Agenda
======
1) Opens
2) Roll call
3) Review of ARs:
Randy: Investigate if/why/how a clock waveform input might be used
- in progress
Michael M.: Investigate if/why/how a clock waveform input might be used
- in progress
Any other AR-s?
4) Call for any IBIS related patent disclosures
5) Approval of minutes
6) List of IBIS-AMI issues we might need to solve with new
function footprint(s) (Fangyi)
- discussion
- strawman poll on which topics we might want to write BIRDs for
7) Single ended applications of algorithmic modeling (All)
- discussion
a) clock forwarding
b) moving Vref
c) rise/fall asymmetry
- gets worse at higher data rate(?)
- can be handled by EDA tool without changing the DLL footprint
("meld" two edges into one for the DLL)
d) single ended filter needs different algorithms
- EQ effecting Vref
e) loss of information when using difference signals only
f) power aware simulation (SSO effects)
8) Input thresholds/measurement target information and (Walter)
eye diagram specification (including BER)
- any feedback/comment from EDA vendors?
9) Complex C_comp modeling (Randy)
- discussion?
10) Motion to adjourn?
Topic bin list:
===============
- Removing the single-ended input threshold requirements for
differential buffers
- Removing the single-ended characterization load requirements for
differential buffers
- Guidance for power-aware vs. AMI models - do we have rules for
how a power-aware (and therefore potentially non-LTI) buffer
analog data set should be used with IBIS-AMI algorithmic data?
- Fix all the referencing problems in the current specification
(after Randy's C_comp proposal and BIRD189 are done)
- IBIS-AMI Post Simulation Processing (FEC) (Mike L.)
Tabled topics:
==============
11) New BIRDs from Editorial Task Group? (Bob/Radek)
a) Specify buffer reference terminals for pins ([Pin Reference])
b) Simulation (aka DIA) vs. DUT (depends on #a)
c) C_comp and package reference in simulation clarifications
(depends on #a)
d) Make changes to the [Receiver Threshold], once a) and b) are
resolved
12) 166.4 Resolving problems with Redriver Init Flow (Walter)
13) BIRD190 (Ambrish)
14) Fangyi's Redriver flow BIRD draft (Fangyi)
- add equations
- consider rewriting the AMI "front end" in the spec (flows)
(when this proposal is added to the spec)
15) How to handle missing min/max data? (Arpad)
- what should be the governing rule for synchronizing
typ/min/max data?
Pending BIRDs awaiting discussion:
==================================
166.4 Resolving problems with Redriver Init Flow
181.1 I/V Table Clarifications
190 Clarification for Redriver Flow
195.1 Enabling [Rgnd] and [Rpower] Keywords for Algorithmic Input Models
TBD New proposal for Redriver Flow (may replace BIRD166)
TBD C_comp modeling with IBIS-ISS
Thanks,
Arpad
