IBIS-AMI models are the ubiquitous choice for the most challenging simulation tasks. This yearly Panel addresses topics you need to understand to succeed with next-generation AMI models and analysis. Originally developed to model the Gigabit SerDes, the standard is adapting to handle new challenges such as DDR5 and PAM4. What's new in SerDes equalization and its back-channel optimization? What changes are necessary for 112 Gbps? How is the "clock" applied in DDR5 since it doesn't travel inside the data? Join us for another insightful discussion with AMI experts and learn timely answers to these questions and more.
* What you need to know to succeed with the new applications for AMI
* How AMI models and analysis are adapting to handle DDR5
* Considerations for modeling and designing 112 Gbps PAM4 interfaces
* Changes in SerDes equalization, and back-channel programming of the same
Attendees should have an interest in or understanding of serial links, AMI models, SerDes/Serial and/or DDRx simulation, and analysis tools.
