Create a schematic from a Touchstone file and automatically set up an IBIS-AMI analysis.

Parameters:

input_filestr: Full path to the sNp file.
ibis_tx_filestr: Full path to the IBIS file.
tx_buffer_namestr: Transmission buffer name. It can be a buffer or an ibis pin name. In the latter case the user has to provide also the component_name.
rx_buffer_namestr: Receiver buffer name.
tx_schematic_pinslist: Pins to assign to the transmitter IBIS.
rx_schematic_pinslist, optional: Pins to assign to the receiver IBIS.
tx_schematic_differential_pinslist, optional: Reference pins to assign to the transmitter IBIS. This parameter is only used in a differential configuration.
rx_schematic_differential_pinslist: Reference pins to assign to the receiver IBIS. This parameter is only used in a differential configuration.
ibis_tx_component_namestr, optional: IBIS component name to use for the simulation of the transmitter. This parameter is needed only if IBIS component pins are used.
ibis_rx_component_namestr, optional: IBIS component name to use for the simulation of the receiver. This parameter is needed only if IBIS component pins are used.
use_ibis_bufferbool, optional: Whether to use the IBIS buffer. The default is True. If False, pins are used.
differentialbool, optional: Whether the buffers are differential. The default is True. If False, the buffers are single-ended.
bit_patternstr, optional: IBIS bit pattern.
unit_intervalstr, optional: Unit interval of the bit pattern.
use_convolutionbool, optional: Whether to use convolution for the Touchstone file. The default is True. If False, state-space is used.
analyzebool: Whether to automatically assign differential pairs. The default is False.
design_namestr, optional: New schematic name. The default is "IBIS".
is_amibool, optional: Whether the ibis is AMI. The default is False.
ibis_rx_filestr, optional: Ibis receiver file.
create_setupbool, optional: Whether to create transient or ami setup. The default is True.

Returns:

(bool, list, list): First argument is True if successful. Second and third arguments are respectively the names of the tx and rx mode probes.
