> I need to perform some high speed simulations (over 3GHz) for my

> purposes, whereas most of the vendors provide only spice models and
> not IBIS. Although HyperLynx can convert Spice models to IBIS, it does
> need a Spice simulator to do that.

> 2. Has anyone had experience with converting 3D spice models to IBIS?
> What are the tradeoffs?
> 3. HyperLynx has three levels of licenses - regular, EXT and GHZ.
> Which one should I be using?
