Create and Customize IBIS-AMI Models

Customize, create, and export IBIS-AMI models from Simulink

Use the SerDes Designer app to develop a SerDes system based on statistical BER analysis. Export the SerDes system to a Simulink^® environment.

Customize the building blocks to perform further statistical and time-domain analysis. Modify the AMI parameters to transfer them to AMI model executables (DLLs). Once you are satisfied with the system, you can generate the IBIS-AMI model from Simulink.

Featured Examples

Managing AMI Parameters

Add, delete, modify, rename, and hide AMI parameters for an IBIS-AMI model built with SerDes Toolbox™. These AMI parameters are then available to be used with existing datapath blocks, user-created MATLAB® function blocks or optimization control loop, and can be passed to or returned from the AMI model executables (DLLs) created by SerDes Toolbox.

Design IBIS-AMI Models to Support Rx Decision Time

Create Rx AMI models that support Rx Decision Time as defined in the IBIS (I/O Buffer Information Specification) version 7.1, by modifying the library blocks in SerDes Toolbox™. This example will use a typical SerDes Rx AMI model to demonstrate the setup.

Design IBIS-AMI Models to Support Clock Forwarding

Create Rx AMI models that support clock forwarding as defined in the IBIS 7.1 specification by modifying the library blocks in SerDes Toolbox™. This example will use a DDR5 write transfer (Controller to SDRAM) to demonstrate the setup.

Design IBIS-AMI Models to Support DC Offset

Create Rx AMI models that support DC Offset as defined in the IBIS 7.1 specification by modifying the library blocks in SerDes Toolbox™. This example will add DC Offset to a Saturation block to demonstrate the setup and impact of DC Offset.

Level Separation Mismatch Ratio (RLM) using IBIS-AMI

Add Transmitter Level Mismatch (RLM) to a transmitter (Tx) and how to calculate the resulting level separation mismatch ratio at the receiver (Rx) with IBIS-AMI models.

Simulate Crosstalk Cancellation in IBIS AMI Receiver Models

Simulate crosstalk cancellation in a SerDes Rx AMI model. You can disable crosstalk cancellation or select a specific aggressor column in the impulse_matrix to cancel. You can also replace the filter used in the example cancellationFilter.m with a CTLE that represents the filter implemented in the hardware.
