Walter, I am reading your comments now in detail. I wonder whether you have a typo in the row numbers on your first comment: "20, 21, 22, 26 all relate to Tx_Jitter and Rx_Clock_PDF parameters and Types Table, Gaussian, Dual-Dirac, DjRj. And also relate to the use of Table on model specific Usage In parameters. I would suggest that discussion on these Format be deferred until I present the Jitter section of BIRD 119. The following do not include Formats, Table, Gaussian, Dual-Dirac, DjRj" Could you please verify this? Thanks, Arpad ============================================================== ________________________________ From: Walter Katz [mailto:wkatz@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, October 15, 2010 11:46 AM To: Muranyi, Arpad; ibis-macro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [ibis-macro] Re: Typos/Value/Default/Foramt BIRD draft rev 3 posted Arpad, Let me comment on the remaining issues in your spreadsheet. 20, 21, 22, 26 all relate to Tx_Jitter and Rx_Clock_PDF parameters and Types Table, Gaussian, Dual-Dirac, DjRj. And also relate to the use of Table on model specific Usage In parameters. I would suggest that discussion on these Format be deferred until I present the Jitter section of BIRD 119. The following do not include Formats, Table, Gaussian, Dual-Dirac, DjRj 25 Type and Format relationships Type Allowed Formats Boolean Value, List, Corner String Value, List, Corner Float Value, List, Corner, Range, Increment, Steps Integer Value, List, Corner, Range, Increment, Steps UI Value, List, Corner, Range, Increment, Steps Tap Value, List, Corner, Range, Increment, Steps UI specifically is used to describe the values of parameters that are in Seconds. If the Type is Float, then a value of 10e-12 would be interpreted at 10ps. If the Type is UI, and the bit_time was 100ps, then a value of .1 would be interpreted by the EDA tool (and the DLL) as 10ps. 33 Impulse Matrix AMI_Init can only modify the first column AMI_Init may not modify the crosstalk (not first) columns 36 AMI parameters In/Out String - "", tabs, CRLF, etc", clarify rules on how generated from a specific ami file Leaving the Table aside, the rules in the BNF are quite clear. " are not allowed except surrounding string variables any ASCI character (except ") are allowed between " surrounding string varables tabs, CRLF are treated as white space BFN as described in BIRD 5.0 (Noting that (Reserved_Parameter and (Model_Specific branches are eliminated Each parameter is followed by one of the allowed values specified for that parameter. 37 AMI parameters In/Out - "describe what the purpose of parameters out is" The purpose of parameters out is for the AMI_Init call, and the AMI_GetWave calls to return to the EDA tool the values of Usage Out and InOut parameters. The EDA tool is to either report these values to the user, or use these values as specified by IBIS if they are reserved parameters, or by the model maker if they are Model Specific parameters.

The examples do not contain Format, but the explanations for the rules do mention it. Having to mention Format in the rules caused some serious headaches for me, and the BIRD got bigger, but I think it works. Please verify everything to make sure I didn't make any mistakes. Comments are welcome. I also asked Mike L. to post an updated Task List, which is at: http://www.vhdl.org/pub/ibis/macromodel_wip/archive/20101013/arpadmurany i/IBISv5.0%20AMI%20specification%20BIRD%20task%20list/IBIS50AMI_TaskList _2010_10_13.pdf Please come prepared to the next ATM teleconference so we can discuss the above BIRD draft meaningfully, and possibly put it behind us...
