Internal Project: IBIS Simulation Model Quality Research Paper
Project Description
As part of our continuing work in device modeling we undertook our own survey of the quality of IBIS models in the semiconductor industry.
Tools & Equipment Used
SharkSim was used to view and validate IBIS simulation models along with the IBIS Parser.
Overview of Work Performed
A sample of publicly available IBIS simulation models was downloaded from silicon vendor websites. The IBIS model files was validated using a metric system based upon the number of quality errors and type of errors. An informal survey of engineers using IBIS simulation models generated user opinion data on quality of IBIS models and issues facing the industry.
Final Results
The data was used to write a research paper on issues with current IBIS models and recommend a proposed process flow to avoid these type of errors.
