Subject: hspice failed on io_buffer IBIS model
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=koi8-r
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

 Hi, all!
 I have a problem with IBIS model that I created via s2ibis: when I run
hspice with this model using "b_io" instance statement (actually the
customer needs run it), the error "incorrect Pull_Down and/or Pull_Up
data" appears, but tables itself looks ok in *.ibs file.I use 1999.2
version of the Star-Hspice.
 Maybe someone has experience with using IBIS buffer model in hspice &
debugging of same errors? 
 Thank you for your help.
 Regards,
         Dmitry

If you have your maintenance in force, your best bet would be
to call the HSPICE hotline: 800.346.5953.

If you don't have maintenance in force, why not?

Hi IBIS gurus,
               Is there anyone in the users group who is using the NT
version of the s2ibis tool (Spice to IBIS translator)?  Please reply to
me if you are.

Thanks,

Can you tell me if you plan to enhance the golden parser to accept the
longer filenames (20 character basename plus .ibs) supported in Version
3.2?  I just downloaded the latest ibischk3 (V3.2.7) but it complains
about name lengths longer than 12.

Linda:

If the file is given 

  [IBIS Ver] 3.2

no errors should be issued.

However, if the file is given

  [IBIS Ver] 2.1

or below, you will get the name length error.

IBIS Version 2.1 files still have the 12 character
total name length restriction.

Hi,

The circuit to simulate is: a differential buffer driving a transformer.
The model we received for the IC device is an IBIS model. The question
is: Can IBIS model be used within HSPICE for analog simulation ?

Thanks,
Dorin

Jason,

     I'm not sure what translator you are using but the HSPICE translator
will by default use ramp data for determining switching characteristics in
DC and transient analysis.  You can specify that the translator use the
rising and falling waveform data instead.  See Chapter 18 of the Avanti
HSPICE User's Manual.

Dear Jason Leung,

What IBIS translator are you referring to?  The IBIS Golden Parser (IBISCHK3
ver 3.2.7) will flag the model as invalid.

Best regards,
Matthew Flora

Jason,
Even if your simulator's translator doesn't complain, your simulator may go
nuts and give VERY "interesting" results.  Go back to your supplier and
insist that the ramp data match the VT data.

Hi Matthew Flora:
Thanks for your comment . I am using IBIS2XTK V5.01 , but the golden Parser
doesn't show any error message at the end.

Thanks alot

Jason,

One subtle point here is whether, or not, the [Model] that has this dV/dt_r
parameter also has waveform tables. If it does, the [Ramp] parameters should
be ignored by the simulator, anyway.

Neverthless, as has been suggested already, I would also strongly encourage
you to throw the model back at the vendor that supplied it.

This sort of clumsy or outright bad modeling continues in part, I believe,
because we, as consumers, tweak this and change that without letting our
suppliers know they are producing garbage. Sorry to rant on, but this is a
pet subject of mine because it wastes too much of my time and WAY TOO MUCH
of my customers' time. If it was a part for my car brakes that didn't quite
fit, what would I do? Closer to the point, if it was a VHDL model that
wasn't quite right and the ASIC didn't work, what would you and your
management do.

Signed,
Mr. Angry
(Tony Angry, that is!)

Hi Aubrey Sparkman:
So even though the translator doesn't complain about the zero rise time in the
driver model, the translator will go "nuts" ehh? So the waveform come after
the simulation will have no meaning ehh?
what do you mean by" ramp data match the VT data"?
thanks alot
Jason Leung

Not all simulators use the [Rising Waveform] and [Falling Waveform] data if
it's there.  That is one reason why IBIS requires the [Ramp] data even if
the waveforms are also provided.

Even if the simulator does use the waveform tables, is it prohibited from
looking at the [Ramp] data?  Conceivably, its algorithms might use the
[Ramp] data, either to enhance its accuracy somehow, or as an internal
"sanity check" that the tables and [Ramp] data are consistent.

Presumably, the 0/0 values mean the person who created the IBIS data sheet,
didn't finish.  There may be valid reasons for doing that; perhaps this is a
preliminary model and its customers know and understand that.  I won't argue
that it needs to be fixed, but I don't know the circumstances here.

In the interim, personally I would want to avoid 0/0, since it might be
mathematically problematic, with unpredictable results.  If I were you, I'd
substitute something like 1/1, which I think should be less likely to cause
an unexpected outcome.  Either the simulator doesn't use it, or you should
see very slow rising edges in your simulations which should stand out and
tell you that this model is incomplete for those edges.  That is better than
the simulator blowing its brain to bits and scribbling all over your disk or
something.

Jason,

     If  V/t data is included in the IBIS datasheet a solution might be to
determine the slope of the line defined by the 20% and 80% points of the
V/t waveform and use this value for the ramp parameter of interest.  As
previously mentioned you should not have to do this 'fix'.

