The capacitive load (CL) is connected between the output
and GND. The Output timing for all standards, as published
in the speed files and the data sheet, is always based on a
CL value of zero unless otherwise specified. High-imped-
ance probes (less than 1 pF) are used for all measure-
ments. Any delay that the test fixture might contribute to test
measurements is subtracted from those measurements to
produce the final timing numbers as published in the speed
files and data sheet.
Using IBIS Models to Simulate Load
Conditions in Application
IBIS Models permit the most accurate prediction of timing
delays for a given application. The parameters found in the
IBIS model (VREF, RREF, CREF, and VMEAS) correspond
directly with the parameters used in Table 20, VT, RT, CL,
and VM. Do not confuse VREF (the termination voltage) from
the IBIS model with VREF (the input-switching threshold)
from the table! The four parameters describe all relevant
output test conditions.
Simultaneously Switching Output Guidelines
IBIS models are found at the following link:

Simulate delays for a given application according to its spe-
cific load conditions as follows:
1. Simulate the desired signal standard with the output
driver connected to the test setup shown in Figure 4.
Use parameter values VT, RT, CL, and VM from
Table 20.
2. Record the time to VM.
3. Simulate the same signal standard with the output
driver connected to the PCB trace with load. Use the
appropriate IBIS model (including VREF, RREF, CREF,
and VMEAS values) or capacitive 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 should be added to (or subtracted
from) the appropriate Output standard adjustment
(Table 19) to yield the worst-case delay of the PCB
trace.
