PCB level SI simulation based on IBIS model for high-speed FPGA system

It is effective to perform SI simulation in the high speed FPGA system with DDR2 memory devices. IBIS model is chosen for simulation because IBIS model could easily be downloaded from website of related integrity circuit (IC) or created according to datasheet of IC. The PCB-level SI simulation flow and analysis methods based on IBIS models are illustrated in this paper, especially some useful application notes. Proper SI simulation which is a good guide to routing could solve SI problems caused by high speed transmission in PCB.
