I would like to let everyone know that we are going to
discuss the IC vendor's perspective on IBIS package
modeling in the ATM teleconference tomorrow, and I would
like to encourage the IBIS representatives of IC and/or
package vendors to attend the meeting so that we could
have a productive discussion.

Mike Mirmak will give us an overview of Intel's package
modeling practices and hopefully give us some thoughts on
which direction IBIS should take in order to be useful for
Intel's modeling needs.

I would like to have other IC and/or package vendors to
be present so that they can also express their views
on the topic, because I don't want to end up with a
specification that is tailored to one company's needs
only.

Questions I would like to find answer to are along the lines
of why the current IBIS package modeling is not useful for
the industry and what should the IBIS specification be
improved to make it useful again.

We know that the RLC or ideal T-line currently available in
IBIS is way too inadequate for GHz designs.  We would like
to utilize the IBIS-ISS capabilities to improve on that.
But do we have problems with the current syntax in the way
package models are referenced and instantiated in the .ibs
file?  Do we need a different way of doing that?  If so how?
Etc...

I think these meetings are important historic moments in IBIS.
We have the rare opportunity to define new directions, which
doesn't happen very frequently.

I would like to encourage everyone to participate in these
discussions so that we can find a useful solution for the
needs of the industry and make IBIS useful for package
modeling also.

Thanks,

Arpad
