[james.f.peterson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Yinko,

I believe the model was made incorrectly. The "test" waveform (based on
either a dv/dt number or a V/T curve), should have had a load that =
matched
the data sheet - which in this case would have included a Cref of 50pf. =
If
it doesn't, then the timing analysis will be inaccurate. It should show =
a
longer delay (because of the double dipping effect of the timing in the =
data
sheet with a 50pf load and the timing in the SI analysis). A longer =
delay is
more conservative when looking at setup timing, but is less =
conservative and
a problem when looking at hold times. In other words, it can be telling =
you
that your hold time is good when it's really not.

call your model maker and ask them to fix the problem.

Subject: [SI-LIST] About the Cref in IBIS Model


Hi,

I got a IBIS Model file from the device producer.=20
I find this text in one output model :      Rref =3D 500ohms . and no =
Cref=20
here.
But in the DataSheet of this device, it told me the t_pd measurement=20
information is
                                RL =3D 500ohms to GND,  CL =3D 50pf to GND .

I want to caculate the propogation delay and final settle delay of this =

device. I'm using
cadence's SpecctraQuest tool. So I think I should add 'Cref =3D 50pf' =
to the=20
IBIS file. Am I right?

Who can tell me how to do it?

thanks


Yinko
