John,

I've forwarded this question on to hte IBIS reflector for general comment.

Greetings,

I have a question on the V_fixture ibis sub-keyword for
[Falling Waveform]. This variable appears to expect
1 value, ie, typically the nominal power supply value.
Since I use the same deck to measure [Ramp] as [Falling
Waveform], my deck has the load resistor hooked to the power
supply, which will be different for typ, min and max.

Does this present a problem to the simulation vendor that
V_fixture cannot handle a min and max value, or If I enter
three values will they be handled correctly. Should I change
my deck so the the load resistor is hooked to the nominal supply
value and not vary it for min and max?

How important is V_fixture? Also, are the values in the example
in spec ver2.0 backwards? Wouldn't a [Falling Waveform] be
pulling against a logic "1" voltage, and a [Rising waveform]
be pulling against a GND type voltage?

Please advise.

Thanks,
John Brennan
