INTRODUCTIONS AND MEETING QUORUM
No new participants.


MEMBERSHIP UPDATE AND TREASURER'S REPORT
Bob Ross has already announced that Via Technologies and Nortel Networks have
joined making the total IBIS Open Forum Membership at 32.  All members have
now paid.  Because the most recent members joined late in 1999, we will
probably carry their membership through year 2000 and issue invoices only for
differences in dues, if any.


REVIEW OF MINUTES AND AR'S
The October 1, 1999 IBIS Open Forum Meeting and October 14, 1999 IBIS Summit
Meeting minutes were approved without change.

Other AR's will be discussed during the meeting.


MISCELLANY/ANNOUNCEMENTS
None.


PRESS AND WEB PAGE UPDATES
Bob Ross reported that Syed Huq made some more Roster page updates and Guy
de Burgh has been tracking down the final membership names.  The last report
indicated that information is still needed from three member companies.

Bob noted that a show link has been added for show literature on conferences
we participate in at:

INTERNATIONAL/EXTERNAL PROGRESS
- IEC 62014-1 (IBIS Version 3.2) - Cecilia Fleming reported that progress is
continuing, but IEC has decided to substitute Version 3.2.  Bob Ross commented
that a copyright issue between EIA and IEC was favorably resolved so that EIA
(and the IBIS Open Forum) retains the copyright to control and modify the
document.  Cecilia stated that she expects IEC 62014-1 to be officially
ratified within a few months.

- pr EIAJ ED-5302 Standard for I/O Interface Model for Integrated Circuits
(IMIC) - Bob Ross reported that a Version 1.2 has been posted for review by
December 25, 1999.  The link to this document can be found on the Specs page
of the EIA IBIS home page.

- IEC PWI 93-1 Models of Integratd Circuits for EMI Behavioral Simulation
(formerly designated as IEC 93/67/NP IBIS and EMC Simulation) - Bob Ross
had no report.

- JC-16.2 Subcommittee: Modeling and Test - Bob Ross had no report.


IBIS SUMMIT OCTOBER 14, 1999 REVIEW
Bob Ross felt that we had a successful IBIS Summit Meeting on October 14, 1999
with good interaction.  We unintentionally scheduled the meeting on the last
day of the PCB Conference East trade show, and several participants had to
leave early (or could not attend).  This was due the the trade show being
unexpectedly shifted by one day to avoid Columbus day holiday rates for setup
costs.

Bob noted that we are planning to hold the next East Coast IBIS Summit Meeting
on Thursday, September 14, 1999, possibly at Worchester, Massachusetts where
the PCB Conference East is being held.  We believe this is a non-trade show
day.


FUTURE IBIS SUMMITS
Bob Ross noted that the DesignCon2000 IBIS Summit Meeting is being planned
for Monday, January 31, 1999 in Santa Clara, California.  Jon Powell will be
coordinating the trade show IBIS booth arrangements.  National Semiconductor
will sponsor the lunch, and DesignCon2000 will sponsor (fund) the meeting
room and other refreshments.  This is the normal arrangement because the IBIS
Open Forum is officially an Associate Sponsor of DesignCon2000.

Bob noted the he had sent out a DesignCon2000 invitation note to register
early.  October 31, 1999 was the last day for discounts.  However, employees
of any of the 32 member companies will also get discounts to the DesignCon2000
Conference.  Returning attendees will get the best discount (20%) to the
Conference.  As noted earlier, the DesignCon2000 advance registration
brochure can be accessed from the IBIS home page Upcoming Events link.

Bob stated that the IBIS Summit Meeting at Date2000 in Paris, France is being
planned on Friday, March 31, 1999 from the morning through early afternoon.
This will accommodate European participants to return home on Friday.  So far
Incases and Mentor Graphics are co-sponsors, but we are seeking other
co-sponsors.


S2IBIS3 COMMITTEE REPORT
Michael Cohen reported on meetings held on October 21, 1999 and October 28,
1999.  He stated that teleconference meetings are now being held every
Thursday.  Work is continuing on a requirements specification.  Michael expects
that it will be made available by the end of the year.


IBIS DUES AND FUNDING
Bob opened the discussion on IBIS Funding and dues by giving some background
information.  The IBIS Open Forum membership currently costs $500 per year.
Actual expenses were much less than the money received and we would just
leave the remaining money with EIA to cover the administrative overhead and
expenses for the services provided.  The EIA accounting system has never
provided the EIA IBIS Open Forum meaningful information about actual expenses
or income.  However, EIA has now improved the accounting and reporting system
and now able to track income and expenses better.

Based on reasonable allocations for EIA services, we can now allocate some
reasonable costs for direct EIA support (part of Cecilia Fleming and staff)
and other EIA services for legal, accounting, international representation,
etc.

