Modeling a SerDes System with a Redriver Between Two Channels

High speed digital (HSD) integrated circuits (ICs) are used in Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) systems defined at a high data rate with a lossy channel between the transmitter circuit and the receiver circuit. In such systems, the received data stream is severely distorted and requires reconstruction (equalization) before use.  For system design, there is often the need to model a redriver between two SerDes channels.

This article discusses modeling a Redriver between two SerDes channels. This modeling work is based on using the Input/Output Buffer Information specification (IBIS) for AMI (Algorithmic Modeling Interface) to achieve fast simulations for evaluation and performance prediction.
