Mark,

Can your provide the SI community some insight on how you generate these
parameters now. Specifically, do you take measurements on a number
of different samples over temp/voltage ranges and with different loads?
Are they SPICE derived? Do you specify a certain amount of 'cushion'
in the parameters? This might be helpful to those of us who don't know
how vendors derive the numbers.

Thanks,
