Tim,

IBIS doesn't have to provide this derating construct in order
for you to make an IBIS model with derating.  You measure your
data, import it into your favorite spreadsheet, and massage it.
After that you can make your IBIS model with the massaged data.

Hi John,
Not sure if you are talking about transmission line simulations or just the
IBIS data itself, but here is my 2 cents. If your IBIS file was created from
SPICE models, the real correlation should be between your SPICE simulations
and real silicon. A good methodology might be to correlate your SPICE models
to silicon, then translate your SPICE models to IBIS, and correlate your
IBIS file to your SPICE model. If your SPICE models do not correlate well to
silicon, you could extract IBIS data from
the bench and insert into your IBIS file. This should make your IBIS file
correlate better to silicon. It will be more difficult to get your min and
max
data from the lab than from simulation. 

Regards,
Tim

Subject: [IBIS-Users] S2IBIS2 Issue

Hi:

I am trying to use the S2IBIS2 script to generate an LVCMOS2 I/O IBIS 
model. However,
my voltage & temperature ranges are as follows:

VCC : 2.25 Volts
Temp: 125, 110, 85
Corner: SS

In other words, I want a slow corner, low VCC but a temperature sweep. I 
tried the following:

[Voltage Range] = 2.25, 2.25, 2.25 for (typ, min, max)
[Temperature Range] = 110, 125, 85  (typ, min, max)

I also set all the spice deck to SS corner in the max1, min1, & typ1 files.

However, S2IBIS2 upon completion places NA in Power & Ground Clamps.
I looked at the spice results and there are current values in the output 
files.

Does anybody have any ideas on how to get an IBIS model using the
S2IBIS2 script for a temperature sweep? Or any clue as to what I am
doing wrong?

Suhail

Subject: Re: [IBIS-Users] Measurement deratings?

Hello All
    All of my AC data tables are measured.  But if I simulate an output
of an IBIS model with a  4pF load I get a jittery edge.  Even after
putting more points in the data (20 to 50 points in the edge).  I've
tried smoothing the wave form and taking out any over/under shoot but
the simulations still have a jittery edge.  If I take out the AC data
table and leave in the DV/DT information the wave forms look fine.  Is
there a fix  to my problem?  I work with CMOS logic devices.

                               Thanks Duane M

Subject: RE: [IBIS-Users] Measurement deratings?

Duane,

It is not clear to me whether it is your measured data that is jittery,
or the simulation results (with clean data in the IBIS file).  If it is
the former, you need to find ways to filter it before you put it into
the
IBIS model.  If it is the latter, this could be a simulation tool issue.
Which is it?  Which tool are you using?

   The IBIS file is clean, no jitter but, when I use Hyperlink 6.1
simulation software with a 4pF load to simulate the clean IBIS files I
get a jittery simulation.  If I put a bigger load on the simulation the
jitter goes away.
 
               Thanks Duane M

Duane,

I would suggest that you talk to the Mentor support guys.
It seems that this is done by the simulator, and I am not
familiar with its intricacies.

DAC2003 MEETING PLANNING
Stephen Peters reported that planning continues for the June 5, 2003 IBIS 
summit meeting which will be held in conjunction with DAC2003 in Anaheim, 
California at the Anaheim Marriot hotel in Grand Ballroom Salons C & D.
Cadence Design Systems is co-sponsoring the IBIS summit along with the IBIS 
Open Forum. Stephen noted that attendees should sign up with Guy de Burgh 
immediately if they have not already done so. Currently 15 persons have
indicated that they will attend. John Angulo asked for a final head count
to forward to the hotel and caterers. Finally, Stephen noted that this
summit meeting will not be webcast.  

Stephen reminded the presenters that they should email their electronic 
presentations to Guy De Burgh by the end of the day Monday, June 2, 2003 so
that hard copies can be made. If they are not available by that time, then
the presenter is requested to bring 20 hard copies to the meeting. Lynne
Green requested that presenters also email her a copy of their presentation,
as she will be loading them on her laptop for use at the summit. Stephen
Peters indicated that he will also bring his laptop as a backup. Guy will
supply the LCD projector. 

Stephen noted that the following presentations are planned (titles are 
tentative). 

IBIS Chair's Report, Stephen Peters (Intel Corp.)
IBIS Quality Committee Update, Kim Helliwell, (Apple Computer)
ICM Status and Update, Michael Mirmak (Intel Corp.)
IBIS 4.1 Status and Update, Lynne Green (Cadence Design Systems)

In addition to presentations and discussion we will also be conducting
the annual election of officers.  The current slate of nominees and their 
positions are:

Chair           Michael Mirmak, Intel Corp.
Vice-Chair      Lynne Green, Cadence
Secretary       Randy Wolff, Micron
Librarian       Roy Leventhal, Leventhal Design and Communications
Webmaster       Syed Huq, Cisco
Postmaster      John Angulo, Mentor

Additional nominations are being accepted for all positions. E-mail nominee
names to Stephen Peters. Nominations will also be accepted at the summit
meeting.

