Component and Pin Import Properties

These properties appear for single component and pin imports, not for buffer model imports.

• pin_name — The pin name on the IBIS file.
• comp_name — The name of the component on the IBIS file.
• DieSideNodePrefix — Allows users to add a keyword to the probe die side node name to help group nodes. The node representing the die side of the package is automatically generated. For a single IBIS pin component, the node is named DS_diesidenodeprefix_pinname_signalname_ID, where:
  • diesidenodeprefix is the value entered in the DieSideNodePrefix property.
  • pinname is the [Pin] name on the imported pin's entry in the IBIS [Pin] table.
  • signalname is the signal_name on the imported pin's entry in the IBIS [Pin] table.
  • ID is the unique instance number of the IBIS device on the schematic (e.g., 130).
  For example: DS_U24_C2_DQ0_130For differential pin pairs, the names of the two nodes are formatted like a single IBIS pin component with the addition of _pos and _neg suffixes. For example: DS_U24_C3_DQS_t_131_pos DS_U24_C3_DQS_t_131_negIn this case, pinname and signalname come on the first (non-inverting) pin in the IBIS [Diff Pin] table entry for the imported differential pin pair.

• probe die side node — The die side node waveforms are available in simulation output. If voltage probes are present elsewhere in the schematic, check the probe die side node check box to have the die side nodal voltage(s) appear as plottable quantities in the reporter, similar to if a probe had been placed on the die side node(s) for this IBIS device.

• use_series_model — For components with differential pins, the property list includes a use_series_model check box. Check this box to have Nexxim automatically instantiate any Series model defined between the differential pins in a Series Pin Mapping table in the IBIS file. Click the model property to manually select the Series model.
