Agenda
======

1) Opens
2) Call for any related patent disclosures
3) Review of ARs:

To All:  People should bring their lists of things that need to
         be solved in an overhauled new IBIS specification

Michael M.:  - Send proposal document to Mike LaBonte for posting;
             - Confirm with Synopsys whether "used by permission"
               can be used as the official indicator on relevant
               documents.
               - in progress


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) Synopsys update                                        (Todd/Mike)

5) Discuss Walter's posted list of IBIS improvements:

Summary of discussion on my [Walter's] proposed direction for IBIS.

  1) Things that could be done quickly with simple new keywords.
  2) Major effort, totally new package methodology.
  3) and 4) Items that can be done in the Wednesday Interconnect
meeting.
  5) 6) 7) Probably will not be done. 

  1) Implement keywords to address differential and high speed
differential buffers
     a. Final Stage Subckt (frequency dependent C_Comp and loss)
     b. Differential Termination Subckt (makes IBIS models True
differential)
     c. Differential Standard Load Subckt 
     d. Common Mode Voltage
     e. Simple N-Tap FIR equalization for Tx models
     f. Simple LTI impedance model instead of IV curves
     g. Cookbook for generating and using IBIS differential models
     h. Implement [Specification] statement to point to industry
standard measurement and timing rules

  2) Package models based on IBIS Interconnect Spice
  3) Sparse Touchstone Data
  4) Touchstone Port Data (wrapper)
  5) Deprecate (remove) lots of unused and useless IBIS stuff from the
spec.
  6) External Model DLL API
  7) Better support for ODT

Thanks,

Arpad
