[SI-LIST] Re: IBIS model for CML differential buffers

Mohammad, I don't believe modeling CML differential buffers in the IBIS
format can be done yet.  The speeds are extremely fast, 2.5 to 3.125Gbs,
with sub-100ps risetimes, so the accuracy of transistor models is
required. Also just about all CML I/O have various levels of transmitter
pre-emphasis and/or receiver equalization, which is not handled by the
IBIS spec today.
My suggestion is to use spice models.

Subject: [SI-LIST] IBIS model for CML differential buffers


Dear SI members,

Can anybody point me to some resource links (any article, paper or
presentations) where I can find some helpful information on how to
accurately generate IBIS models (pullup, pulldown, PC, GC etc.) for
CML (current mode logic) differential buffers? So far I have 
succefully created models for TTL, CMOS and LVDS buffers operating 
upto 622 Mb/s range. IBIS official websites and some EDA vendors
websites and discussion pages have some model development topics, 
but none of them about CML technology. 

Hazem Hegazy from Mentor Graphics and Arpad Muranyi from Intel 
delivered excellent articles and presentations on LVDS modeling. I
am looking for something like those but on CML technologies.

Any helpful hints or links would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