Bob gave a projected Year 2000 budget that was sent out to the IBIS reflector
(and is included in the Minutes below).  Bob explained some to the items.
The income is based on an estimated 30 members, at $500 per year.  The Other
Income is an estimation of the royalties to the IBIS Open Forum for Global
Engineering Standards sales (before, we hand no record of this).  The
Travel & Entertainment expense and Meetings and Conference Expense are for the
IBIS Summit Meeting held in June and associated with the Design Automation
Conference.  Unlike other Summit Meetings, this IBIS Summit Meeting is
supported directly by the EIA IBIS dues.  Cecilia noted that EIA appears to
be comfortable with the expense allocations in the Budget.  However, the
formal EIA discussion on total budget issues was deferred until December 1999.
Bob also felt that the allocations were very reasonable for the services
provided and for the official national recognition we have achieved that
could only be obtained through affiliation with an organization such as EIA.
We still continue to self-fund a number of activities (other IBIS Summits,
teleconference calls) and special projects (such as ibischk3 development.)
through additional contributions.

Projected Loss                  3,710

-------

Bob noted that the proposed budget projects a loss.  We have already discussed
this topic at the October 1, 1999 meeting and felt comfortable with a modest
dues increase.  Unlike previous years, a key difference in Year 2000 and 
beyond is that we will retain and carry over any profits in the IBIS account.
(Up to now, it has been a "use it or lose it" arrangement.)

Bob suggested we consider a dues increase to either $750 (break even) or $1000
(modest profit to fund some of the activities).  Bob Haller commented on the
fact that in several companies, a $1000 expense is the amount where more
internal signatures are needed - causing more difficulty in authorizing the
expenditure.  After further discussion it was agreed that we will propose to
the year 2000 dues to $750.

Bob then indicated that based on the original IBIS Charter created when 
IBIS became part of EIA, dues increases require a vote of two-thirds of the
members.  In our case this would now be 21 members.  This is more stringent
than official EIA approval guidelines (approval by three forths of a margin
from votes cast by a majority of members (3/4 of 17, or 13).  Or we could 
require just a simple majority of members (17).  In any case, since this is
an issue regarding financial commitment, we need this proposal to be
voted on and approved by a substantial part of the IBIS Open Forum Member
Companies.

Michael Cohen asked about the resolution of the discussion of IBIS Bylaws with
EIA per the June 21, 1999 IBIS meeting.  Bob noted that we plan to use the
"escape clause" mechanism (noted in the October 1, 1999 Meeting Minutes) that
support alternative modes of operation that already exist.  Much of the
EP-20 bylaw guidelines would substantially change the way we operate.  The
guidelines do not work well with our mode of operation of conducting
frequent teleconference meetings and using public e-mail reflectors for
conducting discussions.  So we plan to comply by not changing our current
mode of operation.  

After some more discussion Bob indicated that we will do our balloting on
the proposed membership fee increase by polling the Member companies (primary
and secondary representatives) by e-mail.  We want to achieve a significant
consensus - probably 17 to 21 votes as an indication of approval.  Guy
de Burgh will send out and tabulate the ballots.  The deadline for e-mail
vote will be November 18, 1999, just prior to the next IBIS teleconference
meeting.

Bob conducted a roll-call vote and we already recorded 8 affirmative votes
and no negative votes on raising the IBIS Membership dues to $750 per year.

AR - Guy de Burgh create a letter ballot to e-mail to members on dues
increase to $750 and send it out to the IBIS Member companies. [Done]


NEW IBIS OFFICER POSITIONS
Bob Ross also indicated that creating new IBIS Officer positions is
technically a Charter change requiring a similar consensus as above.  So
we will also send out a letter ballot for the new Postmaster position (already
staffed by Matthew Flora) and the Webmaster position (already staffed by
Syed Huq), as a formality.  The four existing and two new positions are
listed for reference:

COOKBOOK STATUS
Stephen Peters had no report.


IBIS MODEL REVIEW COMMITTEE DISCUSSION
Matthew Flora reported that he recently sent out for review a model from
Cimaron (an AMCC company).

(Added after the meeting - Matthew also sent out earlier a model of a series
switch from Fairchild Semiconductor for review.)

Matthew Flora is looking for some more EDA companies to review models.  (He
has five so far and needs a replacement name for one of the companies.)

Ross Pryor voluteered to help, but Bob Ross explained that the Model 
Review Committee is composed of EDA simulator vendors so that the review
process could actually include simulation in a variety of simulators.   It
also would not have one semiconductor vendor review the models from another
semiconductor vendor - a potentially sensitive issue for some vendors.  (Bob
thanked Ross for volunteering and hopes he will help in another area.)

