David, As Walter said, it is written, and my plan is that as soon as we get BIRD 121.2 out of our way in the ATM meetings (hopefully in our next meeting on 11/20), we dive into discussing it. How it will help in modeling the analog buffers will be determined in the parallel discussions in the Interconnect Task Group, where the package and related analog modeling proposals are discussed. Thanks, Arpad =================================================================== From: ibis-macro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ibis-macro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Walter Katz Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2012 5:27 PM To: DBanas@xxxxxxxxxx; 'IBIS-ATM' Subject: [ibis-macro] Re: Question on dependency tables. David, Yes. The on-die s-parameters (either as Arpad suggest in BIRD 116, or I will suggest in the package and on-die interconnect proposals will be able to reference an AMI parameter such as Tstonefile. Tstonefile can be a dependent parameter in a dependency table as demonstrated in the example on page 6 of the latest draft (enclosed).

Is the dependency tables BIRD written, such that a particular set of AMI parameter user choices can dictate to the EDA tool which analog IBIS model to select for modeling the buffer?
