Hi,
We are trying to run a signal integrity simulation of STM32H747IGT6 in Altium Designer. However, all of the reflection waveforms for signals driven by the device are around 0 volts (basically noise, no driver). We've noticed there is some errata for other IBIS models in this product family. Are there any known issues with this IBIS model? Or can someone recommend a remedy?
We are using "stm32h747_757_lqfp176.ibs" downloaded from: https://www.st.com/en/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32h747ig.html#cad-resources.
Thanks!

Dear @slc2015,
I’m not expert in Altium Signal integrity simulation features inside the tool, may be you can go to Altium Community to find help .
I confirm that the model from our side is working with Hyperlynx : here is attached our application note - go to section 5.2 for STM32F7 example https://www.st.com/resource/en/application_note/an4803-highspeed-si-simulations-using-ibis-and-boardlevel-simulations-using-hyperlynx-si-on-stm32-mcus-and-mpus-stmicroelectronics.pdf
In our model for this MCU, the Package model might be not included separately and is already embedded.
Is that possible to show some screenshots on the tool ? To assist you more .
ciao

Hi,
Here is a screenshot of the waveform with the model from ST.
Thanks!

Dear @slc2015
Indeed , it seems only Noise.
The Signal Integrity Analysis capabilities are available through an Altium Designer Signal Integrity Analysis system extension, which is not installed with Altium Designer by default.
I believe we need to engage discussion with Altium partner to see how to configure our IBIS model with Altium IBIS model readers, It may happen not compatible with the IBIS versions that we need to check.
Have a good day,
