Can I incorporate an IBIS-AMI model provided by a Vendor into my Simulink model of the SerDes?

I want to simulate the signal transformation of a Vender specific SerDes receiver with a signal processing perspective. I wonder whether MATLAB/SIMULINK SerDes Toolbox can incoporate an IBIS-AMI model provided by a thirdparty?

SerDes Toolbox does not support importing IBIS-AMI models for simulation. An alternative workflow would be to export a Tx or Rx IBIS-AMI model from SerDes Toolbox containing equalization or metrics you want to study and then using it in a IBIS-AMI standard compliant EDA simulator such as SiSoft QCD, Keysight ADS, etc. Output data as a AMI parameter or text file.

Hi , I have Tx IBIS-AMI model from thirdpary. I am trying to import this model in Signal Integrity toolbox, but not able to see ami-parameter in solution space. what could be the reason?

Thanks

Are you using the Parallel Link Designer app? If so, the current sheet is likely not in Stat Mode which is needed for AMI support. There is a checkbox below the schematic section of the GUI to enable and populate the solution space with any IBIS-AMI parameters the model contains.
