Cref, Rref, Vref, and Vmeas are optional subparameters to the [Model]
keyword. Include them, typically, to facilitate board-level timing
simulation. Cref and Rref subparameters correspond to the test load that
the semiconductor vendor uses when specifying the propagation delay and/or
output switching time of the model. The IBIS 3.2 spec shows the assumed
connections as:

| _________
| | |
| | |\ | Rref
| |Driver| \|------o----/\/\/\----o Vref
| | | /| |
| | |/ | === Cref
| |_________| |
| |
| GND

Test points would be out on the board (outside the driver model).
