Dear Mr. Kingen,
As I understand the message, the currents specified in the I-V tables
of the model are simply insufficient to drop enough voltage across a
50 ohm load resistor to reach 1.5 volts at the output of the driver.
The message is meant to point out an inconsistency in the data of the
model.
I believe Vmeas is used only for timing measurements (so I suppose you could risk ignoring the message if you are not interested in timing simulations). I know at least one simulator that will refuse
to run a timing simulation when the model generates that warning.
Best regards,

Subject: [IBIS-Users] IBIS VMEAS and VREF Question.
I am getting the following warning when I run my model thru the parser:
WARNING - Model 'I_O2': MIN VI curves cannot drive through Vmeas=1.5V
given load Rref=50 Ohms to Vref=0V
Can anyone enlighten me as to the significance of this warning? Will the simulator in general have a problem? The WInIBIS data looks good.
Thanks in advance.
Rick Kingen
