YK, While holding the driver high, you need to sweep its output pin externally while you measure the current across the source that you are sweeping with. You need to do the same thing with the driver held low. The tricky part is subtracting out the clamping diodes. If you can tri-state the driver into a high impedance mode, then this will allow you to isolate the clamping diodes that you can then subtract out. Also, it sounds like you are using measurement (I've only simulated IBIS models), so I'm not sure how you are substracting out the effects of the IC package? Hope this helps.

Recently, I've tried to curve trace an I/O at a high state. When verified using a multimeter the pin confirms to output high. However when I try to curve trace this particular pin, I get a dead straight line at 5V (Vdd is powered at 5V). Where did I go wrong? Thanks is advance for your wise teaching.
