Hello, Pay Chee, 1) This is done the same way whether done by measurement or by simulation. With I/O in Input mode, measure "clamp" currents. With I/O in Output mode, measure total current, once with Data=1 and once with Data=0. Pullup and Pulldown are created by subtracting the Input current from the Total current. Power and GND clamp currents are typically separated by assigning all current for V<0 to the GND Clamp and for V>0 to the Power Clamp. 2) Linear extrapolation is one way to get the endpoints of the table. Some of this is discussed in the IBIS Cookbook. http://www.eda.org/pub/ibis/wip/ckbkwfw3.doc - Lynne "IBIS training when you need it, where you need it."

In an IBIS file, at a particular voltage there are 'typical' current, 'maximum' current and 'minimum' current. If I am collecting the data by physical measurement, how do i obtain the max and min current? 2. If a curve tracer is unable to give me the full range of voltage sweep that i want(for instance from +Vcc to 2Vcc) how can I extrapolate the curve or obtain the missing data? Thanks.... ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List FAQ wiki page is located at: http://si-list.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Si-List_FAQ List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.org List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
