Good morning, everyone:
Thank you for your help on my previous question posted on the SI list. I tried out
the SPICE simulation that you guys suggested and I have the following problems:
1. For a simple differential driver -> differential pair TL -> differential receiver
kind of setup, I got the following error message when I run HSPICE:
**error** no definition for 0:
it was called by 0:v_inputp
**error** no definition for 0:
it was called by 0:v_inputn
My SPICE file looks like:
#######################
.options acct nomod post=1
v_inputP nd_inP 0 pulse (0V 1V 10ns 150ps 150ps 653.5ps 1.607ns)
v_inputN nd_inN 0 pulse (1V 0V 10ns 150ps 150ps 653.5ps 1.607ns)
* 50 ohm transmission line on high speed output
t0 (nd_outP 0 in_P 0) z0=50.0 td=500e-12

+ buffer = output
b_out_N nd_puN nd_pdN nd_outN nd_inN

2. In another case, I used a driver with SPICE model to drive a LVDS differential
receiver with IBIS model. The voltage swing I got at the receiver pin much larger
than the LVDS specifications. Do you have any idea what could be wrong ?
Thank you very much for your help.
