Mike,

You're correct; the existing IBIS spec for package modeling falls short in the multi-gigabit realm.  While there are proposals being discussed to address this; they aren't part of the current spec.

In current practice, people are either instantiating package models (usually as S-parameters) in their simulation schematics explicitly, or using tool-specific extensions to IBIS to include a more robust package model.

Hi,
How does the IBIS package model (either embedded or stand alone) work with a AMI based link? Is it still expected to provide RLC data coupled and/or uncoupled? I do not think this is sufficient to correctly model the package portion of the channel for use with an AMI block/high speed SERDES.
