 -----------------------MINUTES ---------------------------

- Review of minutes for June 10, 2003
   Minutes of June 10th approved as written.

- Announcements
   EIA Call for Patent Disclosure
      No company declared a patent.

AR review:

   Additional offline planning for DesignCon.  All speakers have
committed to attend by phone or in person.  Most papers have been
uploaded, but the link has not yet been added to summits page.
   SiSoft will order lunch, and IBIS will pay for it.  Pizza would be
OK.
   John Angulo, ramp-to-Vt-crosscheck, no progress.  Should be called
ramp-to-IV crosscheck.
   Level 0 versus Level 1: Level 0 means "can be checked by software".
Kim thinks it should be what is checked today, or else document sections
would need to be revised.  How should document mention which checks
are made in current ibischk, and which are not?  For example, Ramp
could be checked against IV tables, but is not checked by ibischk3.
AR: Tabled to next meeting.

- Opens for new items
Summit Discussions:
    Kim gave his impressions of the Quality presentation.  Attendance
was lower than last year.  Kim will send his recommended slide updates
to Bob Haller.
   Bob Ross noted that DAC Summit attendance has been around 25 in the
past, was 20 this year.  Robert Haller noted that 17 people were
pre-registered for DesignCon East Summit.
   Laptop will be provided by Cadence; backup laptop provided by Cisco.
SiSoft will arrange for copies.   Project is being provided by Mentor.

AR: Bob Haller to send pre-registration list to Bob Ross.

- Detailed Documentation review
   Waveform_processing.txt (IQ_4_5_wave_proc.txt)

   Item 6 (ramp):
   Mike will include check of Ramp against IV for dV.
   Bob Ross noted that V-t tables to Vcc and GND might exist, but
might not be useful for Ramp comparisons (such as differential
buffer.)  Rules for determining Vcc for Ramp are sensitive to I/O
type.  John noted that some differential buffers indicate Ramp was
actually generated using a differential load instead of the specified
load.  This section of the spec is out of date, since V-t tables were
intended to supercede ramp.
   Mike suggested we word this section accordingly.

   Item 7 (waveform processing)
   A number of these are not presently checked by ibischk3, but
document lists them as Level 0.  Those could be moved to Level 1, or
else a bug filed.  Since Vmeas is a databook parameter, it is Level 1. 
Could say having Vmeas between Vinh and Vinl is common, but not
required.
   Bugs should be filed to update ibischk3 warnings.  BIRDs should be
filed to update IBIS spec.
   This might be included in the Model section, since it only applies
to buffers.

   Item 5: OK to mention specific interfaces, such as HSTL and SSTL.
