Eric,
In order to characterize C-comp, it is necessary to measure everything,
all die capacitance of I/O cell, clamping and ESD structures, along with
all other parasitic capacitance in the redistribution layer, if that is
not included in the package model.
regards,
scott

One is input C or C_comp, another is the input thresholds such as Vinh and Vinl. A third characteristic are the clamp characteristics. Another is the DC input resistance. For most CMOS inputs this input resistance is very high, so high that we can neglect it (OK, it shows up as nAmps or pAmps). But for the case where the input resistance of the receiver is finite, like a 50 Ohm termination, we need to model it. We place that model in one of the clamp tables. > >A terminator has input C and input R but has no ability to differentiate between a logic low and a logic high.