Bob and Matthew will work off line on getting some new Model Review Committee
members.


IBISCHK3 BUG REPORT STATUS
Matthew Flora indicated that he just issued an updated BUG34 in compliance 
with the AR for specific suggestions on the conditions where Warning
Messages should be issued.  Since updated BUG34 has just been issued, Matthew
wanted to defer the discussion to the next meeting

AR - Matthew Flora issue a revised BUG34 to document the conditions where
Warning messages are issued [Done].


CONNECTOR PROPOSAL STATUS
Because Gus Panella needed to leave early, we moved the Connector Proposal
Status discussion as the next discussion item.

Bob Ross briefly summarized that since introduction of the Connector
Specification proposal at the February 1, 1999 IBIS Summit Meeting, there
has been no IBIS Open Forum action.  The IBIS Open Forum was heavily involved
in formal closure and ratification of IBIS Version 3.2.  Since the Connector
Specification was proposed as a separate document, it did not need to be
considered while IBIS Version 3.2 was being considered.  However, related
documents have been uploaded under:

  http://www.eda.org/pub/ibis/connector/

Gus Panella stated that there have been a few review comments.  They have
been incorporated into a revised version.  One of the main comments dealt with
defining and describing the matrix.

Bob Haller asked whether cables are supported.  Gus stated that the intention
was to focus on just connectors.  Bob Ross stated that he thought that using
it for modeling cables was valid.  However, the first release of the
document does not include frequency dependent losses or skin effect losses.
One of the other issues to consider is whether the format can be applied to
the existing package model format.

Bob Haller also asked about some other changes, and Gus reponded that the
suggestions have been implemented in unreleased updates.

Bob Ross suggested that we now plan Connector Specification discussion as
an actual Agenda item.  Gus indicated that he can participate in the next
teleconference meeting.  A new document may be available by that time.  We
need to look at it from a full Committee and broader EDA Vendor perspective
to discover any implementation and usage issues.


BIRD61 - ENHANCED CHARACTERIZATION OF RECEIVERS
BIRD62 - ENHANCED CHARACTERIZATION OF RECEIVER THRESHOLDS (discussed First)
BIRD63 - DOCUMENTATION OF RECEIVER SETUP AND HOLD TIMING CONDITIONS
Stephen Peters reported no further progress on BIRD61, BIRD62 and BIRD63.
We are still waiting for some possible behavioral input modeling proposals
for BIRD61.  Bob Ross indicated that there has been plenty of reflector
discussion on BIRD61, and some general issues remain unresolved.  There also
may be some syntax detail issues regarding BIRD62 and BIRD63.  However, the
general concepts seem to be acceptable.  All of these BIRDs need to be
considered in the context of some alternative ideas for future extensions of
IBIS that are now being discussed.


BIRD64 - PACKAGE MODEL SELECTOR
Arpad Muranyi introduced BIRD64 to deal with the fact that some components
need several package models for analysis.  A primary application would be to
issue min and max package models to support corner analysis.  Several people
have already issued comments on the IBIS reflector.  Most comments provide
syntax variations but support the same functionality.  Arpad initially
started with formatting the [Package Model Selector] keyword similar to the
[Model Selector] keyword format.  However, he decided on a more simple
approach that was not exactly compatible.  Bob Ross commented that [Model
Selector] was designed to simultaneously change the I/O buffer model for
several pins, whereas the [Package Model Selector] would change the package
model for just one [Component].  Stephen Peters stated that he supported the
simpler approach.

Arpad thought that the choice of format depended on what would be best for
a GUI (or for automated processing).

Bob summarized some choices available including those suggested on the IBIS
reflector:

  1.  Do nothing.  We already support different package configurations.  
      This support requires issuing a different [Component] model for each
      package configuration.  If we are dealing with only two or three
      variations, this may be acceptable.
  2.  [Package Model Selector] as in BIRD64 where the selection choices
      replace the [Package Model] keyword.
  3.  [Package Mode Selector] at higher level, similar to [Model Selector],
      where [Package Model] references the [Package Model Selector] by name,
      which in turn references the list of package models.
  4.  Extend [Package Model] from one call into a typ-min-max format rather
      than using [Package Model Selector].

We ended the discussion in order to move on to other Agenda items.


BIRD65 - C_comp REFINEMENTS
Arpad Muranyi also introduced BIRD65.  BIRD65 provides detail by documenting
how portions of C_comp can be connected the various power rails.

Michael Cohen stated that the nomenclature was not clear.  For example he did
not realize that C_comp_pu was the portion of C_comp connected to the [Pullup
Reference Voltage].  The overview definition is given in the introductory
information, but is not stated in the actual replacement text proposed by
BIRD65.  Arpad stated that he clarify the C_comp elements in the proposed
text.

