I have no control over the accuracy of the HSPICE models, they come from the
foundry. I am just curious if any knowledgeable people out there have definite
ideas on which parameters are best for generating Tco values and IBIS models
that they have had good results with. I think I hear everybody agreeing that
40pf is not useful, so then my question is what is useful?
