This paper examines FEC application to serial link simulation, leveraging information from AMI simulations using adaptive DFE models

  • IBIS 5.0 introduced Algorithmic Modeling Interface (AMI) for modeling advanced SerDes EQs like DFE
  • DFE model operation can provide key insight into burst errors that can degrade BER
  • Error correction methods have historically been used for optical links
  • These methods can also be applied to electrical serial link interfaces to enhance BER
