All: Here are some review comments on the draft of IBIS Version 5.1 (minus the IBIS-AMI sections). General Comments, Conventions: 1. I prefer Arial 14 (vs. Aerial 12) for top-level sections due to other Arial 12 headings inside the section. 2. We should make them Upper Case like in IBIS Version 5.0. Some references such as "NOTES ON DATA DERIVATION METHOD" are in upper case. 3. I assume we are keeping the existing Section numbers 4. All yellowed Section links need to be made dynamic?? 5. All other yellowed "above/below/last section/item 10 above, etc." or named sections need to be reviewed and possibly revised. 6. Should figure numbers, table numbers and equation numbers (if given) be linked to section numbers? E.g., Figure 6c.1 7. Should lists of information be separated from the paragraph by a line feed? (See Pg. 4 list of characters versus pg. 12 list of characters.) Also see item 7. in specific comments below. 8. Should Table caption be on Top or bottom and 2 linefeeds away? (e.g. Table 2 on pg 48) 9. Missing Captions, e.g., Figure 1. 10. Remove Text figures when Visio picture approved. 11 Figure Cropping, removal of captions, adding of captions where missing or unknown pass Pg. 33, 35, 38, 40, etc. Crop Figures 3, 4, 5, 6. 7, 8, Remove embedded caption since it is duplicated. Add captions where indicated 12. Table Caption additions throughout. Specific Comments 1. Pg. 4. item 3. The table should be in Courier New 10 like on Pg. 12. Why in Courier New 10 are the single quote mark ' different. The Pg. 4 one is the left ', while the Pg. 12 version is just a vertical '? 2. Pg. 4: Line feed separations between item numbers is not consistent. It appears to vary between 1, 1-1/2. Recommend at least 1-1/2 and possibly 2 (as in V5.0) for all items 3. Pg. 4. Other formatting items (font, linefeeds, tabs) might be reviewed for items 2 and 8 4. Pg. 6: Section "3.1" should be Section "3a" 5. Pg 12: [Comment Char] list of characters should be indented by one tab - same as in Section 3, item 3. 6. pg 13: File Rev] --> [File Rev] 7. Pg 18 lists of length limits - 2 -spaces look too spreadout. (This is also Arpad's comment.) I think we should review all of this and set a consistent standard. 8. Pg 25 - Correct the fonts for the line: Keyword: [Model] 9. Pg. 28, 29: Figures 1, 2 - the box around the drivers are removed. The boxes can indicate that the timing test load setup can include the package model, (e.g., Timing_location Pin) So the timing test load connection can be at the "Die" or "Pin" as in V5.0. It is not only just an ideal buffer test. 10. Pg. 49: Refer to Notes on Data Derivation Method" The section title should be upper case per V5.0 and consistency. 11 .Pg. 50 Yellowed "Other Notes" should be in italics. 12. Pg 61, 62 Equation variable "0" is not italicized. 13. Pag 66, Figure 13. Make the device a true box without extended left, right borders. 14. pg 69, Figure 14 - make the box part look more like two MOSFETs in parallel, and the pin1, pin2 terminals horizontally centered. (correction to be discussed) 15. Pg 72 dv --> dV 16: Pg 91 - Add Italic Example: above the Example 17. pg. 102 - Definitions: Arial 12 Bold (Put definitions in Table??) 18 pg 109 Keyword Definitions: Arial 12 Bold 19 pg. 117 Figure 26: Remove Figure 8 caption inside the figure. 20 pg. 118 Figure 27: Remove Figure 9 caption inside the figure 21 pg. 123 - put Courier |-------- above | Example .... entry to be parallel with the entry on pg. 124 (or we look at the overall format for Section 6b. for multiple examples) 22 pg. 139 Fiure 30 has Figure 12 Caption inside the figure 23 pg 55 7 Package Modeling| --> 7 Package Modeling 24 pg. 155: Case differences of "note" in Table 15 25 pg. 156 Usage Rules for the .pkg File - Arial 12 bold, and .pkg is lower case by revised convention not honoring V5.0 upper case headings. 26. pg. 160: Single-space before See Figure 31 - add space before new sentence since convention throughout is 2 spaces. 27. pg 161: RLC Matrix Notes: Arial 12 Bold 28 pg. 164 - [Define Packae Model] My_Model Courier 10 Font?? Review 29 pg. 165 - Package Model Example Arial 12 Bold Also, italic Example: might be removed since this is not a keyword description 30 pg. 168 Usage Rules: and Contents: should be Arial 12 Bold 31 pg. 175 Figure 34 Remove A5 <----- line 32 pg 177: Method| ---> Method on title line 33 pg 195 Parameters| ---> Parameters in the title 34 pg 196 Line feed before C_Heatsink_Float line (mistake in V5.0) Later Additions/Fixes 1. Title Page and Table of Contents 2. Section 2, Version 5.1 update writeup 3. All Tree diagrams. 4. Change all example dates, Versions to the new year and date and version of ratification. For example [Date] August 29, 2008 to the current date. Also for some version references, e.g. in .pkg, [IBIS Ver] 5.1 5.Fixes from Ver5.0 known_issues document
