Remember that these are loaded values *+/- 8mA for class I) and effectively
specify output drive strength (nominal max Rs=50 ohms) In a non-shunt-terminated
application a the practical values are 0 and Vddq

Watch out -- noise margin to the AC numbers is irrelevant. The AC thresholds
are guaranteed to cause a change of state, but for noise margin you only care
about the DC thresholds; they are the limits of what is guaranteed to NOT
cause a change of state.
