Adam--
Thanks for your help. Could you clarify:
What is the "appropriate voltage" on nd_en? Is it 1V for enable and 0V for
disable?

Patrick,
For I/O buffers used as input buffers connect the 'signal in' to nd_out,
tie nd_in to ground via a 0V voltage source, and put the buffer in the
disable state with the appropriate voltage on nd_en.
For I/O buffers used as output buffers connect 'signal in' to nd_in, and
put the buffer in the enable state with the appropriate voltage on nd_en.
If you are connecting these buffers as drivers and receivers, connect the
transmission line to the output buffer at nd_out and connect it to the
input buffer at nd_out also.

Subject: [SI-LIST] HSpice IBIS Input/Output Buffer syntax
I'm assuming someone out there has used an Ibis I/O buffer in HSpice.
I was hoping you could clarify something for me:
For an input buffer, the node which connects to the circuit is nd_in, which
receives the signal sent to the buffer.
For an output buffer, the node which connects to the circuit is nd_out,
which sends a signal to the rest of the circuit. The output of this node
is
controlled by nd_in, which is where you connect your pulse voltage source
or
whatever other stimulus you would like.
For an input/output buffer, there is another node called nd_en, to which
you
must also attach a voltage source. What is this node for?
It stands to reason that nd_out is what is connected to the rest of the
circuit, which acts as both an input and an output, depending on the state
of the buffer, and that nd_in is where you connect your stimulus when the
buffer is acting as an output buffer, but what about nd_en? Does this node
get the same stimulus as nd_in? Does it just get a 1 or a 0 dependent upon
the state of the buffer?
I would appreciate any input. Thanks.
