Feras,

 

I think the whole approach of BIRD 144 is ill advised. I think that you
need an IC Vendor to come to an ATM meeting and explain the problem you
are trying to solve and why specifically BIRD 116 does not address the IC
Vendor's needs. I therefore think BIRD 144 should be tabled until such
time as you get an IC Vendor to defend it.

Hello,

 

I have updated BIRD 144 to support terminating: 1) unused ports, and 2)
connected ports. The example below shows how. Figures and more details
will be provided in the latest version of the BIRD , which will be
uploaded very soon.

** Language Touchstone

| Corner corner_name file_name        circuit_name 

Corner    Typ         diffout_typ.s4p  NA

Corner    Min         diffout_min.s4p  NA

Corner    Max         diffout_max.s4p  NA

|** Ports List of port names (in same order as in Touchstone)

|

| Based on the Ports order below:

|** my_drive_pos should be connected to port 1 of Touchstone

|** A_signal_pos should be connected to port 2 of Touchstone

|** my_drive_neg should be connected to port 3 of Touchstone

|** A_signal_neg should be connected to port 4 of Touchstone

|

Ports my_drive_pos A_signal_pos my_drive_neg A_signal_neg
