Hello Bob Thanks for your replies. It is still not clear. What is the connection between BIRD95 and [Pin Mapping]. As far as I understand BIRD95 describe the current profile of the buffer when switching while [Pin Mapping] describe the connectivity of the buffers to each power rail and also include package parasitic. Please elaborate. -- Regards Itzik Peleg Board Technology Group *********************************************************** Please Note: email address change to: itzikpe@marvell.com *********************************************************** Marvell Semiconductor Israel Ltd 6 Ha'mada St. Industrial Area P.O.Box 692 Yokneam 20692 ISRAEL Email - itzikpe@marvell.com Tel - +972 4 9091192 Cell - +972 54 4452482 Fax - +972 4 9091501 WWW Page: http://www.marvell.com ======================================================================== This message may contain confidential, proprietary or legally privileged information.

Hello Itzik: Thank you for your comments. We agree and will add the time correlation information to the next revision. Also, thank you for indicating that the two paragraphs were not clear. We will also have to fix that. To answer briefly your questions: (1) The [Pin Mapping] keyword is specifically mentioned as the assumed method to tell the tool which pins are used for the power and ground connections for each buffer. (2) The second statement is more of a cautionary note to describe what the [Composite Current] was NOT designed to consider. The various [Submodel]s document the approximate behavior of some additional elements that could exist in the I/O buffer architecture. These elements are "triggered" by voltage crossings in the actual circuit. This triggering is not correlated with any [Composite Current] contributions that might exist from test *_fixture loads. To a lessor extent, the same applies to [Driver Schedule] models which get triggered by time delays. For some keyword structural reasons which I do not want to describe in this response, the additional currents for each submodel may not accurately be allocated to the major power rail. So a cautionary note is needed to state conditions where the [Composite Current] keyword may not apply.
