Akhilesh,

For each VT curve entry in a model, the IBIS parser will take the
fixture circuit used for that VT curve and draw a load line representing
the circuit against the IV curves of the same process corner. The DC
endpoints found, which in your example were 2.30V and 3.30V, are
determined as the intersection of the load line with the pullup (+ power
clamp if I/O) and pulldown (+gnd clamp if I/O) IV curves. There are few
possible causes for this descrepency, however in my experience, the most
common reason was that the VT curves never reach the DC values. Either
the VT curves simulation was not run long enough, or the extraction of
the VT curves did not get the whole curve. I would first check the VT
curves and see if it looks like they've reached DC.

Hope this helps.
Kevin