Bob Ross indicated that BIRD65 was proposed to support more accurate ground
and power bounce analysis.  The basic idea is seems sound.  However, we may
need to consider it in the context of some other alternative proposals that
may accomplish the same objective.

Arpad closed by noting that he is looking for IBIS reflector comments about
the possibility of adding capacitance as a function of voltage tables.


APPLICATION PROGRAM INTERFACE (API) DISCUSSION
In the remaining time, Stephen Peters discussed the intent of the API.  He
stated that new device technologies and functions in devices often require
new IBIS keywords and take time to be approved.  In the mean time the 
actual structural model (such as a Spice model) could be used, but issue
rapidly to support EDA Vendors.  To prevent revealing intellectual property
details, such a model could be issued as part of some executable code. 

Stephen stated that he has initiated a proposal to describe the interface to
such an API.  The major extension are to also include ground and power ports
for some more detailed analysis.  With a standardized interface, models
could be issued in a timely manner as part of an executable.  The draft
proposal is currently being review internally.  It does have implications
concerning an evolution of IBIS and is temporarily designated as "IBIS-X".
Stephen expects the proposal to be issued on the IBIS reflector early next
week (week of November 1, 1999). 


NEXT MEETING:
The next teleconference meeting will be on Friday, November 19, 1999 from
8:00 AM to 10:00 AM.

Dear Gentleman ,

I have some doubts about the C_comp value inside the IBIS model.
I hope you can help me.

I read this definition inside the IBIS spec :

C_comp defines the silicon Die capacitance ..


but I did not understand well.
 This is the value I  obtain from a parasitic extraction from layout   
or it is
the input or output capacitance I can
read inside my  chip Spec ?

 Thank you in advance for your help ,      Your Sincerelly

Hi Sir,

  There are some questions for the motorola's ibis model of mpc860, hope

you can help me.
  I simulated my design using above ibis model by signoise of cadence,
and found:

1. The  pullup voltage range of this model is -10V to 5V,  do think it
is right?
If not, would you please to tell me how to modify it ?
2. The receiver simulation waveform have overshoot at the falling and
undershoot at the rising  when the I_O1 or I_O2 buffer of mpc860 is a
driver. I think the waveform is not correct, do you think so?
3. If remove the rising waveform and falling waveform parameter from the

model, the clamp have only the dv/dt, simulated the same net again, the
receiver waveform don't have the overshoot at the falling and undershoot

at rising, but the high level of receiver waveform is not 3.3V, it is
2.6V. Maybe it also is not right. I want to know how modify the model
parameter to increase the high level to 3.3V?

Atteched file is ibis model of mpc860, hope you can help me to check it
and tell me why,  and hope you can tell me how to check a ibis model
accuracy .
thanks a lot.

Best Regareds,

Stephen and other "IBISians"

For what it is worth....  When I initially started with the IBISCnn
specification (IBISCnn = IBIS Connector Specification)....  I really tried to
incorporate a nodal methods. And, for what it is worth,  I still think it would
be a powerful addition.  However, at the time  (and maybe still) there seemed to
be a lot of resistance to incorporating a "SPICE deck like approach" in the IBIS
specification.


Further,  I really like the inclusion of the PWR/GND  (or maybe more
specifically, current return path) references.  For what it is worth, these have
been included in the IBISCnn specification (soon to be available for your
critical reviews).  As such, after IBISCnn is available,  I would greatly
appreciate your comments.


If it would help the group, I would also suggest that the IBISCnn RLCs
interconnection metodology may address Stephans: "package model consisting of a
network of R/L/Cs (a SPICE like description). Therefore, the IBIS-X proposal
allows the guts of a model to be a nodal network consisting of passive
components".

As such, maybe it may also be possible to represent " some basic independent and
dependent sources"  in the same "matrix" format.

Also, it is important to know that the IBISCnn specification does incorporate
"NO GROUND" models.  Unfortunately, this functionality is lost if a simulator
insists on having "perfect ground" reference points on both sides of a
connector.


Best Regards,
_gus

Hello All:

  At the recent IBIS summit there was a fair amount of discussion regarding
the future of IBIS.  Among the issues the IBIS community has been wrestling
with are:
1. the growth in complexity of the specification, 
2. support for power/gnd and return path modeling
3. receiver modeling, and 
4. the need for a general escape mechanism that allows simulators to 
incorporate user created models (models that the simulator may not otherwise 
support).

