I have IBIS models and need to carry out simulation with them. The idea is to determine if any undesirable high speed effects shall occur on a single signal line. I have IBIS model of all the parts involved and the PCB track information. However, no tool here exists that can simulate IBIS models. Therefore, the models were converted to PSpice form. I am still not sure how to use them in simulation.
I have the Cadence Allegro 16.6.032 which I have no experience with but conclude that it can simulate the PSpice models. Under Cadence Allegro 16.6.032 I get this long list of programs in the start menu:
Allegro PCB Planner
Design Entry CIS
Design Entry HDL Rules Checker
Design Entry HDL
FPGA System Planner
Library Explorer
License Client Configuration Utility
OrCAD Capture CIS
OrCAD Capture LITE
OrCAD Capture View-Only
OrCAD Capture
Package Designer
PCB Editor
PCB Route
PCB SI
Physical Viewer
Project Manager
PSpice AD
PSpice Advanced Analysis
SiP Digital Architect
SiP
System Architect
There are also some more directories
AMS Simulator
PCB Editor Utilities
PCB SI Utilities
PSpice Accessories
Well, I am totally lost........ I have no idea how to even carry out a simple inverting op-amp with sine wave input in Cadence Allegro. I have never used it before. Do you have advice on where I should go next? Somebody told me to use AMS simulator and for that purpose the schematic shall be made in Allegro Design Entry HDL. However, I don't know how to use them also. Allegro has so many tools that I am not sure which shall be used here.
