Abstract
Systems and methods for generating a simulation model that simulates a SerDes system comprising components from different SerDes designs are provided. At least one component from the SerDes system comes from a proprietary SerDes design having an existing simulation model for the overall proprietary SerDes design. The existing simulation model includes software codes that inter-mingle the characteristics of the different components of this proprietary SerDes design. Characteristics of at least one SerDes component are extracted and modularized from a proprietary simulator to form a proprietary SerDes component model. Optionally, a standard SerDes component model can also be generated using an existing IBIS-AMI model. A new layer of abstraction is introduced on top of the different SerDes component model types. The simulation system also provides a solver implementation that not only conforms to the strict requirements of the IBIS-AMI specification but also handles the idiosyncrasies of the proprietary model data.
