Arpad:

You asked at the Summit meeting why the bottom side
pre-emphasis (de-emphasis) was less than the top side
in slide 8 of ross1.pdf for the SPICE simulation.

My (expanded) response was that the pulldown impedance
(of the Main) varied over the full range (1.8 V to .5 V),
and the lower impedance (as seen by the Boost) at the
lower end accounted for the reduced de-emphasis amplitude.
This is also seen later in all the IBIS simulations when
the buffer is constructed with [Driver Schedule] which
take into account all the load interactions.

The pre-emphasis template in Todd's presentation westerhoff.pdf
slide 8 show the connection through an Adder function.   This
appears to remove any interactive load dependency.  Is
this correct?  If so, then we need a different method of
combination in the template to correctly mimic some real world
situations.
