IBIS-AMI was developed by a consortium of EDA, Semiconductor and Systems companies and was approved as part of the IBIS 5.0 Specification in August 2008. High speed serial link channel simulation is critical for system design and validation.

The simulation must run fast while achieving adequate accuracy. Today, system vendors require Input/Output Buffer Information Specification Algorithmic Model Interface (IBIS-AMI)models long before silicon is available.

To meet the demand, silicon vendors desire an efficient process for generating IBIS-AMI models efficiently and reliably.
