Review of ARs:

AR: Mike will annotate library modules

-------------

Review of macro library comments
- What are I0_1 and I0_2 for?
  - Set initial currents
- Comments should discuss current directions.
- Change ps and ns to sp and sn
- Note the default values.
- Note that xCC is charge conserving, xCL is flux conserving.
- IBIS_K needs to use Scale in M calculation.
- IBIS_VCVS has cut&paste error.
- Consistent descriptions for Scale. Don't say "convert".
- Don't say "ideal" short circuit.
- DELAY modules do not have Scale for TD.
  - Leave it that way

AR: Mike fold review comments into macro library

Who can we get to try this?
- Ken will send suggestions on problems found implementing
  some of the modules.
  - simulator-specific problems
- Which tool companies will be implementing this?
  - SiSoft has a proprietary simulator in Quantum SI
  - Sigrity?

AR: Ken will reconstruct list of interested customers.

Arpad is writing VHDL implemetation of macro library
- Up to ideal tlines

Do we have any templates written using our library?
- No, but Arpad has something he can rewrite
- Syed Huq helping a vendor write an AMS model
- Need both macros and templates to hand to chip companies
- Ken has 2-tap, 4-tap, RCVR EQ, EQ&AMP
  - Ken can do the simple Rcvr
  - Mike could do EQ Rcvr
    - using HSPICE, SPECTRE, ???
    - Need to resolve license issues
  - Arpad can write 2-tap template

AR: Arpad write 2-tap driver template
AR: Ken write simple receiver template
AR: Mike write EQ receiver template
AR: Arpad will resend Cadence DML templates

What is the latest library?
- Start with the most recent zip kit, overlay latest IBIS_macro_library.va

Arpad has done a great job!