DESIGNCON2003 EAST MEETING PLANNING
Stephen Peters reported that planning for an IBIS summit meeting at 
Designcon2003 East in Marlborough, Massachusetts continues. The summit is 
scheduled for June 23, 2003 in the Royal Plaza Hotel in Marlborough, 
Massachusetts. Sisoft and the IBIS Open Forum are co-sponsoring the 
event. The meeting room is yet to be determined. Stephen noted that we are
also a co-sponsor of DesignCon2003 East. Barry Katz from SiSoft is serving
as the contact for registration and sign-up, so if you are planning on
attending please let Barry know. Stephen mentioned that we have traded the
booth for a telephone line so that the meeting can be audio or web telecast.
It is expected that presentations given at the DAC2003 Summit will also be
given at this meeting.

Bob Haller indicated that Sisoft may be able to supply the LCD projector.
Stephen has the AR to find a sponsor for lunch. 

Stephen asked for a rough head count of who will attend. SiSoft will have
a couple of representatives in attendance, and Tim Coyle indicated that
he plans on attending in person.  Most west coast individuals indicated
that they will phone in for at least a part of the meeting.

IBIS VERSION 4.0 PARSER FUNDING AND STATUS
Stephen Peters reported that he has received word from EIA that a parser
payment has been received from LSI logic. This brings the total companies 
that have paid to seven, with two more pending.

Atul Agarwal has sent the alpha release of the IBIS 4.0 parser to Stephen,
who has forwarded it on to John Angulo, Matthew Flora and Arpad Muranyi
for testing. The alpha release incorporates all BIRDS approved for IBIS
4.0 with the exception of BIRD70 (Golden Waveforms). John noted that
he has run a few test models, but has not yet gone through all the supplied
test cases for bug fixes. Looking through the file, John noted that there
appears to be test cases for BUGS 57, 58, 60, 61, and 63 through 67.  John
will verify the bug fixes then send a note to Michael Mirmak to close the
bugs.

Stephen stated that Atul asked if any numerical checks needed to performed
on the Test Load waveforms analogous to those which are performed on the
[Rising Waveform] and [Falling Waveform] tables.  The consensus is that
because these are composite waveforms and the end points could assume
wide values, the end point checks are not required.

IBIS VERSION 4.1 DISCUSSION
Stephen Peters introduced the second discussion of IBIS version 4.1 by
listing the BIRDS that have been approved since IBIS 4.0 was voted on. These
BIRDS are as follows:
  BIRD 75.8 - Multi Lingual Modeling Support
  BIRD 77.2 - Differential subparameter additions 
  BIRD 78.1 - comment line length limit
  BIRD 80.1 - Add External Reference Column to Pin Mapping Keyword
  BIRD 81.1 - Clarify Usage Rules for [Pin] I/O Model Assignment
 
There are also several minor editorial corrections that will be included.
Stephen asked the group if clarification language on summing clamp currents
and allowing extension of the clamp table ranges was important enough to
warrant a BIRD. Lynne Green stated that she feels this is important, and 
after discussion Lynne and Bob Haller agreed to author a BIRD for review
at the next teleconference meeting. 
 
Stephen also asked if it was worth adding language to the [Driver 
Schedule] keyword that made it illegal to use [Driver Schedule] with a
model type of 'Input'. After discussion it was decided to defer this change
until we have had a chance to look at the [Driver Schedule] section as a
whole. 

IBIS QUALITY COMMITTEE
Bob Haller reported on the IBIS Quality Committee meetings held on May 20,
2003. They have completed review of the I-V document, and are now working
on reviewing Mike Labonte's ramp and waveform processing document. Meetings
are scheduled for June 10 and June 17, 2003 to wrap up the documentation
reviews.

IBIS MODEL REVIEW COMMITTEE
Lynne Green reported that they have received and distributed models from 
Intersil and Intel.

NEW ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES
Larry Barnes indicated that the T11 Fiber Channel committee is starting a 
modeling subgroup in which he is involved. Larry stated that he has been
struggling with the T11 committee about the usefulness and accuracy of
IBIS models, and Larry suggested that it would be helpful if he or someone
from the IBIS Open Forum could present material at the next T11 meeting
regarding IBIS.  Several folks noted that Scott McMorrow and Tim Coyle
(among others) have published presentations demonstrating IBIS accuracy at
Ghz speeds. After further discussion Larry decided to pursue this further
offline with Lynne Green.  Finally, in response to a question from Bob Ross,
Larry indicated that the T10 document Larry was working on previously is
now an ANSI standard. 

IBIS FUTURES AND CONNECTOR WORKING GROUP REPORT
Stephen Peters reported that, after a final review by email, the IBIS
connector working group released the final draft of the Interconnect
Modeling (ICM) specification to the IBIS Open Forum. A copy of the draft
specification is available for review on the IBIS web site at
 
 http://www.eda.org/pub/ibis/connector/

The only remaining item is a minor update to the Touchstone specification. 
At this point the futures committee has no meetings planned. 

