You may have heard lately about IBIS-AMI models, which are being used more often for SERDES simulation. IBIS-AMI stands for I/O Buffer Information Specification Algorithmic Modeling Interface. These models are an addendum to the existing IBIS spec that contain executable models.
Actually the models contain 3 parts: an analog buffer model, a parameter file, and the actual executable model. The executable … Read More
Anyone who has ever had to simulate a SERDES interface knows how long it take to run a couple hundred bits through a SPICE model. Hours. Sometimes you have to kick it off overnight. And if you want to do some solution space exploration, probably one of the main purposes for running your simulation, it could take you a whole week of sims. I mean, you could take the time that your sim is running to … Read More
Today most of us take mass-production and cheap rapid transport for granted.
In Europe at the start of the 17th century none of this existed. Goods and raw materials were produced literally as a cottage industry.
In particular Iron was produced in small pans filled with iron ore, charcoal and limestone. Batch size was limited by the inability of the charcoal to resist crushing under the weight of … Read More
