Agenda
======

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


- Mike M. start up the IBIS Interconnect Task Group meetings to
  discuss the analog modeling proposals
  - done

- Michael M provide examples to show what IC vendors need
  - moving to the Interconnect Task Group


Any other AR-s?


Old ARs:

Arpad:  Review the documentation (annotation) in the macro libraries.
        - deferred until a demand arises or we have nothing else to do



Note:  To be officially correct, we need a motion to un-table BIRD 121
       in order to be able continue discussion on it.



4) BIRD 123.4  IBIS-AMI New Reserved Parameters for Jitter/Noise
   - review formatting changes                               (Walter)
    - questions/comments/discussion?


5)  BIRD 150, dependency table                               (Walter)
    - questions/comments/discussion?


6) BIRD 131  IBIS-AMI repeaters
   - review the BIRD and decide wither any changes are required


7) BIRD 147  Back-channel support
   BIRD 128  Allow AMI_parameters_out to pass AMI_parameters_in
             data on calls to AMI_GetWave
   - review the BIRDs and decide wither any changes are required


8)  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?


9)  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?


10) 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.

 
11) 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:
==============

    - BIRD 121.1, data management parameters (file support)    (Walter)



Thanks,

Arpad