IBIS ICM SPECIFICATION REVIEW
Michael Mirmak introduced the ICM specification for review. In brief,
the ICM specification permits model authors to model a wide variety of
interconnect, including connectors and packages. Topologies can be
described via a tree or nodal connection, and connector swathing is 
supported. Coupling can be represented by RLGC matrices or S-parameter
data formatted in Touchstone format. Michael indicated that an in depth
look at the specification will be presented at the upcoming DAC summit,
and in the mean time interested persons may reference the presentation
given at the January 2003 IBIS summit. 

On a related topic Stephen Peters inquired about ICM parser progress. Lynne
Green indicated that the parser is being developed as a two pass parser.
Coding for the first pass is done and the second pass is in development.
Lynne estimates that an alpha release could happen two to three weeks after
the ICM specification is accepted.  However, Kelly Green (the parser
developer) will need models for testing.  Bob Ross indicated that Teraspeed
can provide a couple of test cases.  Stephen will also ask Gus Panella to
provide any test cases he has. 

Bob asked if the currently posted Word and .pdf documents can be modified
to include a table of contents.  Michael Mirmak will look into this.

BIRD74.4 - EMI Parameters
Guy de Burgh opened the discussion on BIRD74.4 by noting the changes from
the previous version. Per Arpad Muranyi's suggestion the [Signal Swing]
keyword has been removed.  Connector related information has also been
removed and will be re-introduced as part of the ICM specification.  The 
syntax of keywords and subparameters has been updated to be consistent 
throughout the BIRD, and Guy asked for another person to review them to 
verify that they follow the standard IBIS rules. Finally, a subparemeter 
that indicates the heatsink condition (grounded or floating) has been added.

Based on comments from Siemens and others Guy believes that all the 
outstanding technical issues have been addressed and that the BIRD is ready
for a formal vote.  Stephen indicated that he would schedule a vote on this
BIRD at the June 27, 2003 teleconference meeting.

IBISCHK3 & BUG TRACKING STATUS
John Angulo reported no progress on prototyping the fix for BUG73, "Extreme
Non-monotonic I-V Tables Cause End Point Test to Fail".  John indicated
that he will be rolling this in with the testing he is doing on the IBIS
4.0 parser. 
 
Stephen Peters stated that we need to eventually decide if we should do a 
final release of IBISCHK3.2 that includes the bug fixes now incorporated 
into IBIS 4.0. In the following discussion it was pointed out that the 
answer depends a lot on Atul Agarwal's availability.  Stephen also noted 
that BUG68 thru BUG77 and BUG79 have yet to be implemented. Stephen will 
contact Atul and ask him if he plans to implement the fixes for these bugs. 

NEW ISSUES:
Bob Ross Noted that he has received an email from North Carolina State 
University (NCSU) stating that they have a beta copy of a new SPICE to IBIS3
program. NCSU would like to limit the distribution of this beta version, but
if you are interested in beta testing contact Lynne Green or Bob Ross.
Bob will ask NCSU if they will consider sending a copy to Syed Huq, as he is
the prime reflector resource for S2IBIS2 assistance.

NEXT MEETINGS:
The next IBIS meeting will be the IBIS Summit on June 5, 2003 at the Design
Automation Conference (DAC) in Anaheim, California.  No audio bridge or 
webcast is planned.

The next teleconference meeting is scheduled for June 27, 2003 from 8:00
AM to 10:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time. A vote on BIRD 74.4 is planned.

Subject: [IBIS-Users] Differential I/O IBIS Models

Hi:

What is the best way to generate IBIS models fro Differential I/Os? 
 When I use S2IBIS2 to generate the model
(single ended approach), the IBISCHK3 fails. Any suggestions.

Subject: [IBIS-Users] monotonic waveforms

This is a multipart message in MIME format.
- --=_alternative 0042E9E5C1256D3C_=
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hello,

Should the rising and falling waveforms be monotonic as well?

When I simulate a differential (PECL) output with internal feedback I see 
that the falling waveform has some undershoot and has some damped 
oscillation behavior.
Is this allowed in a V-T table? If not,  how do I have to deal with it.

I did a simulation with HSPICE2002.2 and Hyperlynx 6.0 and see that both 
simulators react differently and both results are not correct (perhaps 
newer versions are?).

With kind regards,

Yuan,

Sorry for the delayed response.  You should try the normal Intel Sales
representative in your area first.  They are the ones who distribute
IBIS models to customers.  Please contact me directly if you are
running into complications or difficulties.

Thanks,

Can anyone comment on the current capabilities of IBIS as releated to

INTRODUCTIONS AND MEETING QUORUM
The IBIS Summit Meeting was held in Anaheim, California at the Anaheim
Marriot Hotel in conjunction with the Design Automation Conference
(DAC2003). The summit was co-sponsored by IBIS and Cadence Design Systems.
About 19 people representing 12 organizations attended.

