Hi Adam, Thanks for the tip, but I was already aware of that. Regards, Tim Adam.Tambone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 07/31/2002 01:40 PM To: Timothy Coyle/Americas/NSC@NSC cc: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx@Internet Subject: Re: [SI-LIST] Issues with Midpoint Crossing of Differential IBIS Buffer Hello Tim, Here is a small tip that you might not have tried yet. The 'ramp' keyword associated with B-Elements in HSPICE specifies what V-t data to use. ramp=0 uses ramp data, ramp=1 uses the first set of V-t data for rising and falling waveforms, and ramp=2 uses two sets each of V-t data for rising and falling waveforms. Perhaps this will help.

When I run the file in XTK, it works fine. When I run the file in HSPICE, the midpoint crossing is not correct. The transition rate and waveshape of an individual driver are good, but the midpoint crossing is towards Vcc. I checked the V-T data to see if the rising/falling data crossed at the midpoint, and it does. I'm wondering if this is a problem with the I-V or V-T data, or both? Or is this a simulator issue? Instead of using a differential load resistor, I tied the outputs to a load resistor to a reference voltage (Vos), and then the midpoint crossing was accurate. Any suggestions/comments?
