Signal Integrity Problem

[sameer_pitre]

Hi,

I am working on i.MX8M MINI processor based design. I have completed the PCB layout activity and now want to do the Signal Integrity. I have downloaded the processor IBIS Model from below link. 

https://www.nxp.com/products/processors-and-microcontrollers/arm-processors/i.mx-applications-proces...

I am using HyperLynx 9.1 for SI. But I am getting folllowing error,

Checking C:\Users\system1\AppData\Local\Temp\ibs6DC7.tmp\imx8mm_14x14_v1.ibs for IBIS 5.0 Compatibility...

Hello,

   I tried to check the i.MX8Mm IBIS file, using the ibis checker.

https://ibis.org/ibischk6/ 

It found only warnings regarding data is non-monotonic.

  Generally You may try to modify the IBIS file manually in order to satisfy HyperLynx

requirements.

Have a great day,

Yuri.