Andy,

I think you have a pretty good handle on what is likely to happen.
I can expand a little ...

Some environments use the Ramp data to make some basic decisions about
how to set up the simulations.

e.g. which driver on a bi-directional net is likely to cause the
greatest amount of crosstalk.

The infinite edge rate in this case could cause unintended results
even before it gets to the simulator.

Jason,
Yes, I have seen a simulator go nuts and produce a very strange meaningless
waveform.  Problem went away when the [Ramp] data was corrected.

ramp data matching the VT data means that they should agree, both come from
time-based data, perhaps even the same load.

From a purist point of view, I'm not an IBIS expert and I don't want to
change the data my supplier gives me.  But if your boss wants results NOW
with your best GUESS, as another suggested, you can build your own Ramp data
from the V/T data.  Use the Rising Waveform for the dV/dt_r (R_fixture to
ground if there are two).  Use the Falling Waveform for the dV/dt_f
(R_fixture to V_fixtuer if there are two).
dV=0.6*(Vmax-Vmin)
dt_x is the difference in time between the 20% and 80% voltage points.

Good Luck!

Larry:

The IBIS Connector Specification is still being developed.
There are no official IBIS models or users at this time.

You would need to contact EDA Vendors directly regarding their
connector modeling solutions.

Hi all:
Morning!
I am trying to obtain the output impedance of a driver, so that I can
match the driver with a transmission line and proper termination.
The way that I have tried is I used the IBIS model and then translate
the model into QUAD model, so that I can used the XNS to observe their
rising and falling waveform. Moreover I am trying to find its output
impedance in XNS.
My question is : Does anyone ever try finding the output impedance of a
driver? AND how did you achieve that?

Thanks very much for your comment!

Jason,

The DC impedance can be found by dividing V/I on the IV curve of
the buffer.  You will find that you get a different value at
practically any of the voltages due to the non linear shape of
the IV curve.  Plus, the process variation of a chip can give
you a variation on the order of 2-3x.  So finding the impedance
and matching the T-line to it is like shooting at a moving target.

The reason I said DC impedance above is because the capacitive
components of the buffer will also alter the impedance of the
buffer a higher frequencies.

Hi all:
Morning!
I am trying to obtain the output impedance of a driver, so that I can
match the driver with a transmission line and proper termination.
The way that I have tried is I used the IBIS model and then translate
the model into QUAD model, so that I can used the XNS to observe their
rising and falling waveform. Moreover I am trying to find its output
impedance in XNS.
My question is : Does anyone ever try finding the output impedance of a
driver? AND how did you achieve that?

Thanks very much for your comment!

Jason,

If the ibis model has been extracted correctly, then the Ramp data
will tell you what the saturated output impedance is.

The IBIS V/I curves give you the impedance of an output buffer
at any voltage.  I usually use 1 volts as a good place to measure
impedance, since it is in the linear portion of the buffer curve.
For the pullup and pulldown curve, go to the 1V row and read
off the current.  Since R=V/I, the output channel resistance can
be calculated.

For example, if at 1 Volt the current is 35mA, then the
output impedance is 28.57 ohms.

regards,

scott

Hi Scott McMorrow :
Thanks very much for your advice!
So if we wanted to find the output impedance for the driver ,we just have to

go to 1V row and then read off the corresponding current value eh?
Should I do that on the Pull up curve or the pull down curve?

If you do both you will find there is usually a difference in pullup and
pulldown impedance.  Makes the design job more interesting.  What trade-off
are you going to make?

Hi Muranyi, Arpad:
Thanks for your advice!
one more question I would like to ask you: because I have been asked from
my colleague to use
XTK/XNS to find the output impedance of the driver, I know that in the
spawn -> VI viewer ,
we can import the corresponding .wvi curve to observe the waveform.
Among all those waveform, you can just pick on one waveform, and then do a

delta x and delta y function, then you will be able to find the impedance.

However, there are so many curves I have to choose(shunt and high, shunt
and low and many
many more) , do u know which one I have to choose for an accurate
approximation of the
output impedance of the driver .
The whole point here is , since I know I can find the output impedance of
the driver in the IBIS model
I also wanted to try and find the output impedance of the driver in the
XNS (QUAD) model ,so that
I am able to compare what we have before the simulation and after the
simulation( i.e. how the XTK/XNS
interpret the output impedance of that driver ).

thanks alot
Jason Leung

Jason,

The curves shown in the VI viewer are identical (in most cases) to the
tables in the IBIS file.  You can use the output XTK file directly just as
you did with the IBIS file using the following mapping.

	IBIS          XTK
	------        -------
	Pullup        High
	Pulldown      Low
       POWER_Clamp   Shunt
       GND_Clamp     Shunt_Neg


However...

