AR: Barry to send Adam's new email address. (Done.) - Announcements - EIA Call for Patent Disclosure No company declared a patent. - AR Review Bob Ross to contact Atul. Not done. Lynne Green to contact Charlotte Leventhal to get a style guide. There is no single style. We should select whatever style points we prefer. No authors have received feedback. - Opens for new items "Stairstepping" in I-V curves. - Documentation http://www.sisoft.com/ibis-quality/docs/ Consistency between checklist and document section numbers and titles. Example: "Section 1: General Header". Need to organize the documents we have. Could create a master document template. We will review one document (section) per week. We will place in the agenda which document we will be reviewing and keep an additional document "on deck". First pass will provide a set of documents with complete content but not formatted. Next pass will flush out sections in our standard format. Overlap between documents can be resolved. Example of overlap is "header quality" and "general header" documents. Some documents include keywords, which is good for clarification. We will cross reference IBIS keywords were applicable. We will be mindful of the different IQ levels and how they effect the documentation (and checklist). We need to enumerate and map document list into the checklist spreadsheet. Stair steppping: Slopes of curves and how they effect simulation: I-V curves. Kim found a numerical precision "stair stepping" issues. Graphing slope shows a constant slope, and then the slope goes to zero for a few points. This could be a 2-digit resolution in s2ibis2; up to 10% error going from one unit to another. s2ibis2 has other numerical limitations; overlaps points, etc. due to the way it tries to separate "interesting" and "linear" regions. AR: Bob will roll this info into his document on I-V tables. Bob posted Mike Labonte's documents to web site. Review of "Quality Summary" document: Quality Summary describes each object in the IBIS file, and goes before the first component or model. What simulation is suitable for a receiver? AR: Barry and Kim to talk offline about expanding the description details for the quality levels. Updated document to be posted by December 13th. - Plans for next meeting Complete first review Quality Summary document. Begin review of "General Header" and "Header Quality". January meeting dates (New Year's eve? DesignCon Summit.) AR: ALL: read document to be reviewed prior to December 17th. - Schedule for next meeting December 17, 2002 9-10 AM EST (6-7 AM PST) Phone: 408-974-8478 or 800-249-5618 Meeting access: CONFERENCE SERVER 2, Conference ID: 54644 Meeting ended at 9:05 AM Eastern Time.
