Considerations for Simulation

Simulations must confirm the quality of the received signal. The following files are needed to simulate the serial channel:

• IBIS: AMI files for SmartFusion2/IGLOO2 and any other devices that are connected to SerDes
• Package: files (optional). S-parameter of package improves the accuracy instead of using package parameters in the IBIS file

• Board traces model file including via models

• Connector models, if required

The following steps describe how to run the serial channel simulations:
