually generates C code and 
            compiles it for dynamic linking.
