Webcast: Using IBIS AMI Models as Executable Datasheets

August 20th, 2010 · Please leave a comment · Webcast

On September 9th, 2010, my colleague Sanjeev Gupta will present two webcast sessions with live Q&A entitled:

Using IBIS AMI Models as ‘Executable Datasheets’ in High Speed Digital Interconnect Simulations

The presentation is based on based our IBIS Summit paper at the DAC Conference this summer.

Here’s a quick preview (4m:30s) by Jose Pino of one of the highlights. (It’s best to click on the ‘expand’ button — the square with four arrows, bottom right — and view it in 720p HD and in full screen mode):

Abstract

The Algorithmic Modeling application programming Interface (AMI) extension to the Input/Output Buffer Information Specification (IBIS) standard allows IC vendors can share ‘executable datasheets’ of the high speed digital SERDES without proprietary encryption. One model can run in any EDA tool that supports the standard. SystemVue 2010.07 and ADS 2011.01 will generate and simulate this type of model, respectively. The webcast will show you the workflow this new capability enables.

Please register today for the live presentation that best suits your schedule on September 9th, 2010:

  1. Using IBIS AMI Models as Executable Datasheets, Europe/American East Coast Session 15:00 Central Europe Summer Time (9AM US Eastern Daylight Time)
  2. Using IBIS AMI Models as Executable Datasheets, Pan-American Session 10AM US Pacific Daylight Time (1PM US Eastern Daylight Time)

Registrants will also receive a link to the on-demand version shortly after the live sessions.

Advanced Layout Solutions Solves High Speed Digital Challenges Using ADS

August 24th, 2010 · Please leave a comment · Application Note

Advanced Layout Solutions, the largest Allegro design bureau in the UK, uses the Allegro DFI integration in ADS in conjunction with Allegro enterprise board tool to add the multi gigabit analysis that ALS needed and that Allegro by itself lacks.

In their recent white paper, Chris Halford of ALS showcases their expertise in use of ADS to solve pre- and post-layout multi gigabit board design challenges.

Please use this link to download the white paper from their web site.

Thanks, Chris!

Practical Design of Differential Vias

July 7th, 2010 · Please leave a comment · Article

Signal integrity gurus Lambert Simonovich, Eric Bogatin and Yazi Cao have authored the cover story Practical Design of Differential Vias in the July issue of Printed Circuit Design & Fab magazine. They used ADS to complete this important design task. If you look closely, the cover photo includes a laptop which the ADS window open on its screen! Thanks for sharing this nice work, Bert, Eric, and Yazi!