The notes below capture some of the content and discussions.  The meeting
presentations and other documents are uploaded at:

  http://www.eda.org/pub/ibis/summits/jun03a/

Stephen Peters asked everyone in the room to introduce themselves.  The
group was well-attended by semiconductor vendors and model providers,
EDA tool vendors and users of IBIS models.  Stephen thanked Cadence Design
Systems for co-sponsoring the summit as well as Mentor Graphics for making
the hotel room arrangements and supplying the LCD projector.  Finally,
Stephen thanked the presenters and participants for attending.

Stephen asked if there were any new issues or discussion items to put on
the agenda.  Lynne Green asked to discuss arrangements for the upcoming
IBIS summit at DesignCon East.

PRESENTATIONS AND DISCUSSION TOPICS
The rest of the meeting consisted of presentations and discussions.  These
notes capture some of the content and discussion.  More details are 
available in the documents uploaded to the location noted above.

IBIS ANNUAL REPORT
Stephen Peters, Intel Corporation
Stephen opened the presentations with a summary of today's meeting,
a look back at the previous year, and a look ahead at the coming years'
challenges.  Stephen noted that IBIS 3.2 is truly an international
standard, as evidenced by European and Japanese interest, and that,
despite the weak economy, the IBIS Open forum membership remained constant
at about 24 paid members.  The organization remains financially healthy.

Significant events this year included the passage of IBIS 4.0, the adoption
of multi-lingual modeling, and the introduction of the Interconnect
Modeling (ICM) specification for review by the forum. The biggest 
challenges for the coming year include enabling the future roadmap by 
passing IBIS 4.1 and adoption of the ICM Specification. In addition, 
Stephen stressed the need for an updated IBIS cookbook and providing 
AMS modeling guidance to the industry.  The IBIS Open Forum must also 
continue to work to improve model quality.  Stephen would also like to
continue to track European EMC/EMI developments and determine the need
for XML based parsers.  Finally, Stephen offered his thanks to the officers
and other members of the organization for their support and help during
the past year.

IBIS QUALITY COMMITTEE UPDATE
Kim Helliwell, Apple Computer
Kim began his presentation by noting that, as cycle times decrease and edge
rates increase, quality models are becoming more important.  On recent
accomplishments, the committee has completed review of seven of the 10
quality document sections. In addition, BUG 71 dealing with non-monotonic
error due to individual I-V table checking has been passed.  Kim noted that
this was the most common warning from the parser, and with the parser now
checking summed tables this warning will now have meaning.

Kim reviewed the IBIS quality levels, noting that for a model to be valid
at a level then it must have passed all previous levels.  Arpad Muranyi 
asked if a level 3 model must have passed both level 2a and 2b. Kim replied
that a level three model must pass both. In follow-up questioning,
Kim clarified that the spice simulation models must be correct.

Regarding future items, Kim noted that there are 3 documents left to review
(VT curves and ramps, model correlation, and possible errors). Lynne Green
will be compiling the sections into the final documentation, and the plan
is to have this effort completed for review in time for the IBIS East summit
meeting in October, 2003.  Finally, Kim mentioned that the committee is
interested in feedback on the document, even on the chapters that have 
not been completed.

ICM STATUS AND UPDATE
Michael Mirmak, Intel Corp
Michael stated that the purpose of the IBIS Interconnect Modeling 
Specification (ICM specification) is to establish a human-readable
standard format for exchanging interconnect modeling data.  At a high level,
the specification uses a two part format.  The first part describes the 
model in terms of a 'section', with sections either joined in a tree 
arrangement according to implicit connections or in a nodal arrangement with
explicitly described nodes.  The second part of an ICM file supplies 
the electrical data for each section.  Electrical data is in the form of 
either RLGC matrices or S-parameters.

Michael noted that since September, 2002 over 63 issues have been formally
logged.  Most were editorial changes, but there were also some technical
limitations and clarifications added.  RLGC and S-parameter sections are
not permitted within the same model.  S-parameter data is only to be used 
with the [Nodal Path Description] keyword. 

Michael noted that the draft 1.0 specification was officially introduced at 
the May 30, 2003 meeting and a parser is in development.  Michael asked for
example models from the summit participants.

Some technical advancements have been proposed for future revisions.
One suggestion would permit mixing RLGC and S-parameter data within a 
single model description.  Requests have also been made to include support 
for frequency dependent RLGC matrices.  Enhancements and BUGS will be 
handled by a process similar to the existing BIRD process for the IBIS 
specification.  For the longer term, suggestions have been made that 
explicit links between IBIS and ICM be made in one or both specifications.
At present, tools are implicitly assumed to handle the use of ICM models as 
package data for IBIS models.  A larger issue involves Touchstone(R) 
support for mixed-mode S-parameters. At present, Touchstone(R) is 
understood to support only standard single-ended S11, S12, etc. 
S-parameters.  While the format can be used to distribute mixed-mode data 
(SDD12, SCD22, etc.), the specification includes no guidance for users or 
tools for interpreting the placement of the data points in a standard way.  
Finally, Michael mentioned that to best support and encourage ICM usage, 
a cookbook is needed.

