Greg,

 

Yes, almost. You still need a voltage swing either extracted from the VT
curves, Ramp data or [Voltage Range]. You would be assuming a zero rise
time for the driver. This is equivalent to the simple Tx Analog Buffer
Circuit described in BIRD 122.

What if an EDA programmer wanted to discard the VT and ramp data and
compute an "ideal mathematical" impulse response assuming a delta
function?  Is that allowed by BIRD 120?  I took a quick look and didn't
see anything specific about how to calculate the impulse response.  In the
"ideal mathematical" case, I would think all you need is C_Comp and some
resistance extracted from the IV tables.

That is correct.

Walter,
 
Thank you!  So, someone using IBIS-AMI models with valid traditional data
in a workflow should expect changes in the IBIS TX C_comp or V-t (or
[Ramp]) data to have an impact on the results provided by the receiver in
an IBIS-AMI-based flow, assuming nothing else changes?

MM,
 
The Legacy part of an IBIS model is used to generate the Impulse Response
of the channel. 
 
One method of generating the impulse response is to do a step response,
and take the derivative of the waveform at the Rx input.
 
A simulator uses a combination of the Tx [Voltage Range], C_Comp, IV, VT
and Ramp data, and the Rx C_Comp and IV data. Of course, [External Model]
can also be used by a simulator.
 
The following required Tx IBIS fields are not used in the AMI flow: 

Vmeas

The following required Rx IBIS fields are not used in the AMI flow: 

Vinl
Vinh
