On the other hand, I've had reasonable luck getting
such models from vendors under an NDA agreement. The
ability to do this probably depends on your company's
relationship with the vendor; if you buy a lot of
their parts, they'll be more willing to accommodate
you.
My feeling is: a vendor should either give you an
IBIS model or a SPICE model (subject to an NDA). If
they are unwilling to do either, you have to wonder
how they expect you to design their parts in.
By the way: If you *DO* have an IBIS model, the latest
version of HSPICE will read it directly, so you don't
have to have an HSPICE model to use HSPICE in that
event. You should see the manual for the new version
for details. I make no representations as to accuracy,
ease of use, etc. I've used it, and I think it's
worth a look, anyway.
