All,
I will be somewhere between Philadelphia and NYC during next Tuesday's
meeting, so I may not be able to attend. I think the document I sent out
after this past Tuesday's meeting is very close to fully defining the subset
of HSPICE that we intend to support. It requires careful review.
I think we are now at the stage to decide what formal final document we
would want to submit to the Open Forum to approve. I would like us to
consider making this document with out any significant changes as the
definition of the IBIS Interconnect Spice Dialect, and something like the
following to the IBIS Open Forum:
IBIS is planning to introduce new methods of modeling connector, package and
module interconnect. Each of these new modeling standards will require the
need to use SPICE subckts. Because of the large number of SPICE dialects,
IBIS ATM has determined the need for a "least common denominator" SPICE
dialect called IBIS Interconnect Spice Dialect. Synopsys has given us
approval to use HSPICE documentation to define this dialect. The attached
document was generated bys cutting and pasting directly from the Synopsys
HSPICE manuals. A SPICE subckt is IBIS Interconnect Spice compliant if it
follows the syntactical rules described in this document. Below is a list of
EDA vendors that have agreed to support this SPICE dialect in subckts in
their EDA tools. The IBIS ATM committee hereby request that the enclosed
document be approved as the IBIS Interconnect Spice Dialect.

I think that this approach can get this done very quickly, and we can move
on to using these SPICE subckts in package, connector and module models.
