At the risk of repeating myself, the point I was trying to make was IBIS does
ALLOW the model developer to specify 100 waveforms, but does not REQUIRE the
waveform tables to follow certain restrictions or conventions.
Therefore, is it then acceptable for each simulator to enforce its own
REQUIREMENTS making IBIS models simulator dependent?
Earlier, it was pointed out that if ONE waveform into ONE RESISTIVE load is
specified, it is possible to predict the waveforms into any load. Then that
particular simulator HAS to make sure that the waveform is specified into a RESISTIVE
load, whereas, the IBIS specification ALLOWS the waveform specification
into ANY load. What is the simulator expected to do if the model developer
specifies the waveform into ANY load since that is ALLOWED by IBIS and hence
it is a legal IBIS model?
