Review of ARs:

none

BIRD95
- Can be implemented with macros.
  - Tie a table-driven current source to the power lead.

Review of Mike's library
- Mike released a library with 10 modules commented
- Comment comments:
  - Why the "Behavior for R <= 0 is indeterminate."?
    - Problem for simulators that don't like R=0
  - Instance call examples:
    - Show examples with fewer and more params
    - Show HSPICE-specific examples
    - Some with X1 and some with R1 
  - Show how it can be imlemented in a SPICE simulator in the header.

Review of Arpad's library
- Has 63 modules now
- IBIS_TCVS_PWL
  - pre-programmed waveform, but not triggered
  - IBIS_VECVS_PWL is triggered
    - trigger on both edges?
      - parameter for that, default is both
  - ToDo list
    - ECL?
      - not needed now
    - Series MOSFET would be useful because it is a 3D table
      - These are for special use, not for general 3D tables
      - The [On] [Off] state limitations make them undesirable
    - S-param?
      - would phase shift be modeled?
      - could put into LaPlace
	- simulators try to work with bad data
	- but LaPlace likely to be inconsistent
      - Do really need this yet?
        - could be useful for packages
	- but we are doing buffers for now
    - B element with scaling?
      - HSPICE handles it
      - Cadence uses it
      - Handy for buffer design
      - Still, probably more complexity than we need
- Need more modules?
  - No
- PREV_X?
  - doable in AMS
  - Cadence has used it
  - simulator-specific
  - Again, probably more complexity than we need

Someone needs to test Arpad's simulation files
- No volunteers yet
- Would like to have it tried in Spectre

We invited 10 companies, where are they?
- Should talk to them again
- What semiconductor companies?
  - Ken was going to get a list

AR: Mike will annotate library modules
