Arpad, I'm glad I read the BIRD because I understand it better now. So I think it is well worded. Comments: 1) The introduction does not mention that this BIRD affects both the approved IBIS spec as well as another BIRD. A formality, but it should mention that BIRD91.3 is affected. 2) Some of the lines changed in the BIRD91.3 section have nothing to do with the new keywords. For example, this picture seems to just change from using exclamation to pipe: Replace: | +===================+ | ! "Model Unit" ! | D_receive ---<! AMS code !--- A_puref | ! D_to_A and A_to_D !--- A_pdref | D_drive --->! conversions !--- A_signal | ! provided by !--- A_pcref | D_enable --->! model author !--- A_gcref | ! ! | +===================+ | Model Unit consists only of AMS code | (a_gnd and a_extref are not shown) | | Figure 5: AMS Model Unit, using an I/O buffer as an example | | | +===================================================+ | !

That's all, it's very nice.

I would like to get your feedback on it before we release it publicly, which I am hoping to do this Friday to meet the requirements for being able to vote on it in the next IBIS Summit Teleconference. Please send me your comments if you have any before the end of Thursday this week.
