Khalid,
The spice2ibis process is set up for buffers with a single pin, it really
does not support LVDS buffers. There are ways of using the spice2ibis
process to extract lvds buffers, but it only works if the buffer is
relatively simple, no pre-emphasis or internal termination. Otherwise, you
will have to extract the data manually by running SPICE simulations in much
the same way a tester would extract the data from silicon..
Both XTK and Specctraquest/SigXP import IBIS models into native formats
which can be used for simulation, and it is pretty easy....
For Specctraquest/SigXP, RLGC data can be copied directly into transmission
line, connector, package, or other types of interconnect models for use in
simulation. However, it is not straight forward and you may have to
contact Cadence tech support for help on this...
