Anyone here used IntuSoft's IBIS2SPICE utility?

Pointers?

Problems?

Work-arounds?

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Hi Jim,
As in many modeling things, Brian was the expert on this, esp. when
importing into PSpice. It only works for earlier versions of IBIS, so
it fails rapidly wihen confronted with more modern parts.

Yep. Probably as useful as EDIF :-(

And it generates B-type behavioral form :-(

Where might I find a cross-reference?

Charlie,

Isn't IBIS really just a behavioral language?

If so it should be amenable to simple translation. PSpice behavioral
capability is outstanding!

Hi Jim,
Actually, it should be. I know that, back in the PSpiceHDL days, they
were going to just have PSpice accept IBIS directly. It wasn't that
different from the digital IO models they already have. However, they
then laid off the entire PSpice development team... :-(

Of course !-)

I think I'll write a converter. I'm (slowly) learning PowerBasic,
after YEARS away from Pascal ;-)

And I'm finally starting to get hits on model making.

Of course, ALL work from overseas... the US is DEAD :-(
