-----------------------MINUTES ---------------------------

Barry Katz chaired the meeting.

- Review of minutes for December 3, 2002
   Accepted as written.

- Announcements
              - EIA Call for Patent Disclosure
   No companies declared a patent.

- AR Review
   Adam Trombone's new address.
   Bob Ross emailed Atul requesting message list a second time.  Not
likely to get a reply.  Mike LaBonte's search on strings may be the
best we can do.  Mike searched the binary, and Bob searched the source
code.
   AR: Bob will compile the messages.
   "Stair stepping" has been rolled into documentation.

- Opens for new items
   Bob Haller: Indexing of the documents, allowing cross-referencing.

- Schedule for next meeting
   No meeting December 31.
   Meeting Jan 7th, and every two weeks after that.

- Detailed Documentation review
   Barry and Bob has prepared an index of the major sections.  This
will allow naming of documents by section, and make it easier to
cross- reference documents to the checklist.  Index posted as
iq_index.txt.
   Section 1: IBIS Quality Summary (IQ_Quality_summary.txt)
   Intent is file contains a summary of its own quality.  Each buffer
model has a quality level.  Each component has a quality level. 
Entire file has a quality level.
   Item 0: filled out some wording.  Item 1: major updates.  Item 2
and 3 mostly as they were.
   Models must be IBIS 3.2 or higher.  ibischk warnings must be
explained if they can not be eliminated.  ibischk errors must be
fixed. Require Standard load and Vmeas on drivers, Vil and Vih on
receivers for Level 0. Re-order pin and package bullets in component
section?  Package parasitics not mentioned in Level 0.  IP providers
might not know much about package parasitic values.  All package
parasitics, checked for for correctness and completeness.
   Make [Model Selector] and [Diff Pin] the 3rd and 4th bullets. 
Check for completeness and correctness.
   Models: visual inspection of C_comp value; check for model spec and
standard load parameters; ramp data validated against V-t curves;
inspect I-V and V-t curves; validate buffer switches through Vmeas
under Standard Load; and simulate buffer.  Simulate receiver, check
clamp turn-on voltage and clamping currents (need to define a test
circuit).
   Finish this document next week.  Discussion by email until then.
   Start Section 2: General File Characteristics.

- Plans for next meeting
   Documentation to review at next meeting: Section 1, Section 2.