  So far, there has been a proposal for incorporating an API (application
programming interface) into IBIS, which addresses point four above.  However, 
to fully support an API I belive that the current IBIS description would have 
to change.  Specifically, models would have to become multi-ported
entities with explicit power and ground ports tied to component pins.  In 
fact, I belive to in order to fully address the problems of complexity 
(added keywords for every new type of buffer) and return path modeling there
needs to be a new, general buffer description language, one that supports IBIS
type simulators but also allows a model to be used directly by a circuit
simulator.  To that end I'm making a proposal called IBIS-X.  I am aware that
this is a fairly radical proposal (for example, it is not backwards compatible
with the existing IBIS specification), but I belive it does address directly
both the needs of those producing models as well as those designing high 
speed electrical interconnects.

Please look it over and make your comments.  This will be on the agenda at
the next IBIS phone conference.

-----------  cut here -----------

  The following is a proposal for a new format to be used for creating and
specifying I/O buffer models.  This format is an evolution of the current
IBIS description, and provides a couple of fundamental enhancements when
compared with the current specification.  Specifically:
  a) IBIS-X provides for much greater flexibility in model descriptions.
Buffers can be described using either the traditional IBIS prototype model
or the user may create their own buffer model by using a set of passive and
behavioral elements connected together nodally.  Nodal descriptions provide
a direct path into circuit simulators, and nodal descriptions are also used
to build arbitrary package models around a buffer.
  b) IBIS-X provides support for return path modeling.  Component power and
gnd pins are connected directly to a model instance, thus allowing true
system level simulations that incorporate board decoupling effects, ground
return effects, etc.
  c) The IBIS-X proposal provides the necessary hooks that enable
simulators to incorporate an external models thru an API.



IBIS-X COMPARED TO IBIS
  As with the original IBIS specification, the IBIS-X description is
targeted towards transmission line and board level SI simulators.  To this
end IBIS-X sticks with the "component centric" format -- each pin of a
component is listed, and pins are attached to a model witch can be used
over and over again.  Furthermore, each pin (model) is explicitly declared
as a driver or receiver and each model contains the 'data book' information
(timing test loads, Vinh/Vinl, etc.) that allows for automatic SI and
flight time analysis.  The biggest difference is that the IBIS-X
description allows a buffer/receiver model to connect not just to an I/O
pin, but also to power/gnd pin(s).  It does this by making the [Model] a
multi-port entity.  By allowing a model to have explicit power ports a
circuit type simulator (or an enhanced behavioral simulator) can modulate 
the power and ground rails of a behavioral model, thus incorporating the
effects of board level power distribution (including ground return paths)
into a simulation (i.e. enables true system level simulation).

  As mentioned above, the IBIS-X spec allows the model maker a choice of
descriptions. Model makers should be able to model a driver or receiver to
the level of detail required and/or appropriate.  Traditional I/V,V/T
descriptions are still very useful and the IBIS-X proposal fully supports a
pure behavioral description of an driver or receiver.  In other cases, the
user may want to model a buffer behaviorally, but surround the buffer with
a package model consisting of a network of R/L/Cs (a SPICE like
description). Therefore, the IBIS-X proposal allows the guts of a model to
be a nodal network consisting of passive components, some basic independent
and dependent sources, and submodels.  In turn, a submodel can consist of
behavioral descriptions, nodal networks, more submodels, or a coupling
matrix (used to describe pin coupling).  By using a approach based on nodal
description and submodels, it should be straightforward to incorporate a
package model around a buffer, or to group buffers together to simulation
SSO effects, etc.


 Finally, the IBIS-X proposal prepares the way for a behavioral simulator
to execute transistor level models by allowing a model or submodel to call
an external model which is executed via an API.  I should point out that
adding an API to the existing IBIS specification is possible, but to make
it useful there still needs to be some mechanism to define/declare a
multi-port model and associate those ports with the various [Voltage]
keywords of the current spec and the pins of the component.


========= Details, and a shot at syntax ==============

FILE HEADER 
The file header info remains pretty much the same as in
the current IBIS spec.

[Template Version]   version #
[Comment Char]       | by default
[File Name]          file name.ibx

[Copyright]          ASCII text 


COMPONENT SECTION
The major function of the component section is to map the component pins
to a model.  However, instead of calling out just a model the [Pin] keyword
connects pins to a specific port on a model.  The [Model Selector]
functionality is retained, along with the [Diff Pin] keyword. However, the
[Diff Pin] keywords function has been changed to list only skew between
differential outputs only. (Note: To aid parsing each "section" of the spec
begins with a [Begin "Section Name"] keyword and ends with an [End "Section
Name"] keyword.


[Begin Component]
[Component]          component name
[Manufacture]        manufactures name
[Pin]
pin_name  signal_name  model_name  port_name  R_pin  L_pin  C_pin 
(Note: only a *model_name* is allowed, not a submodel name.  To support
IBIS compatible descriptions NC, PWR and GND are legal pin connections, and
a generic R_pin, L_pin and C_pin can be included.)


