Deepak, You completely misunderstood Pugahz's question. He was talking about the beginning of the V-t curves having a certain amount of horizontal line before the transition (edge) begins. This is a very common thing in IBIS models and this "dead time" represents a delay inside the buffer.

But never seen a model with intial delay.. your model looks like a more then IBIS model and less then Spice model.. you should follow the IBIS syntax and remove the unnecessary informations. are there any standard timing specification for DDR3 Controller? >> this depends upon the vendors..usually they provide a track lenght and mismatch between different groups of signal..(it depends upon the substrate delay or chip internal delay). As you are making you own controller, you need to find out an internal delay and then start a simulation... based on best result you have to create a guideline to user... this guideline will be based on internal delay plus condition to get a best performance and pcb track delay.. refer this pdf for more information or standard http://www.hynix.com/inc/pdfDownload.jsp?path=/datasheet/Timing_Device/D DR3_device_operation_timing_diagram.pdf Best of luck, Deepak On 22 October 2010 15:32, Pugazharasan Selvanathan - ERS, HCL Tech < pugazharasan.s@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi all, > Am doing timing analysis for DDR3 interface with Hyperlynx.
