  • IBIS-AMI is today's standard format for system-level SerDes modeling
  • A different type of modeling expertise is required to develop AMI models
  • Modeling the adaptive CTNLE functionality in the Analog Bits Rx is the most challenging AMI effort we have undertaken to date
  • Transistor-level accuracy can be obtained with high capacity channel simulation to predict BER using AMI modeling, even for the most complex EQ architectures
