Wow Todd! I'm impressed at your quick work. I've never see a company issue
a press release in response to a posting on the SI-LIST :). Hope the show
is going well for you guys.

Eric,
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "out of the box", but I can tell you
that SiSoft's Quantum Channel Designer (QCD) has provided native support
for IBIS-AMI models since its introduction at DesignCon 2008. QCD uses
IBIS-AMI models to support both Statistical and Time-Domain simulations,
producing Statistical/Persistent eyes, bathtub curves, BER predictions and
many other outputs.
We have actively driven the AMI standard since late 2006, publishing the
first AMI reference models, performance data and correlation results. We
provided the first test bench simulator (a free download) to ensure
algorithmic models comply with the standard. If you happen to be at
DesignCon, we are presenting a paper on IBIS-AMI model correlation at 9AM
tomorrow morning.
There are a number of IBIS-AMI design kits currently available from
multiple vendors, including validated IBIS-AMI models that run in QCD "out
of the box". You can find more information about these kits at:

Subject: [SI-LIST] IBIS-AMI Vendor Support Help
Hello
I have been looking at channel designers from Mentor, Cadence, SiSoft, and
Sigrity that claim to support AMI models. However, to date I have only seen
Sigrity's channel designer support AMI models "out of the box", and can
generate the BER curves, and statistical eye's.
In the case of Mentor, it looks like they only have special support for the
Xilinx models embedded within the kit (? is this correrct ?). I assume this
means Mentor does not yet have a tool where you can take any vendors AMI
model and just drop into a schematic unless you work with them to develop a
kit similar to Xilinx.
Does anyone know if/how Mentor (Hyperlynx GHz), Cadence (Signal Explorer),
and SiSoft (Quantum Channel Designer) support out of the box AMI models?
Best Regards,
Eric
