To date, it has been difficult to simulate a high speed serial link whose driver and
receiver were supplied by different vendors because models supplied by different vendors
are almost never compatible. The Algorithmic Modeling Interface is an API developed
by the IBIS ATM standards committee to solve this problem.
This paper introduces the AMI standard and demonstrates its use in modeling the
behavior of both the data path and the adaptive control loops. The demonstration
transmission path includes a transmitter with de-emphasis and FFE, a lossy transmission
line, and a receiver with peaking filter, clock recovery and DFE.