It is somewhat dangerous to provide only a single static impedance value as
others have pointed out due to the large variance over the typical operating
range, current state, process variation, and dynamic switching nature.  But
if you are trying to perform a first-order approximation then you must first
decide which voltage range(s) and which state(s) is of the most importance
to your application because Z will vary with both state and voltage range.

In some sense you should ask your colleague what he will use the Z value for
because that will determine which Z value you give him.

For instance if he wants to know what voltage will propagate down the TLine
during the initial rising edge then you might approximate the Z by
connecting two points on the HIGH VI curve in the middle of the operating
range.  This is poor approximation for at least three reasons:  1) The VI
curve may be non-linear, 2) The transition from off to on may be non-linear,
3) The opposing state (LOW) may still be driving simultaneously and turns
off non-linearly.

Another example is that your colleague may want to use the driver Z to
insure that reflections are absorbed.  In this case you would need to figure
out in which voltage range/state the reflections will occur.  If they occur
above/below the operating range of the device then the shunt curves (diodes)
will come into play...

Another methodology would be to create a linear driver (one with VI curves
of constant slope) and that is tweaked until its response matches the
response of the driver you are trying to approximate.

My advice is to instead of providing an impedance, give him waveforms that
cover all of the driving/loading cases (TLine/Receivers/Terminators/Process)
you are expecting to see.

Good luck,

Chris Rokusek
Innoveda

You have to add up all of the curves which are ON and then
calculate the impedance. This may consist of a pulldown
plus GND_clamp, plus Vcc_clamp if it is driving low, or
pullup, and the same two clamps when it is driving high.

I hope this helps,

Hi Muranyi, Arpad:
Thanks for your advice!
one more question I would like to ask you: because I have been asked from
my colleague to use
XTK/XNS to find the output impedance of the driver, I know that in the
spawn -> VI viewer ,
we can import the corresponding .wvi curve to observe the waveform.
Among all those waveform, you can just pick on one waveform, and then do a

delta x and delta y function, then you will be able to find the impedance.

However, there are so many curves I have to choose(shunt and high, shunt
and low and many
many more) , do u know which one I have to choose for an accurate
approximation of the
output impedance of the driver .
The whole point here is , since I know I can find the output impedance of
the driver in the IBIS model
I also wanted to try and find the output impedance of the driver in the
XNS (QUAD) model ,so that
I am able to compare what we have before the simulation and after the
simulation( i.e. how the XTK/XNS
interpret the output impedance of that driver ).

thanks alot
Jason Leung

Hi Scott McMorrow :
Thanks very much for your advice!
So if we wanted to find the output impedance for the driver ,we just have to

go to 1V row and then read off the corresponding current value eh?
Should I do that on the Pull up curve or the pull down curve?

thanks

Jason,

If the ibis model has been extracted correctly, then the Ramp data
will tell you what the saturated output impedance is.

The IBIS V/I curves give you the impedance of an output buffer
at any voltage.  I usually use 1 volts as a good place to measure
impedance, since it is in the linear portion of the buffer curve.
For the pullup and pulldown curve, go to the 1V row and read
off the current.  Since R=V/I, the output channel resistance can
be calculated.

For example, if at 1 Volt the current is 35mA, then the
output impedance is 28.57 ohms.

regards,

scott

If you do both you will find there is usually a difference in pullup and
pulldown impedance.  Makes the design job more interesting.  What trade-off
are you going to make?

Jason,

I prefer to measure (delta V)/(delta I) from the linear portion of the
transistor curves.  I just eyeball the curves and pick points from the
largest portion of the curve I can perceive as "linear" (squinting is
optional). There are potential pitfalls as Chris points out, but for common
application the technique seems to work just fine.  It's just a starting
point anyway, as you should use simulation to test your assumptions.

As others have pointed out, be sure the check the slopes for both the pullup
and pulldown devices, as you need to balance the needs of both edges.
Should you find yourself dealing with one transistor significantly stronger
than the other, parallel termination to either power or ground may be in
order, as was discussed last week.

Todd.

Jason,

The curves shown in the VI viewer are identical (in most cases) to the
tables in the IBIS file.  You can use the output XTK file directly just as
you did with the IBIS file using the following mapping.

	IBIS          XTK
	------        -------
	Pullup        High
	Pulldown      Low
       POWER_Clamp   Shunt
       GND_Clamp     Shunt_Neg


However...

It is somewhat dangerous to provide only a single static impedance value as
others have pointed out due to the large variance over the typical operating
range, current state, process variation, and dynamic switching nature.  But
if you are trying to perform a first-order approximation then you must first
decide which voltage range(s) and which state(s) is of the most importance
to your application because Z will vary with both state and voltage range.