Michael closed his presentation by noting that the quickest way to achieve
an official specification is to provide feedback on the draft and example
models for parser testing.  He thanked the past contributors and present
Connector Subcommittee members for their assistance in producing the ICM 
specification.

Stephen asked the group regarding their interest in mixed-mode S-parameters.
Steve Corey stated that TDA had similar questions regarding Touchstone(R) 
when TDA Systems built their parser software.  Steve saw a need for 
explicitly supporting mixed-mode, but had no immediate suggestion on the 
best way to do so.  Michael mentioned that the driving force behind mixed 
mode is the prevalence of differential signaling technologies, such as USB, 
SATA, LVDS and the upcoming PCI-Express.  Currently, multi-mode (more than 
two ports) descriptions, while potentially useful, have no immediate 
application and are essentially an exercise in completeness.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS FOR 2002-2003:
Stephen Peters opened the floor for nominations for each of the six
officer positions starting with Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Webmaster, 
Postmaster, and Model Librarian.  No nominations from the floor were
made.  Bob Ross moved that the slate of nominees as read below be elected.
Arpad Muranyi seconded, and the following officers for 2003-2004 were 
elected unanimously.

  Michael Mirmak, Chair
  Lynne Green, Vice Chair
  Randy Wolff, Secretary
  Syed Huq, Webmaster
  John Angulo, Postmaster
  Roy Leventhal, Model Librarian

IBIS 4.1 STATUS AND UPDATE
Lynne Green, Cadence Design Systems
Lynne began her presentation by noting that IBIS 4.0 was approved in July,
2002 and a parser is expected in the third quarter of 2003.  IBIS 4.1 will
include five additional BIRDs, including the major addition of multi-lingual
modeling support.  Lynne also noted that there is one outstanding BIRD
that will probably not be included in IBIS 4.1.

The remaining BIRDS to be included in IBIS 4.1 address several different
issues.  Improved support for differential buffers is addressed through
BIRD 77.  BIRD 80 added ext_ref as a new [Pin Mapping] column, helping to
drive adoption of BIRD 78 to extend the line length limit to 120 characters.  
Finally, BIRD 81 clarifies [Series Pin Mapping] and series model usage.

The next step in IBIS specification development is presentation of
the draft version of IBIS 4.1 to the Open Forum for an approval vote.  
Once the specification is approved, a parser is written and any issues 
which arise from parser development are folded into IBIS
4.2 (which may include an EMC specification as defined by BIRD 74).  
When the IBIS 4.2 parser is stable, the specification will be presented 
to ANSI/EIA for approval through a formal letter ballot. 

BEHAVIORAL VHDL-AMS I/O BUFFER MODELS USING IBIS
Arpad Muranyi, Intel Corp. and Luca Giacotto, Université Joseph Fourier
Arpad stated that the motivation for the presentation was to develop
algorithms for simulating a basic I/O buffer model IBIS description 
using VHDL-AMS.  Source code for this effort will be made freely available 
to anyone interested. Arpad noted that his presentation was not 
intended as a tutorial on the VHDL-AMS language.

Arpad first presented a standard IBIS I/O model with four IV curves
(pullup, pulldown, clamps) and Vt tables that describe switching.
Arpad then introduced the classic equations which define the Vt and
IV curve relationship, where the IV curves scale the Vt curves through
coefficients called K factors (here, Kpu and Kpd for the pullup and
pulldown factors, respectively).  Arpad noted that Kpu and Kpd are assumed 
to be identical which may not be accurate in all cases.

Arpad then went on to show the equations as implemented in VHDL-AMS code, 
where the two equations are solved to find the value of K.  The equations 
are placed into a for loop, and K is resolved for each point on the pullup 
or pulldown curve.  Arpad noted that the K values are calculated and stored 
from the model data when the simulator is initialized, not at run time.

Arpad showed results comparing HSPICE B-element and AMS implementation 
results to data from the source transistor model.  In general, the B-element 
and AMS curves matched closely, but were not identical.

Luca then presented a slightly different version of the code with 
separate structures defining the pullup, pulldown and clamp behaviors.  
The top-level code contained only the concurrent statements of the digital 
logic and transistors.

Luca then went on to explain how to solve an existing problem first noted
when creating models for DDR memory interfaces.  These models connect
their terminations to VCC/2 when used, but the model is extracted with 
fixture voltages of VCC and GND.  The best approach to using this data
in these cases is that, while some simulators can only use two Vt tables 
at a time, different sets of Vt tables may be used at different times or 
depending on the model's initial conditions.  Luca described a four-curve
data set, with fixture voltages set to 0, 1/3*Vcc, 2/3*Vcc and Vcc.  With 
this set of waveforms, the AMS implementation overlays transistor level 
model results across the entire run time.  Luca noted that this approach 
still assumes that all Vt tables have the same R_fixture, which generally 
matches the target system impedance.

A discussion followed regarding loading where Al Davis and others noted
that lower impedance loads will cause more error than higher impedance 
loads for a given set of model data.