[Diff Pin]
inverting_pin  non_inverting   skew_typ  skew_typ  skew_max

[Model Selector]
[End Component]



MODEL SECTION
The purpose of the model section is to identify the top model type (input,
output, bidir, etc.), list the data book specs that support SI simulators
and board level timing products (timing test loads, input parameters,
etc.), define the ports of the model and finally, provide a place to put
the guts of a model.

[Begin Model]           model_name
model_type =            select from list
C_comp* =               I/O capacitance value
[Temperature_Range]     typ min max 
[Pullup Reference]      typ min max
[Pulldown Reference]    typ min max
[POWER Clamp Reference] typ min max
[GND Clamp Reference]   typ min max
[Receiver Reference]    type min max
  (The voltage range keywords are used a bit differently than in IBIS.
These keywords indicate the voltage at the associated model port. For a
traditional behavioral simulator these value still end up being the
references for the I/V curves.  For an IBIS-X simulator they would be a
fixed voltage at the pins, and a structural description can be used to put
a package model in between the pin (port) and the buffer model itself.  For
a pure SPICE simulator (where the board level power distribution is
modeled) these keywords serve mostly as documentation.)
[Driver Spec]
  (timing test loads, Vmeas, etc.  Use if a model is an output or I/O)
[Receiver Spec]
  (input thresholds, overshoot/undershoot thresholds, etc. Use if a model 
   is a receiver or I/O) 
[Port list] 
port_name port_type
  (port types are: 
      primary_io   | primary I/O pin
      pullup_ref   | power connection pin

      pwrclamp_ref | power connection pin
      gndclamp_ref | power connection pin
      rcvr_ref     | power connection pin
      gnd          | reference pin
      ctl          | a digital (1/0) control pin
      analog       | an analog control pin
      stim_in      | external stimulus (not a component pin)
      recevier_out | output of a receiver (not a component pin)
   )
[Begin Model Description]
description_type =  behavioral | structural 

  (put the guts of the model here)

[End Model Description]
[End Model]

MODEL DESCRIPTIONS 
  A model can be described in one of three forms: A conventional behavioral
(IBIS) description, a nodal description that interconnects submodels and
passive components, or a call to an external file.


For a traditional IBIS description, the following keywords are supported 
(initial list).
[Pullup]/[Pulldown]/[POWER Clamp]/[GND Clamp]
[Rising Waveform]/[Falling Waveform]
[Ramp]
[TTgnd]/[TTpower]
[Driver Schedule]  (replace by IBIS submodel mechanism?)
[Add Submodel]
[SubModel]

   (Note: The keywords that support series switches, series devices, or
terminator networks have not been included.  Given that these devices are
adequately supported in IBIS, or could be described using a circuit
description, I have not included them in the initial list.)


A nodal description connects passive components, submodels and independent
voltage and current sources together.  Transistors are not supported, but 
a general three terminal device is included.  Syntax would be some most
common denominator of the existing SPICE variants.

Rxxx  node1  node2    value= explicit value or equation  (resistance)
Lxxx  node1  node2    value= explicit value or equation  (inductance)
Cxxx  node1  node2    value= explicit value or equation  (capacitance)
Vxxx  node1  node2    value= explicit value, equation or table  (V source)
Ixxx  node1  node2    value= explicit value, equation or table  (I source)
Sxxx  node1  node2 node3 value = equation or table(s) (three terminal device)
Xxxx  port1=>node1, port2=>node2, ...parameter1=>value,... (submodel)

Finally, the guts of a model (or a submodel in a nodal or IBIS description)
could be a call to an externally defined model that the simulator executes
via an API (applications programming interface).  The syntax of the call
has yet to be worked out, but one would expect something like

Xxxx port1=>node1, port2=>port2,... parameter1=>"path to model file", ...)

One question that has been puzzling me is the mechanism used to apply
stimulus to the external model. Does the simulator simply flip the stim_in
node from '0' to '1', or does the user have to attach an explicit stimulus
source?  


SUBMODELS
Submodels are used both by behavioral descriptions ([Submodel] statements)
and nodal descriptions (Xxxx calls).  Submodels are a lot like top level
[Models], but they do not include any of the top level simulation
information nor can they connect directly to a component pin.  Again,
behavioral, structural and calls to external models are supported.  In
addition, a submodel can support a matrix type description of a passive
network.


[Begin Submodel]  submodel_name
description_type = behavioral | structural | matrix
[Port List]
  (port name, but do we need a description??)

  (put description of submodel here)

[End Submodel]

[End]

Hi IBIS fans,

  The IBIS connector sub-group today completed work
on the final draft of the connector specification V0.92.

