Hello Everyone, I am writing this message to let everyone know what the discussion topics in our next ATM and Interconnect meetings will be so that people involved in the proposals could prepare for the discussions, and people interested in the discussions could make themselves available for the meetings. (Mike, I hope you don't mind me making this pre-announcement about the next Interconnect meeting agenda). On Tuesday, 12/18 I would like to discuss the Repeater/Redriver and/or the Back channel proposals in the ATM meeting. There seems to be some inter-related questions between these two topics (does the Back channel communication go through the repeaters or not, etc...) so we might touch on both topics in the same discussion. On Wednesday, 12/19 we will discuss the analog buffer modeling proposals (BIRDs 116-118, 122 and related) in the Interconnect meeting. For some time I heard Walter say that he would support BIRD 116 and drop 122, but more recently I also heard him say that he would like to kill all the existing analog BIRDs and do things differently. I think we need to make some decisions on these questions, and decide on what direction we want to take so we could continue hammering out the details. I hope to have a good attendance in both meetings in order to be able to make good decisions for the future of our industry. Don't hesitate to use any of these email reflectors to discuss these topics if you can't attend the meetings. Thanks, Arpad ================================================================= --------------------------------------------------------------------- IBIS Macro website : http://www.eda.org/pub/ibis/macromodel_wip/ IBIS Macro reflector: //www.freelists.org/list/ibis-macro To unsubscribe send an email: To: ibis-macro-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: unsubscribe
