Walter, A thought that I did not tell you in my previous comments to jumped at me as I was reading this version of your writing. It seems that you expect the model maker to convert the Vt curves to Kt, including the C_comp compensation part of the process. Seeing all the bad IBIS models out there, and the kind of mistakes most of them have, I am afraid that this task will go above the head of a lot of people, and either turn them away from making models, or result in terribly bad models. We would either have to provide a "canned" solution i.e. some s2ibis-like software that does this well, or make the macro model more intelligent so that it can take the Vt curves directly. Add to the picture the complexity of characterizing multi-tap drivers to the modeling process, we are already pushing the IQ requirements for model makers quite a bit...

I have reviewed it with Bob, and Arpad, and incorporated many (but not all) of their comments. Bob and Arpad agree with many of my points, but disagree on some also. On Monday afternoon I will email to the group all of the comments I will have received by then. Walter
