IBIS users,

At today's IBIS open forum call, the issue was raised concerning the
limitations of Ccomp in the present IBIS spec. This issue is being added
to the next ibis open forum agenda technical discussion.

I would like to solicit feedback from Model developers and users for
proposed changes, as well as voice my own opinion.

Present syntax

| typ min max
|
C_comp 3.90pF 3.10pF 4.80pF

My personal experience has shown that I/O buffer often have different
C_comp when driving and receiving. To keep things simple, I would
suggest that a simple extension to the C_comp would be to specify a
C_comp driving and C_comp receiving for Model_type = I/O

regards,
bob
