BPro: SPISim’s IBIS modeling tool… “B” for “IBIS”
Application Scopes:
- IBIS model data visualization and inspection;
- Full IBIS model generation flow: from Spice to IBIS and also IBIS to Spice.
- IBIS model figure of merits (FOM) reporting;
- Support from IBIS V3.2 (signal only) to IBIS V5.1 (power aware) model generation.
Key Features:
- Easy operation to inspect and visualize IBIS modeling data, cross referenced between texture content and waveform curve;
- Easy switching between TYP/MIN/MAX only corners or VCC/VSS relative voltage reference plot;
- Generate IBIS model either from scratch (buffer design) or existing simulation data;
- Best-known-method based flow for IBIS model generation:
- Reusable configuration, optional call-back scripts for customized flow;
- Set-up testbench circuit to drive buffer model;
- Simulate with customized simulator (default is HSpice) in multi-threaded mode;
- Optimized data processing and point selection to generate compact yet accurate model;
- Fine tuning capabilities for easy overclocking while maintaining accuracy;
- Golden checker for syntax check and debug;
- Generate test bench validating generated IBIS model;
- Figure of merit quality reporting;
- IBIS to spice conversion to be used in Spice3f5 based simulator.
- Work on top of VPro or MPro module to leverage existing capabilities;
- Built-in IBIS checker and BSIM compatible spice simulator. Works with other simulators like HSpice, Eldo and Spectra as well.
