IBIS users, (See schematic below). I am a new creator of IBIS models. The circuit that I need to model are bipolar. The first one I did was for s single ended AB driver with 50 ohm output impedance. I have now been chalanged to create/extract a model for a bipolar differential current mode logic output buffer, similar in principle as I have attempted to draw below. So the differential extraction processed outlined in the IBIS cook book seems rather complex. 1) I know there are no paths for differential currents to flow. 2) The I/V curve should look like a 50 Ohm resistor referenced to VCC. The problem I had extracting the IV curves is that the IV curve should go to zero I at some point and this is where the VT curves are tested to match. However, the actual circuit is driven into a region it was not intended to operate in and the curves don't match. Another way of saying this is the circuit simply will not operate unless driven into the 50 ohm pullup. Does anyone have an idea how to get around this???
