Hi Jean,

V-T curve implicitly contains the behaviour of a buffer
during transition. If you want to know the magnitude of
current passing through the transistors during transition,
then it may not be possible from IBIS data directly.

During transition current being drawn(or sunk) from Vref
varies continously, which will be reflected in the output waveform.
So in that way V-T curve does capture transition behaviour of a buffer.

If you have more than one V-T curve, the transition can be modelled
more accurately.
