Arpad,

1. The model must assume that the reference clock is shifted in time from
the data by some unknown amount of time. The purpose of the reference
clock is to eliminate the effect of a frequency offset between the Tx and
the Rx.

2. The reference clock should start within a bit time of the start of the
simulation, and span the time domain of the input waveform (wave).

3. The reference clock must be terminated by a -1.

I think we should first decide whether we should be including this
feature.

Walter, and All,

We also need to talk about questions on how the EDA tool can supply a
clock for the AMI model.

1) Do all rules we develop for outgoing clock also apply to
   incoming one?  For example, current spec says that sample
   time is 1/2 bit after the clock.  Perhaps, incoming clocks
   should be used directly for synchronization.

2) Another story is about persistence of the clock value.  We
   allow, for example, that the output clock appears only after
   many bits of simulation.  Does this apply to input clock as
   well?  If yes, how?

3) Then, about termination with '-1'.  Is it still the case?
   What should be a model behavior if the incoming clocks do
   not cover a piece of waveform completely?

Thanks,

Arpad
