1.1.2. Signal Integrity Simulations with HSPICE and IBIS Models

The Quartus® Prime software can export accurate HSPICE models with the built-in HSPICE Writer. You can run signal integrity simulations with these complete HSPICE models in Synopsys* HSPICE. You can also easily create and customize IBIS models of the FPGA I/O buffers in the Quartus® Prime software.

You can run signal integrity simulations with these complete HSPICE models in Synopsys* HSPICE.

You can integrate IBIS models into any third-party simulation tool that supports IBIS models. With the ability to create industry-standard model definition files quickly, you can build accurate simulations that can provide data to help improve board-level signal integrity.

Creating and running accurate simulations can be difficult and time consuming. The Quartus® Prime software tools automate the I/O model setup and creation process by generating custom models for your design. These tools allow you to set up and run accurate simulations that guide FPGA and board design.
