[ibis-macro] CTLE and Wave Shape filtering?

 A question to the group.

Modern SERDES Tx and Rx circuits can employ both continuous time linear equalizers (CTLE) at both the transmitter and receiver. In addition, wave shape filtering is often employed to control the Tx output spectrum. By definition, these circuits are in the analog domain, and as a first approximation are linear time invariant (LTI).

How are these elements being handed with current AMI models within the proposed comprehensive set of simulation flows, since IBIS Tx drivers have only a partial ability to model wave shaping, and no ability to model a CTLE? Are they currently being included as additional external circuit models to be concatenated with the remainder of the Analog channel?

Regards,

Scott
