Call for patent disclosure: - No one declared a patent. AR Review: - Bob look into test load measurement points BIRD - Text indicates this was intended to be simulation based only. - Adding measurement based language may complicate things. - Done. - Anders create example IBIS file with golden waveforms - TBD, maybe week after next - Mike add explanation of OPTIONAL and make 5.2.9 OPTIONAL - First part not done. - Mike check IBISCHK code for Pulse_time checks - Done. - IBISCHK checks: Pulse_high, Pulse_low and Pulse_time must all be present or absent Pulse_time must be > 0 - Mike check IBISCHK code for 5.2.10 and 5.2.11 - Done. - IBISCHK checks: [Model Spec] Pulse_low < [Model Spec] Vinl+ [Model Spec] Pulse_low < [Model Spec] Vinh [Model Spec] Pulse_low < [Model] Vinh [Model Spec] Pulse_high > [Model Spec] Vinh- [Model Spec] Pulse_high > [Model Spec] Vinl [Model Spec] Pulse_high > [Model] Vinl - Mike mark 5.2.10 and 5.2.11 for deletion - Done New items: - Bob: There will be a quality-related paper by Lynne Green at the summit - David: Are we ready to present correlation to the IBIS Open Forum? - Mike and Bob felt the group is not ready. - Continued review of the IQ Specification: 5.2.12. {LEVEL 3} [Model Spec] Pulse_time reasonable - Agreement that this can be deleted. 5.2.9. {LEVEL 2, OPTIONAL} [Model Spec] Pulse subparameters complete - David: We are running into a problem with our choice to avoid duplication with IBISCHK. - Testing for pulse immunity is not often performed. - If pulse parameters are given in a data sheet, they have to be in IBIS. - David: Leave it OPTIONAL. - Bob: may be dangerous to require every possible keyword. - Not all tools may handle it the same. - Data sheets tend to give full curves. - Mike: Do we really want to require this? - Anders: Once BIRD 109 passes the info may be scarce, because it may require information not currently provided in data sheets. - Bob: Absolute Maximum Rating values could be used if functional not known. - We decided to keep this check. 5.2.13. {LEVEL 2} [Model Spec] S_Overshoot subparameters complete - Anders: Important thing would be the functional limitation - Not destruction (absolute maximum rating) - BIRD 109 trying to clirfy the difference - Will be voted next open forum 5.2.14. {LEVEL 2} [Model Spec] S_Overshoot subparameters match data sheet - David: This could be combined with 5.2.13 5.2.15. {LEVEL 2} [Model Spec] S_Overshoot subparameters track typ/min/max - David: We should strike the "0.0V" part of this check: - Bob: Model Spec subparams are based on actual reference to global ground. - More s_overshoot is allowed if supply voltage increases. - Bob ECL & PECL would need separate models. - We decided to keep this. Next meeting: 17 Jun 2008 11-12 AM EST (8-9 AM PST) Meeting ended at 01:03 PM Eastern Time.