In some sense you should ask your colleague what he will use the Z value for
because that will determine which Z value you give him.

For instance if he wants to know what voltage will propagate down the TLine
during the initial rising edge then you might approximate the Z by
connecting two points on the HIGH VI curve in the middle of the operating
range.  This is poor approximation for at least three reasons:  1) The VI
curve may be non-linear, 2) The transition from off to on may be non-linear,
3) The opposing state (LOW) may still be driving simultaneously and turns
off non-linearly.

Another example is that your colleague may want to use the driver Z to
insure that reflections are absorbed.  In this case you would need to figure
out in which voltage range/state the reflections will occur.  If they occur
above/below the operating range of the device then the shunt curves (diodes)
will come into play...

Another methodology would be to create a linear driver (one with VI curves
of constant slope) and that is tweaked until its response matches the
response of the driver you are trying to approximate.

My advice is to instead of providing an impedance, give him waveforms that
cover all of the driving/loading cases (TLine/Receivers/Terminators/Process)
you are expecting to see.

Good luck,

This might be a simple question, but I couldn't find it in any of the
documentation...

Can IBIS model an input with a build in termination?  

I created a model with the termination in the spice simulation (for
s2ibis).  The ibischk3 didn't report any problems with it.  But when I
simulated it in Hspice, first Hspice complained that the current wasn't
0 at gnd (for gnd clamp) and 0 at vdd (for power clamp).  The resultant
waveforms were the correct shape but offset from the proper voltage (I
ran the transistor version of the input in the same circuit for
comparison).

I then removed the termination and recreated the ibis model.  I
resimulated with an external termination in Hspice (but connected
directly to the input node) and everything matched fine.

Chris,
This sounds like an HSpice problem.  Many of the models I use have pull-up
terminators modeled in the power clamp.  I see no reason why one couldn't
model a termination to ground in the ground clamp.

Chris,

We do this all the time without any problems in the
waveforms (with the B-element).  From your description,
it sounds like your clamp waveforms are not correct.
Even if you have on die terminations, the clamp curves
should go through the origin.

For example, if you have a termination that is connected
to GND, your GND_clamp IV curve will look similar to
a pulldown IV curve.  In this case the Power_clamp IV
curve should look like a normal diode curve having about
zero current between GND and Vcc.

If you have a terminator to Vcc, the mirror of the previous
description should be true.  Notice that the IV curve have
zero current at the origin in both cases.  If your curves
don't look like this, than your buffer has either some
fancy features (other than a normal terminator) or the
IBIS model was not generated correctly.  Keep in mind that
it is very easy to double count for the terminator in these
IV curves, and some numerical massaging of the data may be
necessary to get it right.

I do have a few foils on this issue in my IBIS class presentation
which you can get from

http://www.eigroup.org/ibis/ibis.htm

under Articles/Training/IBIS_class_JEDEC.ZIP, in the PDF file,
pages 78-81.

Hi Michael:
Thanks for showing me the way to find the output impedance!! It really helps me.

Now, I would like to show you some interesting results:
Right now I am working on LVT162244 from TI and I am trying to measure the
output impedance of the driver .I have used the method you show me to do (i.e.
-motive and I am able to get the output impedance for the high state which is
36.5 ohms and output impedance for the low
state which is 29.81 ohms) .
The schematic  that I have used for testing is :


[Image]

where I have got a driver ->tline of 0.01 inch 60 ohms , series resistance
->tline of 10 inch 60 ohms-> and receiver.

Since I wanted to compare the real value for the  output impedance of the driver
, I have tried different values for the series termination.
The calculations are like these: I assumed  the output impedance of the driver
is in high state , so RH=36.5 , in order to match that with the tline,
I have to use 23.5 ohms for the series termination, and I do the same thing by
assuming the output impedance of the driver is in low state, then
the series termination is 30.19 ohms . The third case is (RH+RL)/2 =33.2 so the
series termination 60-33.2 =26.8 ohms.the last case is when the series
termination is 60 ohms

and you can see from the output waveform :

[Image]


here we see that the red curve is with series termination of 23.5 ohms , and the
one below the red curve is when series termination of 26.8 ohms
and the third one is when  series termination of 30.15 ohms and finally series
termination of 60 ohms.
This is interesting to us because at the red curve where series termination is
23.5 ohms the rising edge is ok , but the falling edge is not ok .
When the series termination is 26.845 ohms , the  rising edge is not ok , but
the falling edge is  ok. Also when the series termination is 30.19 ohms , the
rising edge is not ok , but the falling edge is  ok.Finally for the series
termination is 60 ohms , the  rising edge is not ok , but the falling edge is
not ok.
My question is how do we determine the output impedance for the driver in this
case, whether we should use RH , RL or (RH+RL)/2 . ???
Please feel free to comment.
Thanks
Jason Leung
