-----------------------MINUTES ---------------------------
Mike LaBonte conducted the meeting.

Call for patent for disclosure:

- No one declared a patent.

AR Review:

- Mike add David's text for 4.2.21, 4.2.23, 4.2.25 to IQ spec
  - Done
  - Same text has been inserted into 5.2.21 & 5.2.23
  - No text supplied for 5.2.25

New items:

Continued review of IQ specification:

5.1.7.	{LEVEL 2}  [Temperature Range] is reasonable
- This was reviewed last week

5.1.8.	{LEVEL 2}  [Voltage Range] or [* Reference] is reasonable
- Mike asked if the min voltage could be fastest.
  - Bob: Compensated technology might be faster at lower voltage
  - Roy: This is a semantical exercise
- We decided to change the word "extend" to "span"
- Review of this check is done

5.1.13.	{LEVEL 2}  [Model] timing test load subparameters complete
- This should be a level 3 check
- We decided to delete the check because ibischk detects the problem

5.2 	Model Waveform Processing Requirements
- Title changes to: "Model Switching Behavior Requirements"
- First sentence is deleted because it largely restates the title.
- The title implies that this section is all about receivers.
  - Check 5.2.4 is the only one for output buffers
  - We decided to simply eliminate the word "receive" where it appears.

5.2.1.	{LEVEL 2}  [Model] Vinl and Vinh complete
- This should be a level 3 check
- We decided to delete the check because ibischk detects the problem

5.2.2.	{LEVEL 3}  [Model] Vinl and Vinh correct
- We decided to change "correct" to "reasonable".
- A sentence will be added to specify that these are DC parameters.
- A paragraph will be added to describe the relationship with Vmeas
  - This is similar to what 5.2.8 says for [Model Spec] Vinl/Vinh
- 5.2.5 might adopt the same verbage as 5.2.2, for [Model Spec]
- Roy suggested that the check should make clear that Vinl/Vinh encompass
  the range for a population of parts, not one part.

AR: Mike email new 5.2.2 text to Roy
AR: Roy write a sentence to describe the population scope of 5.2.8

5.2.3.	{LEVEL 3}  [Model] Vinl and Vinh enclose Vmeas
- This will be merged into 5.2.2 and deleted

5.2.4.	{LEVEL 3}  [Model] Vmeas matches data sheet
- Requiring parameters to match the datasheet is regarded as implicit.
- If there is a conflict, which one is right?
- We decided to delete this
