[IBIS-Users] Slew-Rate controlled output buffers

I've been looking into the best way to model slew-rate controlled output
buffers in IBIS. It is my current understanding that IBIS doesn't
really support this. When I say slew-rate controlled output buffer, the
best way to describe it would be that for a given load range, say
10pF-100pF the output buffer will always have the same slew-rate.
Unlike say a simple cmos inverter where if you increase the output load,
the slew rate will slow down. The biggest issue in my mind is the I/V
curves. Since they are a DC sweep, you always get the highest drive on
the output buffers. Has anybody tackled this issue? Anyone have any
thoughts/solutions?