Arpad's and Luca's files will be uploaded to the IBIS web site.

IBIS ALGORITHMS REVISITED
Bob Ross, Teraspeed
Bob stated that his slides were part of a larger presentation given
at the IEEE SPI Conference in Siena, Italy earlier this year.  Bob noted
that, early on, IBIS tools settled on a data-processing algorithm 
involving two waveforms, but there are other algorithms possible.  These
include using multiple tables with dynamic interpolation and modeling the 
transistors themselves as was done for the Japanese IMIC specification.  
Recently radial base functions have also been considered.

Bob first explained a very simple algorithm using only ramp data and
assuming a 5 volt linear device driving into a 50 ohm resistive load.
Additional variations, including Norton and Thevenin linear transitions
plus table multipliers were addressed, with a comparison to actual 
waveforms.  Bob showed how two waveforms were required to get independent K 
values for IBIS pullup and pulldown data.

More advanced simulation techniques must handle generalized loading cases, 
rather than loads which are purely resistive.  Bob used a SPICE netlist to 
address the problem, incorporating two models in a feedback loop of an 
operational amplifier, where the amplifier itself drove the scaling or K 
table values.  The input of the amplifier, being connected to output node, 
would then converge on an appropriate solution for the load used.

Finally, Bob addressed overclocking IBIS buffers, where IBIS models are
driven in simulation over shorter periods than allowed by the length
of the Vt waveforms.  Unfortunately, no immediate solution to this
problem is currently available.  A discussion followed the presentation,
in which Al Davis, Arpad Muranyi and Bob examined additional alternatives
for addressing overclocking and buffer characterization.

AD-HOC PRESENTATION ON HOW TO MODEL THE SWITCHING INTO AN UNFINISHED 
EDGE PROBLEM (Ad Hoc)
Arpad Muranyi, Intel Corp.
In addition to his scheduled presentations, Arpad provided an ad-hoc
set of slides addressing the driver overclocking problem.  Using several
image overlays, Arpad demonstrated that overclocked buffers show a 
relatively constant delay between pulldown turning off and pullup
turning on, and vice-versa.  Arpad proposed that this delay could be
characterized and included with other IBIS data as a parameter. 

MODELING ON-DIE TERMINATIONS
Arpad Muranyi, Intel Corp.
Arpad began his presentation by noting some of the more advanced
design features now commonly available, including dynamic clamps,
staged buffers, kicker circuits and the like.  While many of these
features may be difficult to model without intimate knowledge of the
buffer design, a general rule of thumb is that any design aspect 
which is static should be represented through the IBIS clamp tables.  
Users and model makers observing this rule for terminations should 
be careful to use the appropriate rail for correct power and ground 
bounce simulations.  Most especially, double counting of these 
termination features should be avoided whenever possible.

Arpad classified the types of termination as series, parallel or 
switched parallel.  Series termination does not require any special 
analysis for inclusion in IBIS as it will naturally be included in
the IV curve shapes.  Parallel termination behaviors should be placed 
in clamp tables by sweeping the voltage on the pad from -Vcc to
2*Vcc, both using ground referencing and Vcc referencing.  By 
finding the curve which passes through the origin, one can find
the curve set most appropriate in which to include the resistor.  This
curve will be cut at Vcc, while the other will be cut at ground.  The curve
without the resistor can then be normalized or shifted to pass through
the IV origin.  Both curves can then be extrapolated to 2*Vcc.

Switch parallel terminations are commonly implemented by leaving either
the pullup or pulldown active when the device receives.  In this case,
normal I/O IV curves may be created and the appropriate pullup or 
pulldown curve may be copied to a [Submodel] and renamed to be a
dynamic, non-driving clamp.  Example IBIS text for this implementation
was provided.

Finally, Arpad addressed the case where both pullup and pulldown 
terminations are present in a design.  The model maker in this case cannot
be sure how to determine the value of each termination separately when 
only the Thevinen equivalent can be observed.   Lynne Green and
Bob Ross suggested that analysis of the slopes can be used to
help determine where non-linear resistive termination data can be
included.

OTHER DISCUSSIONS AND AD HOC PRESENTATIONS 
Stephen reminded participants that, if they intend to attend DesignCon 
East, they should register as soon as possible. 

Lynne Green gave a brief report on her observations from the DAC floor.  
She noted that a greater number of I/O companies have heard of
IBIS than in previous years, with an increased interest in membership.  
I/O companies and organizations expressed general interest in AMS 
technologies for mixed electrical and mechanical simulations, but not 
necessarily for modeling I/O buffers.  Buffer modeling using AMS 
is likely to become more prevalent within the next two to three years.  

Lynne also mentioned that several tools displayed on the DAC floor 
included support of SPICE, AMS and IBIS together.  Arpad noted that he 
would like to see more AMS implementations with greater model development 
and debugging capabilities.

CONCLUDING ITEMS
Stephen Peters thanked the presenters for the great and informative 
presentations.  After reminding the participants regarding the next 
teleconference meeting, Stephen closed the IBIS Summit Meeting.

