Deepak,

You completely misunderstood Pugahz's question.  He was talking about
the beginning of the V-t curves having a certain amount of horizontal
line before the transition (edge) begins.  This is a very common
thing in IBIS models and this "dead time" represents a delay inside
the buffer.

Hi P,
Usually you get a model with delay information for differential signals
only.
But never seen a model with intial delay..
your model looks like a more then IBIS model and less then Spice model..

you should follow the IBIS syntax and remove the unnecessary
informations.


are there any standard timing specification for DDR3 Controller?
>>
this depends upon the vendors..usually they provide a track lenght and
mismatch between different groups of signal..(it depends upon the
substrate
delay or chip internal delay).


As you are making you own controller, you need to find out an internal
delay
and then start a simulation...
based on best result you have to create a guideline to user...

this guideline will be based on internal delay plus condition to get a
best
performance and pcb track delay..

refer this pdf for more information or standard

Best of luck,
 Deepak
