Jai; You can create some behavioral model of IO using a RLC model. You can then modify this passive elements to deliver the current and voltage level needed and test it for various terminations. Let me know if you are interested and I can send you some slides to describe it. They run a lot faster than actual encrypted SPICE model and IBIS. Thanks.

If you can't simulate, build a small test vehicle. Steve.
