Hi Tom, Thanks for the information. I have tried with a prototype file and it passes the IBISCHK. The problem is that the description does not show any specific example for the multiple fork-end fork statement and I am not sure if the format of the path description is being interpreted correctly. For example if "Node" in the ebd file if used outside the fork statement it will still pass the IBISCHK parser without generating any warning due to floating node. I am trying to confirm if I use multiple fork and endfork statements the data will interpreted correctly by the EDA simulator or if I have to use a different format for example a dummy series section between every fork endfork statements to make it working properly.

Also, you can always make a prototype file and pass it by the IBIS Golden Parser. Which is a good idea whenever you create an IBIS file.

For example if the device has 4 die and from each pad bondwires are connected to one external ball is it okay to describe the path description as below? Note the last fork-endfork statement. Is it necessary that the original path needs to be continued and therefore the path description has to end with a series path?
