He is relatively new to IBIS-AMI and would like to learn more to better develop TI’s AMI models. Casey Morrison and Srikanth Sundaram also introduced themselves. They are in an IP development team at TI, and they work with IBIS-AMI models. They have been developing them for a couple of years. CALL FOR PATENTS Michael Mirmak called for any patents or pending patents related to the IBIS 3.2, IBIS 4.2, IBIS 5.0, Touchstone 2.0 or ICM 1.1 specifications. No patents were declared. REVIEW OF MINUTES AND ARS Randy Wolff called for comments regarding the minutes of the October 22, 2010 IBIS Open Forum teleconference. The minutes were approved with no changes. MEMBERSHIP STATUS AND TREASURER'S REPORT Michael Mirmak reported that membership is stable. We will need to discuss our financial status and approve spending to zero out our account for the year. Bob Ross noted that there may be receipts from the Asian IBIS summits that need to be submitted quickly for reimbursement. WEB PAGE UPDATES Syed Huq reported that he made minor updates to the roster and events pages. MAILING LIST ADMINISTRATION Mike LaBonte reported that things are going well overall. There were a few joins recently. There are 457 unique emails between the two mailing lists. He researched the allowed size of email archives and wondered if there was automatic partitioning software. Archiving is a manual process, and it has been a long time since the emails were archived into .txt files and stored into directories sorted by year. He is planning to do this at some point. MODEL LIBRARY UPDATE No update. MISCELLANY/ANNOUNCEMENTS None. OPENS FOR NEW ISSUES None. INTERNATIONAL/EXTERNAL ACTIVITIES - DASC Michael Mirmak reported no new updates – no new meetings since the last IBIS meeting. The DASC file and e-mail archive may be found at: http://www.dasc.org/ - P1735 Encryption No report from Syed Huq. Greg Edlund asked what this group is. Michael Mirmak responded that it is an IEEE interest group defining a standard encryption approach for VHDL-AMS and Verilog-AMS. The IEEE Study Group on Encryption web reflector archives are found at: http://www.eda-stds.org/ip-encrypt/hm/ -VHDL-AMS Table-Driven Models Arpad Muranyi reported that he attended the last meeting. Comments collected during the vote for the "Table-driven Modeling in VHDL-AMS Requirements" document were discussed. There was also discussion on the various interpolation options of the table data. More information can be found at: http://www.eda.org/twiki/bin/view.cgi/P10761/ProjectsArea#Table_driven_ Modeling_Champion_J -Conferences EMCCompo2011, the 8th International Workshop on Electromagnetic Compatibility of Integrated Circuits, will be held in Dubrovnik, Croatia November 6-9, 2011. Organizers of the event have contacted the IBIS Open Forum to see if there is interest in having a tutorial session on IBIS. More information can be found at: http://www.emccompo2011.org The 2011 IEEE Workshop on Signal Propagation on Interconnects (SPI) will be held in Naples, Italy on May 8-11, 2011. The first call for papers went out. More information can be found at: http://www.spi2011.unina.it/ -Press Update None. TECHAMERICA STATUS Michael Mirmak reported that he had no new updates from TechAmerica on items of general concern to IBIS. We will have a better look at our financial status once we close the year. VOTING REPRESENTATIVE LIST Randy Wolff noted that he presented a spreadsheet at the last teleconference meeting showing each member company’s primary and secondary contacts as found in the roster page on the IBIS website. It also showed who the usual IBIS Open Forum teleconference attendees are from each member company. We would like those who are usual participants to be listed as primary or secondary contacts to make sure they get TechAmerica ballots. Randy noted that TI and SiSoft updated their contacts on the roster. He took the AR to contact Nam Nguyen of AMD to encourage him to be AMD’s primary or secondary contact on the roster. IEC APPROVAL ACTIVITIES Randy Wolff reported that there was an IEC meeting in Seattle in October. Randy contacted Chris Denham for an update. Chris did not make any contact with TC93 working group members. Randy searched the internet for news related to the IEC meeting, and he came across a blog on the Mentor Graphics site from Dennis Brophy, chair of the TC93 working group 2. The blog mentions that IBIS 4.2 is on the work plan for standardization. Randy asked Chris Denham about contacting Dennis Brophy, but Chris has not responded. Randy plans to contact Dennis Brophy for more details. SUMMIT STATUS -China Summit Report The meeting was held at the Four Points by Sheraton hotel in Shenzhen on Tuesday, November 9.

