Old ARs: Arpad: Review the documentation (annotation) in the macro libraries. - deferred until a demand arises or we have nothing else to do 4) Interconnect Task Group Report (Mike Mirmak) 5) BIRD 131 IBIS-AMI repeaters, "Redriver" proposal (Walter/Fangyi) - questions, comments? 6) BIRD 147 Back-channel support (Ambrish) - questions, comments? 7) BIRD 128 Allow AMI_parameters_out to pass AMI_parameters_in data on calls to AMI_GetWave - questions, comments? 8) BIRD 154 Using IBIS-AMI Leaf Labels in List Parameters (Walter) - questions, comments? 9) Info, Out, InOut BIRD (Arpad) - latest wording includes "in order to be compliant with this specification, Model_Specific parameters ... must not ...", and omits the word "simulation" so it's meaning doesn't have to be defined - questions/comments/discussion? 10) Eye Mask definition (Arpad) - Rx_Receiver_Sensitivity is the equivalent of the vertical (or voltage) part of an eye mask. It would make sense to define the horizontal (timing) portion of the eye mask also. - questions/comments/discussion? 11) DLL error trapping and return codes (Greg Edlund) - address the nasty condition where the DLL and tool crash without a trace. The EDA vendor says, "I can't help you because I can't see inside the model." The model vendor says, "I can't help you because I don't own that tool." The user is left with a non-functional model. 12) What is the purpose of the specification? Describe the syntax and rules of the syntax, or tell the reader how to make models? - questions/comments/discussion? Tabled topics: ============== "AMI_ResolveDependentParam" function proposal (Fangyi) BIRD 150, Dependency Table (Walter) 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
