Leveraging SerDes Design Flows for IBIS-AMI Model Development

Todd Westerhoff, SiSoft

With high speed serial links rising in both data rate as well as complexity, SerDes designers are tasked with creating new transmit and receive architectures in their ASICs that employ advanced equalization and clock data recovery algorithms which yield low system BER.  The need to share these algorithms with potential customers has become equally important. The primary way in which SerDes IP is shared is through distribution of IBIS-AMI models - a black-box modeling standard that allows a semiconductor company to distribute a simulation model of their chip to a perspective customer. A primary challenge in creating and sharing these models is that the workflow for creating a SerDes design and the process for creating an IBIS-AMI model are inherently disjoint, resulting in a potential discrepancy between the models that are used for design and the models that are evaluated by customers.

In this webinar we will showcase a new workflow that has been developed jointly between MathWorks and SiSoft, which enables semiconductor companies to reuse their SerDes designs directly for IBIS-AMI model creation, simulation, and validation.

Highlights include:

  • Using Simulink for the design and simulation of SerDes architectures
  • Creating AMI models directly from SerDes designs using C Code Generation and compilation to DLLs
  • Simulation and validation of IBIS-AMI models in SiSoft Quantum Channel Designer (QCD)
