Hi all,

 

I would like to propose the following topic of discussion for one of our
meetings:

 

Are the Vinl/Vinh values given in the [Model] section of an IBIS model
supposed to represent the worst case input switching limits, over the
full range of legal operating conditions? That is, should:

*       Vinl be the lowest value ever required at the input to switch
the gate low, and
*       Vinh be the highest voltage ever required to switch the gate
high?

 

If so, then should it ever be allowed that the range of values given for
these two parameters in the [Model Spec] section extend below/above
these values, respectively? Currently, they do in both Micron and Xilinx
models, and I'm wondering if this is correct:
