Hello everyone, Here comes the long awaited template I promised in our last meeting that I would send to the group. This is essentially the same pre-emphasis buffer I showed in my IBIS Summit Presentation last summer, except that his is now based on the building blocks of our Verilog-A macro model library. The block diagram of the template can be found on p. 12 of the presentation: http://www.eda.org/pub/ibis/summits/jun05/muranyi.pdf The attachments are actually .ZIP files, I just had to rename them to get them through the mailer. Please change their extension back to .ZIP. The "PreDeTemplate.zip" file contains a complete set of files for HSPICE. The top level .SP file provides the stimulus, supply and load for the buffer. The "PreDeMacro.va" file in the "AMS_files" directory is the "template" which calls the elements from the library file "IBIS_macro_library.va". If you want to see what the waveforms are when the buffer is driven by a 10101 or 111000111 pattern, you can switch the two PULSE sources in the top level .SP file. I am also including another "release of the day" .ZIP file with the usual test suite and the library because in the process of preparing the template I discovered a few mistakes (bugs) in the IBIS buffer building blocks in the library, which are now fixed in this version. (The library appears in both .ZIP files, but they are identical). As usual, any comments are welcome, and enjoy! Arpad ======================================================
