Arpad,
“matching designator pin name” does not cover the case when a terminal
reference a rail signal_name or bus_label. Consider the case of a terminal line
referencing signal name VDD. Do we need all designator pins that have signal
name VDD? Personally, It would make the [Designator Pin List] only include one
of the IBIS VDD pins.

Subject: [ibis-macro] BIRD draft relaxing [Designator Pin List] requirement
Hello Everyone,
Attached is a BIRD draft on the topic of removing the requirement to list all
designator
pins in the [Designator Pin List] keyword. The BIRD is rather simple, but the
proposed
sentence needs a good dose of attention from the reader… 😊
If possible, I would like to discuss this BIRD draft in the next ATM meeting
also. Please
take a few moments and read it (very) carefully so we can make any corrections
if
necessary.
Note that I did NOT address the question of adding the reserved ‘NC’
signal_type. As
I was re-reading this area of the EMD spec (for the umpteenth time), I ran into
a bunch
of questions that I need to straighten out in my mind before I can formulate a
proposal
for that. That’s the next thing I will attempt to do.
Thanks,
Arpad
