FreeLists / si-list / [SI-LIST] IBIS Interconnect Modeling Specification - Request for Feedback

["Mirmak, Michael" <michael.mirmak@xxxxxxxxx>]

The IBIS Open Forum has completed and is now reviewing a new draft 
document called the IBIS Interconnect Modeling Specification (ICM).  
In brief, the ICM specification permits model authors to represent a 
wide variety of interconnects, including connectors, cables and 
packages, using a regular, ASCII-based, human-readable format.  
Interconnect topologies can be described using implicit (tree) or 
explicit (nodal) connections, and conductor swathing is supported.  
Coupling can be represented through RLGC matrices or S-parameter data 
in Touchstone(R) format. 

This new specification is a significant improvement on the current 
IBIS EBD and PKG formats.  In order to help make it as useful as 
possible to the industry, the IBIS Open Forum requests your input.  
Please take a moment to review the draft specification, available 
at the following location:

http://www.eda.org/pub/ibis/connector/

Comments may be sent to the IBIS reflector, to me or to any IBIS 
Open Forum officer.  Your feedback is important!  The Open Forum 
intends to vote on approving or disapproving the specification on 
or before August 29.

Thank you in advance for your support.
