Tim,

IBIS doesn't have to provide this derating construct in order
for you to make an IBIS model with derating. You measure your
data, import it into your favorite spreadsheet, and massage it.
After that you can make your IBIS model with the massaged data.

Hi John,
Not sure if you are talking about transmission line simulations or just the
IBIS data itself, but here is my 2 cents. If your IBIS file was created from
SPICE models, the real correlation should be between your SPICE simulations
and real silicon. A good methodology might be to correlate your SPICE models
to silicon, then translate your SPICE models to IBIS, and correlate your
IBIS file to your SPICE model. If your SPICE models do not correlate well to
silicon, you could extract IBIS data from
the bench and insert into your IBIS file. This should make your IBIS file
correlate better to silicon. It will be more difficult to get your min and
max
data from the lab than from simulation.

Regards,
Tim
