[SI-LIST] Re: Temperature variable in SI simulation

Hi Chetan,

IBIS models accounts for high/low temperatures in the "min" and "max"
data values. In the same way, they account for the variations of the
supply voltage and the fabrication process.
That is, the I-V and V-T tables have:
1) a "typical" column, whose data are extracted from a buffer in typical
PVT (process/voltage/temperature) conditions;
2) a "max" column, whose data  are extracted from a buffer in the fast
PVT (process/voltage/temperature) conditions (e.g., max temperature,
fast process and high supply level, or whichever mix of these conditions
is fastest);
3) a "min" column, whose data  are extracted from a buffer in the slow
PVT (process/voltage/temperature) conditions (e.g., max temperature,
fast process and high supply level, or whichever mix of these conditions
is slower).

Thus, you just need to set your preferred EDA tool in order to simulate
with the set of data you want.

Hope it helps,
Luca
