From the standpoint of accuracy, SPICE models (if you can get them) are nearly always to be preferred to IBIS models (if you can get them). I frequently try to get both so I can compare results; if the comparison shows small differences, IBIS models usually run faster, so would be preferred once you are assured of their accuracy. Let me suggest that you visit and read the FAQ found at: www.eigroup.org/ibis/faq.htm While your question is not addressed directly there, you will find a lot of background info that will help you understand the difference. That statement assumes you are a user of SPICE already, of course. Kim Helliwell On Monday, August 27, 2001, at 08:46 PM, Viral wrote: > Hello!!
