Explore the SERDES design space using the IBIS AMI channel simulation flow

Introduction
Simulation of modern chip-to-chip links requires you abandon the SPICE-based approach and adopt a new approach based on an IBIS AMI channel simulation flow.
Why you can’t use SPICE for today’s SERDES
To avoid the skew inherent in parallel chip-to-chip links, modern ICs use multigigabit/s serial links with a serializer and deserializer (SERDES) input/output (I/O) circuitry at the transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx), respectively.
