How to accelerate the simulation with the Transceiver HSPICE model

Hi, I'm trying to simulate the Transceiver HSPICE model of Stratix IV GX. This Hspice model proposed a high frequency signal(6.5Gbps). But i need simulate a low frequency signal (about 100Kbps)...

i want to find how this transceiver model works with my I2C bus

I2C is not used over transceiver channels, its used over I/O pins.

Your simulations for the transceiver channels should be performed at the data rate of the DisplayPort, i.e., 1.62, 2.7, or 5.4 Gbps.

Your simulations of the I2C bus should just use IBIS models for the regular I/O. However, I2C is so slow, that its hardly worth simulating in HSPICE. If you follow good PCB layout techniques, your I2C interface will work fine.

Cheers,

Dave
