Signal integrity using tool hyperlynx IBIS model

[rohit142]

Hello All,
I am new to Signal integrity. Actually i have concern of simulating clock signal.
So, Here driver is clock distribution IC which IBIS model is with me and assign for the IC in the hyperlynx tool.
The problem - For receiver i don't have IBIS model and Receiver is a Programmable Display Switch.

Can i use 50 ohm pull down termination as receiver and simulate the transmission line.Since i dont have IBIS model for the receiver.

Please help me out and Thanking everyone in advance.


Regards,
Rohit

Yes, if the receiver or your external circuit involves a 50 ohms termination. For a high impedance receiver, you can try to estimate an equivalent circuit from datasheet values. IBIS data also describes nonlinear input behavior like clamping diodes. They must be considered if the receiver input voltage is possibly exceeding the supply rails, but this shouldn't happen in a typical clock distribution circuit.
