All, I would like to propose the following plan to implement the "IBIS Interconnect Spice" (IBISIS) document ... 1. Once a specific version of the Hspice manual is chosen, I will make a list of pages from the hspice_sa.pdf and hspice_si.pdf files and have my Adobe expert (my wife) to extract those pages into a separate IBISIS.pdf. 2. I will first send this document to Synopsis for review, and limit distribution within IBIS to officers of IBIS that already have legal access to the Hspice documentation. 3. After review and possible modification of the IBISIS.pdf by Synopsis, we would expect to be able to put this document on the IBIS WEB site (with any Copyright protection requested by Synopsis). 4. The IBIS ATM committee can then determine how to partition the documentation effort. It is my strong recommendation that the body of the document simply reference the pages in the IBISIS.pdf. 5. I will personally volunteer to maintain the master document (assuming it is a .doc). I will also ask my Adobe expert to update the IBISIS.pdf, but limited to removing or adding full pages, and shading areas of the document that IBISIS does not support. 6. We can at the final stages of the effort remove the shaded sections and compact the document when warranted. I think this plan has the minimum impact on Synopsis, and will let us flush out the details of the functionality of IBISIS, and hopefully minimize the editing so that we can generate a document in a timely fashion.
