Re: [IBIS-Users] Modeling Diff Buffers

Hi Anguraj,

about C_comp value issue, I only like to say that in Ver4 Cookbook there 
is a link to pdf document described so called L-tank method 
(http://www.eda.org/ibis/summits/jun02/hegazy.pdf by Hazem Hegazy). I 
use it and I think it makes sense. In this method the frequency 
dependence of C_comp is omitted and you get one single value of C_comp 
(you should still vary DC bias and corner conditions, of course) 
calculated from resonance equation. I do it with HSpice, feel free to 
ask me if you need help with this.

regards,
      Dmitry
