I made a few corrections to the Mentor questions below...

Old ARs: - Arpad: Write parameter passing syntax proposal (BIRD draft) for *-AMS models in IBIS that is consistent with the parameter passing syntax of the AMI models - not done - TBD: Propose a parameter passing syntax for the SPICE [External ...] also? - Arpad: Review the documentation (annotation) in the macro libraries. - deferred until a demand arises or we have nothing else to do 4) Discuss Brad's Connectivity Protocol suggestions 5) Discuss AMI related questions from Mentor a) Should each GetWave call be required to contain an integer multiple of samples per bit (integer number of bit intervals)? - Mentor's preference: yes b) Is there a requirement to use 2^N samples per bit? Some models do have such "preference", and we don't know how to find out that such a requirement exists in the model from its .ami file. - Mentor's preference: no c) How many clock ticks are expected to be returned by a GetWave call? (Number of bits, or number of samples). Need to know since EDA tool needs to allocate the memory for the clock ticks. - Mentor's preference: equal to number of bits in the call, possibly with one extra tick d) Is the GetWave call size allowed to vary between calls? Both getting larger or smaller? e) Are the clock ticks returned by GetWave expected to be aligned with sample times, or can they be anywhere in time? - Mentor's preference: no (otherwise, ticks could be made of type 'integer') 6) Verify final flow for the 5.1 specification 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
