RE: IBIS Model question

From the IBIS 3.2 spec
 
BM__Toc460058252| Keyword: [Ramp]

| Required: Yes, except for inputs, terminators, Series and Series_switch

| model types.

| Description: Defines the rise and fall times of a buffer. The ramp rate

| does not include packaging but does include the effects of the

| C_comp parameter.

| Sub-Params: dV/dt_r, dV/dt_f, R_load

| Usage Rules: The rise and fall time is defined as the time it takes the

| output to go from 20% to 80% of its final value. The ramp

| rate is defined as:

|

| dV 20% to 80% voltage swing

| -- = ----------------------------------------

| dt Time it takes to swing the above voltage

|

| The ramp rate must be specified as an explicit fraction and

| must not be reduced. The [Ramp] values can use "NA" for the

| min and max values only. The R_load subparameter is optional

| if the default 50 ohm load is used. The R_load subparameter

| is required if a non-standard load is used.

|---------------------------------------------------------------------------

dv/dt_r : seems like its a propogation velocity/ actually acceleration--it
might be the rise time . However I am not sure.

Hi IBIS Gurus, 
                     In the IBIS model of any part does the term 
"dv/dt_r" correspond to the rise time (tr - as denoted in the datasheet) 
of that particular part? 
Thanks,
