The IBIS Open Forum is pleased to announce that the IBIS Interconnect SPICE Subcircuit (IBIS-ISS) specification ver. 1.0 has been released and it is now officially available! IBIS-ISS is intended as a universal specification for description of interconnects, including PCB traces, connectors, cables and related elements, using subcircuits structured according to a tool-agnostic SPICE definition. Touchstone network parameters and tabular W-elements are supported. The IBIS Open Forum is grateful to Synopsys for their kind donation of documentation related to HSPICE for use as the basis for the development of IBIS-ISS as a non-proprietary industry-wide format. The IBIS-ISS specification document may be downloaded at the link below: http://www.eda.org/ibis/ibis-iss_ver1.0/ibis-iss_ver1_0.pdf Questions and comments are welcome. Thanks to the participants in the IBIS Interconnect Task Group as well as those in the industry who provided input, comments and suggestions! - Michael Mirmak Intel Corp.
