MM,

 

Exactly so, see IBIS 6.0 page 91. 

 

"The intent behind [External Model] is to provide an upgrade path from
native IBIS [Model]s to the external languages (one exception to this is
the support for true differential buffers). Thus, the [External Model]
keyword can be used to replace the usual I-V and V-T tables, C_comp,
C_comp_pullup, C_comp_pulldown, C_comp_power_clamp, C_comp_gnd_clamp
subparameters, [Ramp], [Driver Schedule], [Submodel] keywords, etc. of a
[Model] by any modeling technique that the external languages allow. For
[External Model]s, the connectivity, test load and specification
parameters (such as Vinh and Vinl) are preserved from the [Model] keyword
and the simulator is expected to carry out the same type of connections
and measurements as is usually done with the [Model] keyword. The only
difference is that the model itself is described by an external language."

 

Since on-die S-parameters are implemented in External Model, then "C_comp
as a sub-parameter should be completely ignored in the presence of on-die
S-parameters".

Does this mean that C_comp as a sub-parameter should be completely ignored
in the presence of on-die S-parameters?  So far, this exchange implies so.

David,

 

it get subsumed into the Touchstone model

Hi Experts,

 

As we move away from I/V and V/T tables and towards on-die S-parameters to
model the analog behavior of output buffers, does Ccomp remain relevant as
an independent circuit element, or does it get subsumed into the
Touchstone model, for instance?

 

Thanks,
