[SI-LIST] Chip capacitance effect for SSN simulation - ANOTHER QUESTION FOR IBIS MODEL

Hi folks
I'm sorry to bother you again on this topic

during some email exchange, I had some feedback regarding the non accuracy
of IBIS model to simulate SSN

I'm using Ansoft DesignerSI and I include IBIS model, then for each DDR I/O
I switch off the "ideal" power and I feed IBIS model with my PDN system

I got feedback that this is not accurate if IBIS model does not include I-T
table.

Looking at SI-LIST archive I found out an interesting paper from Sigrity,
attached for reference

So from my understanding it seems that voltage modulation of IBIS pwr pin is
possible due to pull-up / pull-down I-V curves
So if I have pwr noises on IBIS pwr pin I should also get modulated output
current and this effect output signal

Is my understanding correct?

If yes, which is now the lack of accuracy in IBIS model for simulating SSN?

as pointed out in this presentation, I got a confirmation about the missing
information of C_die parasitic effect

are there any other missing information compared to SPICE model?

Thanks in advance again for your support and feedback

Cheers
Cris