NEXT MEETING(S):
The next Open Forum meeting will be the IBIS Summit at DesignCon East
on Monday, June 23, 2003.  Teleconference bridge details will be
distributed separately.

The Open Forum will also hold a meeting on Friday, June 27, 2003 from
8:00 AM to 10:00 AM Pacific time.  A vote on BIRD 74.4 is planned.

From: "Allen Chao" <[email-masked]>
Subject: [IBIS-Users] [IBIS] for a question of s2ibis2, thanks in advance!!

Hi,
First of all, any help will be greatly appreciated. I am a coop student here
and I am in charge of the conversion from Hspice to IBIS model.
I am confused about how to construct [pin mapping] and [pin] in a command
file .s2i. (I am using North Carolina State University's s2ibis2 utility for
automatic Spice model to IBIS Version 2.1 model conversion)
Our device has some switches (by indicating high or low) to control the
transfer speed. I am trying to model the output by grounding or vcc few
inputs. I've tried a lot of cases. Can anyone show me how to ground or vcc
an input?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

Subject: RE: [IBIS-Users] Using IBIS models for VDD droop & Ground Bounce

John,

Sorry for the late reply.  We do use IBIS models for what we
call "Power Delivery" simulations (which is the same thing
you asked about).  However, we only use the buffer model in
IBIS format, and have a more accurate package and PDN model
in different formats.

The new ICM (IBIS Interconnect Model Specification) provides
(now) a much more accurate way to model the passive circuits,
but the new language extensions to the buffer modeling
capabilities of IBIS (BIRD75) will provide further improvements
for buffer modeling also.

As soon as tools begin to support these new features we will be
able to do very accurate power delivery simulations using IBIS
files for the passive as well as the active circuits.

I'm curious as to how many people use IBIS models to simulate VDD Droop 
and Ground Bounce.  Is IBIS even a worthwhile format to try this with? 
Do current simulators do anything with regards to modeling the voltage 
drops across the powerbus on the chip?

HI Arpad,

Can you clarify a little bit more on this? Do you have any papers or
presenations on this topic? For my understanding, it is impossible or very
difficult to model the cross-bar current in IBIS model, but the cross-bar
current is very important for power delivery system simulation. About one
year ago, I did some simulation comparasions between HSPICE model and IBIS
model in power integrity. At that time, the IBIS model behaviored very poor
for some kinds of I/O buffer. I would be very interested to be updated on
new IBIS capabilities on power delivery system simulations. Thanks.

hi,
  i'm trying to make IBIS model for a I/O buffer. i'm giving two cycle (two pulse) of input and enable is there from initialization.
when i compare the netlist simulation result and IBIS model simulation result. i'm getting IBIS model result (in 2nd cycle) very far from the netlist simulation result. in the very first cycle every thing fine both plots are overlapping eachother.
 now 1) shd i give enable after the input means a pulse shd be there on enable.
     2) there are two rising and falling waveforms are generated for two type of load (one to gnd and other to Vcc). and i'm not using ne thing for selecting the ramp up parameter while simulating the IBIS model. we have two parameter called ramp_rwf and ramp_fwf. default value for this 0. so shd i change it to 2.

Hello deepak

 1. What version of hspice are you using ?
      If you are using 2001 version try to replace it to a newer one.
 2. The parameters ramp_rwf and ramp_fwf determine the usage of the Vt
curves. If your model include the Vt curves (... it better be) then
setting the prams to 2 will give you the most accurate results.

Arpad, 

1. The IV curve setup on page 8 of your presentation would give rise to
several IV tables - as many as the number of Vp/Vn steps. How do you
consolidate those tables into single pullup and pulldown IV tables?

2. On the V-t curve setup of page 18, how do you obtain Idiff? 

I'd appreciate your response to the above.

Thanks.

Hassan,

1)  You could use the [Series MOSFET] keyword to describe that
surface.  The only limitation is that is assumes a symmetric
surface, but it allows you up to 100 IV curves.

2)  I suspect that you are talking about page 19, not 18.  Idiff
is the same as "differential current" on pg. 8, 10, 12, 14, 16.

I hope this clarifies your questions.

P.S.--ERROR (line  156) - More Than 100 Voltage Points Provided For =
Pulldown/Pullup.

There are couple problems I would like to solve,
First, while modify from 1.0 to 0.7, it seems cause bigger jump from 0.5 =
to 2.1 (1.5-1.0 and 2.8-0.7), is there anything else cause this problem?
Second, by setting 0.7 as diode default, it will generate over 100 point =
in pulldown and pullup tables, and ibischk3 complain error for that. Do =
we need to update ibischk3? Or any solution we can fix it?
Third, if comparing sweep voltage point from two case, you can see case1 =
is 0.2 or 0.1V, but in case2 it always keep 0.512V. It suppose to like =
this? Or we also change other parameter, such "sweep_step_default" in =
s2idflt.h file?