I forwarded the specification along with a changes document
to Syed to have it placed on the IBIS web site.

  Please accept this email as the official notification from
the connector sub-group to the IBIS open forum that we are
releasing the connector specification to you.

 I chose not to send the entire specification to the whole
IBIS group as it is around 1600 lines long.  It should be
available to the general public as soon as Syed can get it
put on the web site.

NOTICE: This is not a released specification!  This version is
the release from the sub-group to the full group.

What remains to be done:

1) Full open forum must comment and changes if any included
   in the document.
2) It must be voted on and approved by the open forum.
3) A Golden parser must be written to insure that models developed
   have no syntax errors.  Along with this development the existing
   golden example models provided by the connector sub group must be 
   improved to comply with the current specification.
4) Existing connector model creation and simulation methods should 
   be enhanced to support the new IBIS connector format.  
   This might effect connector manufacturers as well as CAE tool suppliers.

This is the end of a nearly 2 year project for the people involved.
I know many of you will not be 100% happy with
the result but please don't forget that we are a large group and
must forge a result that is acceptable to the majority.
Also consider that this specification is long over due and it is the
2nd attempt by the IBIS group to create a connector specification.
So please be gentle in your criticism ....

Please direct your comments to the normal IBIS reflector
both Gus and I will be watching for your questions
and will do our best to answer them.

best wishes...

BIRD ID#:       66
ISSUE TITLE:    [Model Spec] Vref Addition
REQUESTER:      Scott McMorrow, SiQual
DATE SUBMITTED: November 15, 1999
DATE ACCEPTED BY IBIS OPEN FORUM: Pending

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

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE:

Vref may need to be different for min and max columns.

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

STATEMENT OF THE RESOLVED SPECIFICATIONS:

Changes and additions to the [Model Spec] keyword are shown by the |* lines
to add Vref with typ-min-max values:


|=============================================================================
|     Keyword:  [Model Spec]
|    Required:  No
|  Sub-Params:  Vinh, Vinl, Vinh+, Vinh-, Vinl+, Vinl-, S_overshoot_high,
|               S_overshoot_low, D_overshoot_high, D_overshoot_low,
|               D_overshoot_time, Pulse_high, Pulse_low, Pulse_time, Vmeas
|*             Vref
| Description:  The [Model Spec] keyword defines four columns under which
|               specification subparameters are defined.
|
|               The following subparameters are defined:
|               Vinh               Input voltage threshold high
|               Vinl               Input voltage threshold low
|               Vinh+              Hysteresis threshold high max Vt+
|               Vinh-              Hysteresis threshold high min Vt+
|               Vinl+              Hysteresis threshold low max Vt-
|               Vinl-              Hysteresis threshold low min Vt-
|               S_overshoot_high   Static overshoot high voltage
|               S_overshoot_low    Static overshoot low voltage
|               D_overshoot_high   Dynamic overshoot high voltage
|               D_overshoot_low    Dynamic overshoot low voltage
|               D_overshoot_time   Dynamic overshoot time
|               Pulse_high         Pulse immunity high voltage
|               Pulse_low          Pulse immunity low voltage
|               Pulse_time         Pulse immunity time
|
|               Vmeas              Measurement voltage for timing measurements
|*               Vref                  Timing specification test load voltage
|
| Usage Rules:  [Model Spec] must follow all other subparameters under the
|               [Model] keyword.
|
|               For each subparameter contained in the first column, the
|               remaining three hold its typical, minimum and maximum values.
|               The entries of typical, minimum and maximum be must be placed
|               on a single line and must be separated by at least one white
|               space or tab character.  All four columns are required under
|               the [Model Spec] keyword.  However, data is required only in
|               the typical column.  If minimum and/or maximum values are not
|               available, the reserved word "NA" must be used indicating the
|               typical value by default.
|
|               The minimum and maximum values are used for specifications
|               subparameter values that may track the min and max operation
|               conditions of the [Model].  Usually it is related to the
|               Voltage Range settings.
|
|               Unless noted below, each subparameter does not require having
|               any other subparameter.
|
|               Vinh, Vinl rules:
|
|               The threshold subparameter lines provide additional min and
|               max column values, if needed.  The typ column values are still
|               required and would be expected to override the Vinh and Vinl
|               subparameter values specified elsewhere.  Note: the syntax
|               rule that require inserting Vinh and Vinl under models remains
|               unchanged even if the values are defined under the [Model
|               Spec] keyword.
|
|               To mimic a hysteresis effect, the values of Vinh and Vinl may
|               be interchanged such that the Vinl value is larger than the
|               Vinh value.  However, simulators may process this information
|               differently or report an error.
|
|               Vinh+, Vinh-, Vinl+, Vinl- rules:
|
|               The four hysteresis subparmeters must all be defined before
|               the hysteresis threshold rules become effective.  Otherwise
|               the standard threshold subparameters remain in effect.  The
|               hysteresis thresholds shall be at the Vinh+ and Vinh- values
|               for a low-to-high transition, and at the Vinl+ and Vinl-
|               values for a high-to-low transition.
|
|               S_overshoot_high, S_overshoot_low rules:
|
|               The static overshoot subparameters provide the voltage values
|               for which the model is no longer guaranteed to function
|               correctly.
|
|               D_overshoot_high, D_overshoot_low, D_overshoot_time rules:
|
|               The dynamic overshoot values provide a time window during
|               which the overshoot may exceed the static overshoot limits
|               but be below the dynamic overshoot limits.  D_overshoot_time
|               is required for dynamic overshoot testing.  In addition, if
|               D_overshoot_high is specified, then S_overshoot_high is
|               necessary for testing beyond the static limit.  Similarly, if
|               D_overshoot_low is specified, then S_overshoot_low is
|               necessary for testing beyond the static limit.
|
|               Pulse_high, Pulse_low, Pulse_time rules:
|
|               The pulse immunity values provide a time window during which
|               a rising pulse may exceed the nearest threshold value but
|               be below the pulse voltage value and still not cause the
|               input to switch.  Pulse_time is required for pulse immunity
|               testing.  A rising response is tested only if Pulse_high is
|               specified.  Similarly, a falling response is tested only if
|               Pulse_low is specified.  The rising response may exceed the
|               Vinl value, but remain below the Pulse_high value.
|               Similarly, the falling response may drop below the Vinh value,
|               but remain above the Pulse_low value.  In either case the
|               input is regarded as immune to switching if the responses
|               are within these extended windows.  If the hysteresis
|               thresholds are defined, then the rising response shall use
|               Vinh- as the reference voltage, and the falling response shall
|               use Vinl+ as the reference voltage.
|
|              Vmeas rules:
|
|              The Vmeas values under the [Model Spec] keyword override the
|              Vmeas entry elsewhere.
|*
|*             Vref rules:
|*             The Vref values under the [Model Spec] keyword override the
|*             Vref entry elsewhere

