IBIS BIRD60 - Electrical Board Description Diagrams

To IBIS Committee:

BIRD60 documents the intended diagrams to be included in IBIS Version 3.2
in response to an editorial letter ballot comment on SP-4557 regarding
the Electrical Board Description examples.

Please review these for discussion at the Friday August 6, 1999 IBIS Meeting.

BIRD ID#: 60
ISSUE TITLE: Electrical Board Description Diagrams
REQUESTER: Bob Ross, Mentor Graphics
DATE SUBMITTED: August 4, 1999
DATE ACCEPTED BY IBIS OPEN FORUM: Pending

******************************************************************************
******************************************************************************

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE:

The need to illustrate the Electrical Board Description examples was raised
in letter ballot responses to SP-4557.

******************************************************************************

STATEMENT OF THE RESOLVED SPECIFICATIONS:

The [Path Description] keyword example is presented with added diagrams. In
the second example U23.15 is changed to U23.16.

Replace the existing example section with the revised example below:

Len = 0.5 L=8.35n C=3.34p R=0.01 /
Node u22.15
Len = 0.5 L=8.35n C=3.34p R=0.01 /

******************************************************************************

ANALYSIS PATH/DATA THAT LED TO SPECIFICATION:

Diagrams are added to clarify meanings the topologies that are represented
in the examples associated with the [Path Description] keyword of the EBD.
A duplicate pin number is corrected that could lead to a misinterpretation.
Two different paths were connected to U23.15. The second path was changed
so that it connected to U23.16. If this were not corrected the set of
examples might imply a contination of the path, if they were to have been
for the same board.

ANY OTHER BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

This is in response a letter ballot comment submitted in June, 1999 on
SP-4557 for EIA ratification of Version 3.2 by Cisco Systems:

Cisco Systems: 4
Editorial
Reference: Page 69
Suggested Change: Need a diagram clarification of parameters used.
