Tim,
 
Yes, there is. I usually do it this way:

Subject: [IBIS-Users] Positive Ground Clamp Curve

I am trying to gain ground clamp curve data for an input buffer. I do a DC
sweep on the input pin and measure the current. However,
I get positive current. I am using HSPICE. Is there a current convention
thing going on in HSPICE or is something else wrong?
Thanks in advance for any info.

Tim
