pca9306 ibis errors

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PCA9306

Hi,

I downloaded the ibis file for the PCA9306, but I cannot use it in Hyperlynx (LineSim or BoardSim). In ibis editor, it fails with the following errors:

pca9306.ibs(4115) : Error : Pin model PCA9306_IO_S used by the series pin mapping from pin 4 to pin 5 of component PCA9306_DCU does not exist in this file.
pca9306.ibs(4115) : Error : Pin model PCA9306_IO_S used by the series pin mapping from pin 3 to pin 6 of component PCA9306_DCU does not exist in this file.
pca9306.ibs(4115) : Error : Pin model PCA9306_IO_S_encmint_1 used by the series pin mapping from pin 2 to pin 7 of component PCA9306_DCU does not exist in this file.

I've seen something similar (although for a different TI IC) where the user was advised to manually edit the ibis file. Perhaps something similar is required here.

Can you advise please?

Thanks

Stuart

  • Hi Stuart,

    Thanks for the question. I will be looking into this for you, and will get back to you soon.

  • HI,

    I am using PCA9306 IBIS model for SI analysis, but I cannot use it in Hyperlynx (LineSim or BoardSim). In ibis editor, it fails with the following errors:

    pca9306.ibs(4115) : Error : Pin model PCA9306_IO_S used by the series pin mapping from pin 4 to pin 5 of component PCA9306_DCU does not exist in this file.
    pca9306.ibs(4115) : Error : Pin model PCA9306_IO_S used by the series pin mapping from pin 3 to pin 6 of component PCA9306_DCU does not exist in this file.
    pca9306.ibs(4115) : Error : Pin model PCA9306_IO_S_encmint_1 used by the series pin mapping from pin 2 to pin 7 of component PCA9306_DCU does not exist in this file.

    Can you please suggest me to rectify this error as soon as possible.

    Thanks,

  • Hello Kavitha,
    I have forwarded your modeling questions to our modeling group. They should be able to help you.

  • Kavitha,
    The model selector doesn't work well with the series switch statement. If you replace the PCA9306_IO_S, with the specific voltage you're looking to model, then that should work. e.g. if you're at 2.5, use PCA9306_IO_25_S in the [Pin] section of the model. I'd recommend also hard coding in the PCA9306_IN and PCA9306_IO.
    That should get you going for now.
