Agenda
======

1) Opens
2) Call for any related patent disclosures
3) Review of ARs:


Arpad:  Submit the BIRD drafts to the IBIS Open Forum which
        were voted on
        - done


Any other AR-s?


Old ARs:

Arpad:  Review the documentation (annotation) in the macro libraries.
        - deferred until a demand arises or we have nothing else to do



4)  AMI_CornerRange_BIRD draft (Row 54)                   (Arpad)
     - last minute questions, comments?
     - vote to submit it to the Open Forum


5)  AMI Task List Review
     - verify that submitted BIRDs address all issues raised
     - review open items
       - Row 35  Define how Impulse Response is generated
       - Row 46/47  Remove certain Reserved Parameters
       - Row 56  Should (Usage Out) parameters have Default?
       - Row 63  Should AMI_Close be always required?
     - review prioritization




6a) BIRD 121, data management parameters (file support)  (Walter)
     - questions, comments?

6b) BIRD 122; Analog Buffer BIRD                         (Walter)
     - replaced with ISS_Buffer_BIRD.doc

6c) BIRD 123.2.2, jitter parameters  (includes Row 37)   (Walter)
     - review latest changes and graphics
     - do these changes answer the questions raised before:
       - remove Usage Out from the BIRD?  or
       - specify which function (Init or GetWave) can return values?
       - specify what the EDA tool should do with the returned values?

6d) BIRD 124.1, dependency table                         (Walter)
     - questions, comments?


7)  Info, Out, InOut BIRD                                 (Arpad)
    - latest wording includes "in order to be compliant with this
      specification, Model_Specific parameters ... must not ...",
      and omits the word "simulation" so it's meaning doesn't have
      to be defined
    - any comments, questions on this draft?


8)  Backchannel BIRD draft                               (Walter/Ken)
     - questions, comments?





Remaining Task List items:
==========================

Row 35: Clarify questions about impulse response
        - this needs to be discussed

Row 37: Usage Out for reserved (jitter) parameters
        - which function (Init or GetWave) can return these?

Row 46/47: Remove certain parameters and keywords
           - this needs to be discussed

Row 54:  Format Corner and Range interpretation
- spell out what makes the selection for Corner and Range
- is it the tool's corner setting?
- if so, how does typ/min/max align with typ/slow/fast for Corner?
- is it supposed to be shown in a GUI for the user to make a selection?

Row 56:  Should (Usage Out) parameters have Default or a Value at all?

Row 63:  Should AMI_Close always be required?
- should the spec say that all memory deallocations
  are done in AMI_Close?
- is that possible? (What if AMI_Init or GetWave
  allocates memory that is not visible to AMI_close)?
- Currently AMI_Close is not required with AMI_Init,
  therefore when AMI_Close is not present AMI_Init
  has to do memory deallocations also...
- goal is to make the model maker's life easier,
  and this is kind of confusing...


Thanks,

Arpad
