MM,

No, customer of ASIC vendors will not design their own ASICS, but interact
with the ASIC vendor to select appropriate buffers for each bus. And this is
not the only reason for generating a single model IBIS file, but we find it
to be used quite often by companies having ASICs designed for them.

Walter,

Could you clarify this please?  Do you mean that the customers of ASIC
vendors will, in turn, design their own ASICs?  Are you also implying that
providing ASIC buffer designs is the only/major reason single-buffer IBIS
models are appearing?

All,

In reviewing the minutes of the 11/25/08 meeting I would like to take issue
with one set of comments:

- Mike L: Plug and play is important
  - Michael M: Only in post-layout analysis
  - Arpad: More and more 1-buffer IBIS models are appearing (serdes)

This is true because the ASIC vendors are supplying SerDes models to their
customers to help their customers design their systems and select and
configure their Tx/Rx buffers. As soon as their customers start designing
full ASIC's, they will then build IBIS models for all of their complete
Components.
