Re: [IBIS-Users] Sweep voltage listing query

What would happen with a model of an IC with a very wide voltage range, say
for Vcc from 1.0 V to 3.6 V or more?

For such a part, it may be better to create separate IBIS models for the
different intended ranges; such as, one model for 1.5 V nominal, another for
2.5 V, another for 3.3 V, etc.  But if you had a single model that worked
well for the entire range (though it is debatable if you could make an
accurate IBIS model to do this), what should it use for its sweep range?
Probably not a Vcc in the middle of the range.

Are devices tending to have greater relative Vcc voltage ranges?  Many 5 V
parts were +/- 5% only.  Today's lower voltage parts have wider relative Vcc
ranges.  Perhaps IBIS needs to pay closer attention.

Just a thought....
