David,

 

The DjRj jitter syntax was part of the original AMI spec in IBIS 5.0 and
is still somewhat under-defined, and therefore subject to interpretation
(in my opinion, anyway).

 

As I see it, the relationship is this:

 

        (Tx_Jitter  (Usage Info) (Type Float) (DjRj -2.5e-12  2.5e-12
0.5e-12) (Description "Tx Jitter."))

 

Equates to:

 

        (Tx_Dj  (Usage Info) (Type Float) (Value 2.5e-12) (Description "Tx
Dj."))

        (Tx_Rj  (Usage Info) (Type Float) (Value 0.5e-12) (Description "Tx
Rj."))

 

This is telling the simulator that the TX output should have uniform
probability jitter 5ps in width, in addition to random jitter with a one
sigma peak value of 0.5ps.

 

Between the two forms of expressing jitter, I would recommend using the
latter, as it's now part of the IBIS 6.0 spec and is not subject to
ambiguity in interpretation.

 

Todd.

Subject: [ibis-macro] Help on "RjDj" option for "Tx_Jitter" in 5.1?

 

Hi experts,

 

Can anyone offer help on interpreting the meaning of the first two numbers
provided for Tx_Jitter, under 5.1, when the RjDj option has been chosen?

Is min. supposed to be the negative of max., or zero?

 

Thanks,

-db
