Basic Buffer Properties

The basic IBIS component properties are displayed for all imported IBIS buffers.

• File: The name of the IBIS file.
• Typ: Assumed range of corner values for IBIS response parameters (See TYP Parameter Effects in the IBIS File Import Technical Notes)
• Buffer: Displays the buffer type corresponding to the model:
• Input
• Output
• Tristate
• Input/Output
• Open Drain, Open Sink, Open Source
• I/O Open Drain, I/O Open Sink, I/O Open Source
• Input ECL
• Output ECL
• Tristate ECL
• Input/Output ECL
• Terminator
• Series, Series Switch
• Model: Name of the IBIS model to be associated with this component (pin or model). When the IBIS file specifies a Model Selector, the Model property lists the models in the selector so the user may select one. The list of available properties depends on the type of the model selected.
  Note:

  A text array variable may be used for the model property. The array must contain model names with the same buffer type.

  See: Adding a Project Variable Array.

• Polarity: Non-inverting, Inverting, No Polarity, or Not Set, as specified in the IBIS file for each model.
• Waveform Properties The HSPICE-compatible Waveform properties control the details of the waveform processing and other buffer parameters. All buffer imports display the subset of these properties applicable to the buffer type.

• See Notes on IBIS Waveform Properties in the IBIS File Import Technical Notes for details on these properties.
