[Re: About WARNING of ibischk2]

Chris,
  thank you very much for your quick response and answer.

  I would like to confirm my issue.

  # Is it crosspoint 50 Ohm slope against the value of [Pulldown]
   + [Gndclamp] ?
 

      (I)
          | * [Pulldown] + [GNDclamp]
    0.6A x ****
          | x **
          | x *
          | *
          | * ^ x
          | * | x slope = 50 Ohm
          | * | x
          *--------|-----------x---------
        0.0V | 3.0 V (V)
                (0.95V)
                 #####

Akihiro,

The ibishk2 program is checking the first and last point of your Rising
and Falling AC Waveforms against the DC VI curves and given test load
(50 Ohms).

For your case the message indicates that the first point given in the
Rising Waveform table is .74V.

If you were to plot the intersection of a 50 Ohm to 3V load line (slope
= 50 V/I) and the given DC VI curve you would see that they interesect
at .95V (this is fist value in [3] below).

So since

     abs(.95 - .74) > 2% * (3 - .74)
               .21 > .045

The checker will print a warning.

The reason for the check is that the first and last points of the AC
waveforms are supposed to be the stable DC value when driving the given
load.