Contact the IBIS Board for further details. IBIS QUALITY TASK GROUP Mike LaBonte reported that the group is reviewing a BIRD from Anders Ekholm related to Golden Waveforms. The next meeting is November 23 and reoccurs every two weeks. He noted that the IBIS Quality Checklist for the Quality Specification 2.0 was promoted to the top level on the Quality website along with a presentation on how to use it. The Quality Task Group checklist and other documentation can be found at: http://www.eda.org/ibis/quality_wip/ IBIS MODEL REVIEW TASK GROUP No update. ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY MODELING TASK GROUP Arpad Muranyi reported that the group discussed the analog modeling BIRDs 119 and 121-124 in the last meeting. They are making some progress in discussions. The next meeting is November 30. Task group material can be found at: http://www.eda-stds.org/ibis/macromodel_wip/ INTERCONNECT TASK GROUP Michael Mirmak reported that the group resumes meetings next week. They are discussing MCP and IBIS-ISS. They are close to finalizing IBIS-ISS. Task group material can be found at: http://www.eda.org/ibis/interconnect_wip/ NEW ISSUES None. BIRD113.3: WEAK PULL-UP AND WEAK PULL-DOWN RESISTANCE AND VOLTAGE Greg Edlund reported that the BIRD has been stable since the last call. Minor editorial changes were made to the BIRD since it was submitted. Greg moved to vote on inclusion of the BIRD in the next version of IBIS. Bob Ross seconded the vote. The BIRD was approved with the following vote tally: Agilent: yes Cadence: yes Cisco: yes IBM: yes Intel: yes IO Methodology: yes LSI: yes Mentor: yes Micron: yes Nokia Siemens Networks: yes SiSoft: yes Teraspeed: yes TI: abstain BIRD114.3: IBIS-AMI DEFINITION CLARIFICATIONS Arpad Muranyi stated that he incorporated changes requested by Anders Ekholm regarding text strings and by Radek Biernacki related to the integer definition and use of ‘token’. Radek thought the changes looked good. Arpad moved that a vote be scheduled on BIRD114.3 for the next meeting. The motion was seconded by Radek. The motion was approved. BIRD116: ADD IBIS-ISS TO [EXTERNAL MODEL] AND [EXTERNAL CIRCUIT] AS A SUPPORTED LANGUAGE Lance Wang suggested that the BIRD be put on hold until IBIS-ISS is approved. Radek Biernacki also liked this suggestion. Arpad Muranyi noted that he would like more feedback on the BIRD. Lance added that he did not have any issues with the content. Michael Mirmak noted that there may be discussion in the Interconnect task group about how this BIRD might affect changes to IBIS-ISS. BIRD117.2: PARAMETERIZE A_TO_D AND D_TO_A CONVERTERS The group discussed waiting to vote on this BIRD until voting on BIRD116. BIRD118.1: ANALOG PARAMETER ASSIGNMENTS No discussion. BIRD119: IBIS-AMI NEW RESERVED PARAMETERS Walter Katz noted confusion on how to use S-parameter files to represent the analog portion of the IBIS-AMI model. He will be presenting on this at the November 30 ATM meeting. BIRD119 is actually replaced by BIRDs 121-124. BIRD120: IBIS-AMI FLOW CORRECTION Casey Morrison noted a concern on sections in the BIRD that require EDA tools to implement de-convolution, but the formula or procedure for doing this is not explained in the BIRD. He was concerned that EDA tools will give different results. Walter Katz noted that you can’t return the impulse response of the filter in the flow, so this makes de-convolution necessary in certain circumstances. It is encouraged not to write models that require de-convolution. Walter thinks the BIRD adequately describes the combination of models that require de-convolution, so the user should avoid these situations. Walter noted that EDA vendors almost unanimously rejected the ability to return the impulse response of the filter. BIRD121: IBIS-AMI NEW RESERVED PARAMETERS FOR DATA MANAGEMENT No discussion. BIRD122: IBIS-AMI NEW RESERVED PARAMETERS FOR ANALOG MODELING No discussion. BIRD123: IBIS-AMI NEW RESERVED PARAMETERS FOR JITTER/NOISE No discussion. BIRD124: IBIS-AMI NEW RESERVED PARAMETERS FOR DEPENDENCY TABLES No discussion. BIRD125: MAKE IBIS-ISS AVAILABLE FOR IBIS PACKAGE MODELING Arpad Muranyi commented that IBIS-ISS defines useful features that would enhance current package modeling capabilities. This BIRD allows an IBIS- ISS subcircuit to be called through the [Define Package Model] syntax with a new [Package Circuit] keyword. This defines how the subcircuit connects between component pins and die pads. Walter Katz noted that this proposal looks similar to MCP. A problem not addressed is when you have a package with many SerDes signals. One can represent the package with s4p and s12p files for uncoupled and coupled situations as well as having options for corner cases. We need a way to map these small models into modeling a large package, because IC vendors are supplying these models currently. Walter requested that a methodology be defined to handle this. Arpad noted that this BIRD could be extended to support this or another BIRD could be written to address it. TSCHK2 BUG STATUS No new BUGs to report. IBISCHK5 BUG STATUS No new BUGs to report. IBISCHK5 UPDATE STATUS Bob Ross reported that the developer submitted a 5.0.4 package for review. It will be reviewed and released shortly. IBIS-ISS STATUS Michael Mirmak reported that the revision 0.7 draft is under review. The work in progress document can be found in the following directory: http://www.eda.org/ibis/ibis-iss_wip/ C_COMP AND CORNER DISCUSSION Not discussed due to time limitations. NEW TECHNICAL ISSUES Michael Mirmak reported that the TechAmerica technical writer is still working on updating the IBIS specification. He prepared preliminary documentation on how he would update the IBIS specification to a new style format. The document for review and comment is available at: http://www.eda.org/ibis/reformat_wip/IBIS_5%200_sample_pages.pdf NEXT MEETING A motion was made to hold the next teleconference meeting December 10, 2010 followed by January 7, 2011. The motion was seconded and approved. The next IBIS Open Forum teleconference will be held December 10, 2010 from 8:00 to 10:00 AM US Pacific Standard Time. A vote on BIRD114.3 is scheduled. ======================================================================== NOTES IBIS CHAIR: Michael Mirmak (916) 356-4261, Fax (916) 377-3788 michael.mirmak@intel.com Platform Applications Engineer, Intel Corporation 1900 Prairie City Rd., FM5-239 Folsom, CA 95630 VICE CHAIR: Lance Wang (978) 633-3388 lwang@iometh.com President/CEO, IO Methodology, Inc.
