<strong>Predicting</strong> <strong>BER</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>IBIS</strong>-<strong>AMI</strong> – DesignCon 2010 – February 4, 2010 – 5<br />

• Part of <strong>IBIS</strong> 5.0 specification<br />

• Divides serial link analysis into<br />

two steps<br />

– Network characterization<br />

• Derives impulse response for<br />

unequalized analog network<br />

– Channel simulation<br />

• Analyses end-end link<br />

• <strong>IBIS</strong>-<strong>AMI</strong> models have two parts<br />

– Analog model<br />

– Algorithmic model<br />
