All, I had one more query for open-drain cells for a buffer driving a huge capacitive load (bus capacitance) For ex: a slow buffer with a large fall time How do we model V-T data for such buffer. As we have only pulldown clamp currents and RISING and FALLING WAVEFORM with R_Fixture tied to actual pullup resistor(and not 50 ohms) connected to V_FIXTURE= VCC. Should we have C_FIXTURE (bus capacitance) define for V-T data. What i feel is as the buffer's fall time is so huge, there is no such Transmission line modelling required for such a case.
