Hello everyone,
Here is a revised version of the Type_Format_Table_BIRD
draft from Ambrish.
Please read it over carefully and send us your comments.
I would like to discuss this in the upcoming ATM
teleconference on Tuesday, and if all goes well,
vote on it for submission to the Open Forum.
Thanks,
Arpad

ISSUE TITLE: Defining Relationships between Type and Format
REQUESTOR: Ambrish Varma, Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
DATE SUBMITTED: June 11,2011
DATE REVISED:
DATE ACCEPTED BY IBIS OPEN FORUM:
****************************************************************************
****************************************************************************
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE:
The relationship between parameter type and their format is unclear in the
5.0 version of the IBIS spec.
****************************************************************************
STATEMENT OF THE RESOLVED SPECIFICATIONS:
On page 141 in Section 6c after the lines:
| DjRj <minDj> <maxDj> <sigma>
| Convolve Gaussian (sigma) with uniform Modulation PDF
Add the following text:
|Formats Value, Corner and List can be of any defined Types whereas Formats
|Range, Increment and Steps can be of Types Float, UI, Integer and Tap only.
|Formats Gaussian, Dual-Dirac and DjRj can only be of Types Float and UI.
|For Format Table, the column entries must be of Type Float, UI, Integer,
|String or Boolean. Type Tap is illegal. If only one Type is provided, then all
|Table entries shall be of the specified type.
|Type can also be used to designate the entries for each column in the table.
|More information is provided in the definition of the Table format.
|
|Table 4 summarizes the relationships between the different Format and Data
|Types for Reserved or Model Specific Parameters.
Add the following text and table after Table 3 in Section 6c.

| +-------------------------------------------------+
| | Data Type |
| =============================================================================
| | Format | Float | UI | Integer | String | Boolean | Tap |
| +-------------------------+-------+------+---------+--------+---------+-----+
| | Value | X X X X X X |
| | Range | X X X X |
| | Corner | X X X X X X |
| | List | X X X X X X |
| | Increment | X X X X |
| | Steps | X X X X |
| | Gaussian | X X |
| | Dual-Dirac | X X |
| | DjRj | X X |
| | Table | X X X X X |

| Table 4: Allowed Data Types for Format Values

****************************************************************************
ANALYSIS PATH/DATA THAT LED TO SPECIFICATION:
The existing IBIS specification lacks clear definition of the relationship
between AMI parameter types and their format. This BIRD proposes to define this
relationship and add a table with all the possible allowed combinations for
Reserved as well as Model Specific AMI Parameters.
