Agenda
======

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


Walter: Redistribute the document with the changes discussed
        - done

Arpad:  Write a clarification BIRD to discuss accuracy issues
        related to the various AMI clock_tick algorithms in an
        IBIS-AMI DLL
        - not done yet

Todd: Update the BIRD for IBIS S-parameter box based on
      feedback from discussion
        - not done yet

Any other AR-s?


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 AMI related questions raised by IBIS parser developer
a) The AMI file *is* restricted by the overall IBIS line length, as
shown
   below.  Was this intended? Are *all* lines in AMI files so
restricted?

Description <string>:
| ASCII string following Description describes a reserved parameter,
| model specific parameter, or the Algorithmic model itself.  It is used
| by the EDA platform to convey information to the end-user.  The entire
| line has to be limited to IBIS line length specification.  String
| literals begin and end with a double quote (") and no double quotes
are
| allowed inside the string literals.

---------------------------

b) What is the official comment character for AMI files?  If it is not
//,
   why is this character sequence featured in an example?
c) Related to this, why are the AMI comment rules listed outside the AMI
   file section in the IBIS specification?
d) What other syntax is permitted in AMI files (tab characters, etc.)?
We
   are looking for something similar to IBIS Section 3.
e) Was the first token in the AMI file intended to be the filename and
*only*
   the filename?


5) Finish our discussion on the IBIS-Interconnect-SPICE document
   on topics marked with "further discussion needed".
   (section on Library Integrity, it gives rules that are useful)


6) Comment on the latest document Walter distributed


Thanks,

Arpad
