Abstract
As semiconductor technology advances, there is a need to balance model complexity with simulation speed. After a decade of dominance in simulating I/O, IBIS is losing ground because of its limitations in simulating complex, programmable I/O. Possible solutions include using physical models (SPICE), behavioral models, macromodels, and the AMS modeling language. The leading contenders for solving the complex I/O modeling issues are SPICE-style macromodels and analog mixed signal equation-based models (AMS). IBIS already incorporates these modeling methods by calling [External Model] and other means. This chapter briefly reviews several modeling methods as they apply to model abstraction.
