Linda, Unfortunately, IBIS 1.1 assumes that the [Ramp] load is 50 ohms (the R_load parameter was added after 1.1). As a result, you would have to scale your [Ramp] data to be appropriate to a 50 ohm load. Correlation of the new model to the IBIS 3.2 data or, better yet, the original circuit design or lab measurements, would be a must to ensure the model reflects reality after so many changes. At this stage, I would concur with Lynne Green and suggest contacting your tool's technical team about support for more advanced IBIS versions. - Michael Mirmak Intel Corp.

Michael, Thank you very much for reply. In my version 3.2 IBIS model, the R_load = 100. You mentioned "If the [Ramp] in the original 3.2 file used a 50 ohm load, you should have a 1.1-compliant IBIS file after the changes". Does it mean I can't convert it to version 1.1 if the load is not 50ohm? thanks, Linda "Mirmak, Michael" <michael.mirmak@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Linda, Assuming the file is relatively simple and built correctly, you can do this conversion manually by deleting the V-t tables (the keywords [Rising Waveform] and [Falling Waveform] and the data with them). Change the [IBIS Ver] entry to "1.1" and run the IBISCHK4 parser on the file. Remove any keywords or subparameters that cause errors. If the [Ramp] in the original 3.2 file used a 50 ohm load, you should have a 1.1-compliant IBIS file after the changes. Note that you may lose more than a little detail in the response of the buffer -- IBIS 1.1 only supported simple ramp rates under the [Ramp] keyword. Other useful keywords and buffer types are not supported under IBIS 1.1 either. In other words, the conversion may give you a file that is compliant to 1.1, but is far less useful! - Michael Mirmak Intel Corp.

The IBIS to PSPICE converter only works for IBIS version 1.1, but the vendor gives me the IBIS model of version 3.2. I have to run it in PSPICE. Does anyone know how to convert ver 3.2 to ver 1.1?
