Output Delay Measurements
Output delays are measured using a Tektronix P6245 TDS500/600 probe (< 1 pF) across approximately 4 inches of FR4
microstrip trace. Standard termination was used for all testing. The propagation delay of the 4-inch trace is characterized
separately and subtracted from the final measurement, and is therefore not included in the generalized test setups shown in
Figure 6 and Figure 7.

Figure 7: Differential Test Setup
Measurements and test conditions are reflected in the IBIS models except where the IBIS format precludes it. Parameters
VREF, RREF, CREF, and VMEAS fully describe the test conditions for each I/O standard. The most accurate prediction of
propagation delay in any given application can be obtained through IBIS simulation, using the following method:
1. Simulate the output driver of choice into the generalized test setup, using values from Table 31.
2. Record the time to VMEAS.
3. Simulate the output driver of choice into the actual PCB trace and load, using the appropriate IBIS model or capacitance
value to represent the load.
4. Record the time to VMEAS.
5. Compare the results of steps 2 and 4. The increase or decrease in delay yields the actual propagation delay of the PCB
trace.
