For differential signals (e.g. CK - CK#) slew rate for rising edges is measured from Vihdiffmin to
Vihdiffmax. This test is informational only.

Logic Levels
VIH(ac), maximum AC input logic high
Measure the local maximum value from VREF to VREF of the high pulse histogram. If multiple pulses are
measured, take the lowest number and the highest number as the worst cases.
The lowest number must be greater than or equal to the minimum limit and the highest number must be
less than or equal to the maximum limit.
VIH(dc), minimum DC input logic high
Measure the local minimum and maximum values from the first VIH(ac)min crossing point to the time
corresponding to VIH(dc)min crossing a 1V/ns slewrate slope to VREF. If multiple pulses are measured,
take the lowest, respectively the highest, number as the worst case.
