Hi, I am making IBIS models for LVDS (low voltage differential signal) IO buffer. To model an LVDS buffer I created the following test circuit, assigned the generated IBIS model to both buffers, set one buffer as inverted output. *Problem:* In the image below the YELLOW waveform is what I saw and the PURPLE waveform is what I expected to see. YELLOW = IBIS model PURPLE = Spice ( reference ) model Here is combined pullUp (yellow) and pullDown (green) IV curves (actually it is spice curves from which IV tables were derived): Lets assume that simulator tries to find operational point for LVDS buffer driving high. Then for the non-inverted buffer a point (Vp, Ip) will be taken from pullUp table, for the inverted buffer a point (Vn, In) from pullDown table, the following conditions should be satisfied: Ip = In, Vp - Vn = Ip*50. On the image above it is seen that there are 2 points satisfying the condition: Vp =~ 1.45V and Vp =~ 2.2V. Seems that something like that happened during simulation and simulator got to the second point. (BTW, there are 60 points for the region 0.9 - 1.6V and 10 points for the region 1.6-2.5V in the IBIS model IV tables). *Question:* What can be done to resolve this situation? Should IV tables or another IBIS structures be modified and how? I am making *ibis ver. 4.2* models.
