User Guide to ADSP-TS201S TigerSHARC® Processor IBIS Files 
Contributed by Boris Lerner  July 2, 2003 
Introduction 
ADSP-TS201S TigerSHARC® Processor comes 
with 24 IBIS files. This guide explains which file 
to use under which circumstances. 
Naming of IBIS Files 
ADSP-TS201S IBIS files are named as 
following: 
TS201-dx.ibs 
Where 
d = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7: the setting of the 
controlled impedance and 
x = n, f or r: “n” if the processor’s ID is not zero, 
“f” if the processor’s ID is zero and the falling 
edge is simulated and “r” if the processor’s ID is 
zero and the rising edge is simulated. 
necessary internal pull-up or pull-down resistor. 
On those signals, IBIS simulations will be 
different for the processor with ID0 than for the 
processor with a non-zero ID. Thus, separate 
IBIS is provided for the non-zero IDs. 
Rising and Falling Edge 
This applies only to signal ACK and only on 
processor with ID = 0. This signal has a different 
DC behavior, depending on whether the signal is 
rising or falling. On processor with ID = 0 it 
always has a 500 Ohm resistor, but on rising 
edge it also turns on an additional 50 Ohm 
resistor to achieve a fast rise time. If this signal is 
simulated, it is important to choose the correct 
IBIS file, depending on whether a rising or a 
falling edge is simulated. Also, this signal is the 
only difference between the “f” and “r” types of 
files. 
Controlled Impedance 
Additional Information 
ADSP-TS201S allows selectable impedance 
control of its drivers, depending on the setting of 
CONTROLIMP[1:0] and DS[2:0] pins at reset. 
Each setting will produce a different simulation 
and, thus, requires a different IBIS file. 
Processor ID 
On the cluster bus, ADSP-TS201S processors are 
distinguished by their individual processor IDs 
that can range from 0 to 7. On many bussed 
signals only processor with ID = 0 provides the

It is important to note that all of the resistors 
mentioned in the discussion above are, in fact, 
built as transistors and, thus, do not behave 
linearly as Voltage vs. Current and, moreover, 
are affected by the process variations. For this 
reason the simulation behavior of pulled up or 
down signals with ID = 0 is not the same as the 
simulation behavior of the same signal of nonzero ID with an external resistor. For proper 
results, the correct model must be used.
