The invention relates to the field of digital circuit design, and provides a method for optimizing noise influence of a synchronous switch in an IBIS model. When a traditional IBIS model measures pull-up / pull-down characteristics, it is assumed that a power supply and ground potential are constant, voltage fluctuation actually caused by a synchronous switch is ignored, and the simulation precision of a high-speed interface is reduced.