The fixed s2ibis2 prints 4 digits after the decimal instead of 2. With =
only
2 digits, voltage differences less than 10mV between points make them =
appear
identical.

Also there is a parameter in s2idflt.h:

#define DIODE_DROP_DEFAULT              1.0

This is used by s2ibis2 to jump around in the SPICE data to find =
beginnings

the
1V value makes s2ibis2 jump too far and pick up wrong data or ignore =
data.
Change the value to 0.7, recompile, and s2ibis2 will work better.

I forgot about that part. What I did is:

1) Change SWEEP_STEP_DEFAULT from 0.1 to 0.01 in s2ibis.h

2) Take out the 3 places in setupVoltages() where sweepStep is adjusted
   in a binary fashion:

   /*   while ( ( fabs( *sweepRange_P / *sweepStep_P ) + 1 ) >
MAX_TABLE_SIZE )
            *sweepStep_P *= 2; */

3) Add sweepStep adjustment at the very end of setupVoltages():
    /*------------------------------------------------------------------
    *   (18jan2001) Adjust the sweepStep to keep the table size within
limits.
    *   The SWEEP_STEP_DEFAULT has been decreased from 0.1V to 0.01V. The
    *   binary multiplication algorithm has been replaced by a stepping
    *   algorithm that leaves the final value at some multiple of the
default.
    *   This change provides a number of VI points that is close to
    *   MAX_TABLE_SIZE.
    *------------------------------------------------------------------*/
    {
      double sweepStepInc = *sweepStep_P;

      while ( ROUND(*sweepRange_P / *sweepStep_P) >= MAX_TABLE_SIZE )
        *sweepStep_P += sweepStepInc;
    }

Hi,
I am generating IBIS models for a part. For an I/O buffer model, I am
getting currents in the range of 8-20mA under MIN and MAX conditions,
when
Vtable = 0 for my PULL-UP curves. My TYP condition works fine, and I get
0A
currents for Vtable = 0.

I believe the standard is to have currents lesser than 1mA when Vtable =
0
under ALL conditions. Is there a way I can offset these currents, and
get
them to be less than a milliamp for Vtable = 0?

Thanks,

Eric,

If you intend to use the IBIS model for timing simulation then use the (ac) levels.  If you are going to do noise measurements then you use the (dc) levels.  For the general case I would include two sets of Vinl and Vinh with comments defining when to use each set.

In IBIS 4.0 you can specify all 4 levels directly in the [Receiver Thresholds] block, but I don't know of any simulation checker that recognizes those parameters, yet.

Weston

Can anyone enlighten me as to the significance of this warning?  Will =

From: "Jeremy Plunkett" <[email-masked]>
Subject: RE: [IBIS-Users] RE: Vinh and Vinl definition

Hi Weston,
actually the HSTL and SSTL specifications both indicate that timing is
measured at the VREF crossing (see note 1 under table 2.2-c in the HSTL
spec).  In system simulations you may want to allow for noise on VREF by
measuring timing at the DC levels or a custom set of levels based on the
maximum expected VREF noise at the IO ring of the receiver. Measuring timing
at the AC levels would create an unnecessarily large guardband.

The purpose of the AC levels is to qualify whether an input signal has
overdriven the comparator enough to ensure that the transition is received
with accurate timing (ie acceptable propagation delay through the input
buffer).

In system simulations I measure at all 5 thresholds, which sometimes
requires adding "dummy" input buffers with no capacitance or IV curves to
capture the extra thresholds.

regards,
Jeremy

Hi,

There is actually a third option.

For single ended HSTL inputs, the HSTL standard specifies 0.75 V (Vref) as reference point for input waveform timing. Likewise VDDQ/2 for output timing.

Eric,

If you intend to use the IBIS model for timing simulation then use the (ac) levels.  If you are going to do noise measurements then you use the (dc) levels.  For the general case I would include two sets of Vinl and Vinh with comments defining when to use each set.

In IBIS 4.0 you can specify all 4 levels directly in the [Receiver Thresholds] block, but I don't know of any simulation checker that recognizes those parameters, yet.

Regards,
Weston

Dear Mr. Kingen,
 
As I understand the message, the currents specified in the I-V tables
of the model are simply insufficient to drop enough voltage across a
50 ohm load resistor to reach 1.5 volts at the output of the driver.
The message is meant to point out an inconsistency in the data of the
model.
 
I believe Vmeas is used only for timing measurements (so I suppose you could risk ignoring the message if you are not interested in timing simulations).  I know at least one simulator that will refuse
to run a timing simulation when the model generates that warning.
 
Best regards,

Subject: [IBIS-Users] IBIS VMEAS and VREF Question.

I am getting the following warning when I run my model thru the parser:
 
WARNING - Model 'I_O2': MIN VI curves cannot drive through Vmeas=1.5V
          given load Rref=50 Ohms to Vref=0V

Can anyone enlighten me as to the significance of this warning?  Will the simulator in general have a problem?  The WInIBIS data looks good.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Rick Kingen
