He seems to be focusing on the accuracy of differential buffers. Even though differential buffer could be macro modeled, but I would much prefer something along the lines of writing either more templates, or beautify up the library, or write AMS netlist parsers substitution engines for the SPICE tools, etc...

My work at ADI is going well and I'm looking forward to getting back to NCSU and finishing up. I'm planning on graudating next summer and I wanted your thoughts/advice on my thesis. As you know I'm doing my MS thesis under Dr. Franzon on IBIS. More specifically, it's on studying the accuracy of IBIS models for differential drivers. I have a bunch of questions for which I'm hoping you could give some pointers: Do you know of any other modeling methodologies other than spice and IBIS that I could use for comparisons? I've heard of Verilog-AMS but I'm not sure what tool to use and how to develop these models. What would be some good ways of evaluating IBIS model vs spice accuracy. I've thought of the following so far: 1. Steady state output voltage comparison. 2. Transient delay comparison. 3. SSN analysis to compare supply currents. 4. Overshoot & undershoot comparisons. I appreciate you thoughts on this matter.
