Tim, What are the first and last points of your rising and falling waveforms? These are the numbers that need to match the intersections on your load line graphs. Regards, Weston -----Original Message----- From: Timothy Coyle [mailto:Timothy.Coyle@xxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 8:55 AM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Determining load line for LVDS IBIS Device Hi, I have an LVDS IBIS file that I am trying to calculate a load line on. The LVDS outputs switch from 1.0 to 1.4 Volts, with a single-ended load of 50 ohms to 1.2V. I plotted my pullup and pulldown curves together. My pullup curve crosses zero current at about 1.4 V, and my pulldown curve crosses zero at about 1.0V. I draw a line from my pullup curve at 1.4V, through my pulldown curve, to 24 mA. (based on 50 Ohms to 1.2V) The intersection is 1.1V. When I do the same for my pulldown curve, starting at 1.0V, going through my pullup curve, to -24 mA, I get 1.13 V. I should get endpoints of 1.0V and 1.4V. This IBIS file parsers with no warnings and simulates fine in an IBIS simulator. I attached an image of my load line curves. (I don't know if it can go through this list though?) Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
