When select the picked stage, its configuration panel will be displayed in the lower half. Specify the parameters as needed.
User may export or import settings configured so far.
Optionally, user may "check" the model before generating.
Click "Generate" button and then an example IBIS model, configured .ami file and .dll model will be generated.
Must not contain empty lines at the end or other comment lines.
AMI model's response will be displayed in the "result" tab. This waveform panel supporting zooming-in etc. Click the "?" button for usage.
To minimize the app's download size, only Windows 64 AMI library is included. To generate AMI models for Win32 and Linux 64, please see SPILite instead. The GUI is the same and config. file is inter-changeable.
The off-line/installed version also have more built-in AMI modules such as DSP and AGC etc.
Generated AMI models will expire within 3 days. AMI models generated via SPILite will last for 7 days.
AMI model can be unlocked on a per part basis for USD. 3000.00. Company wide enabling is also available thorough licensing or Modeling Suite purchase.
The model generated here only contains one setting. For the same cascading stages/architecture, more settings can be combined as a look-up table using parameters defined by you. SPISim also provides customized modeling service based on data sheet, simulation or measurement data etc.
This function, along with other IBIS modeling and tuning flow, is also available in the SPISim Modeling Suite.
Support for SPISim's free web apps is on best-effort basis.
For SPISim_AMI, the IBIS-AMI model generation tool, the most probable failing spot is when user trying to "Check" the generated IBIS-AMI model using user provided .csv input waveform.
The .csv file format: it should have headers on first row and at least two columns. The first column should be time points and they must be uniformly sampled, as required by IBIS-AMI Spec. The second column will be taken as input to drive the generated IBIS-AMI models.
Running platform: to minimize the app's size, the AMI model and embedded simulator only supports Windows 64 platform. To generate model and/or run check on other platforms (e.g. Win32, Linux64), please download and install the (offline) SPILite.
Number of bits to simulate: 1024 bit is the default. Time and memory required to simulate more bits are subject to each computer's performance.
When support is needed, please export the settings to a .cfg file, then submit this file alone with descriptions of other settings (such as those in "Check" dialog) to SPISim support.