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

ANALYSIS PATH/DATA THAT LED TO SPECIFICATION:

BIRDxx is issued because the Timing specification test load voltage
value Vref defined under the [Model] keyword changes with the Vcc
reference voltage for some technologies (such as SSTL-2) when used
for the min or max column.  This will cause incorrect timing test load
corrections to be created for the min and max corners.

Adding Vref to the [Model Spec] section is necessary to correctly
simulate output timing and skew across the entire process range.
A simple typical Vref value, as is currently used, will cause some
simulators to report incorrect delay due to improper measurement
of the output timing parameters.

Device output timing specifications for SSTL-2 for DDR devices
are guaranteed into the following standard load for the typical
case:

Cref = 30.000000pF
Vref = 1.50000V
Rref = 50.000000

For the minimum case:

Cref = 30.000000pF
Vref = 1.15000V
Rref = 50.000000

For the maximum case:

Cref = 30.000000pF
Vref = 1.35000V
Rref = 50.000000

It is impossible to correlate device output performance to
only a typical test load with the current method.  This enhancement
to the [Model Spec] was incorrectly excluded from the previous
BIRD 55.

The inclusion of a simple timing measurement threshold region
should also be considered for inclusion into this bird.

Subject: IBIS connector specification vote
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hi all,

  I would like to move that an item of business be added to the
next meeting agenda to discuss voting on the IBIS connector
specification.  

1) It was introduced in Jan 1999 at the Design Con IBIS
    meeting.
2) All open items that came up at that meeting have been addressed
    by the connector sub-group.  The specification was modified
    to either address them, post-pone them till another released or
    close them.
3) It is badly needed by the industry.
4) It has been examined by several major connector vendors,
    simulation vendors, and industry experts in the area of 
    electromagnetic's and it is considered acceptable.
5) It follows the grammar and syntax of the existing IBIS specification
6) It uses syntax that is backward compatible with the IBIS .pkg
specification.

As far as I know all the goals we set to accomplish have been
achieved.

Check out the information at the IBIS web site...
   http://www.eda.org/pub/ibis/connector/

I don't expect a vote at the next meeting; I would however
like it to be scheduled for a vote.

best wishes.

Kellee:

You and the others have done an outstanding job producing the
Connector Specification document.

The Connector proposal is scheduled for discussion at the Friday,
November 19, 1999 meeting at the end.  I anticipate that there will
be enough time for an extended introductory discussion.

We are also thinking of two meetings in December where one will
be devoted to one or two major technical issues.  The Connector
proposal is a candidate for an such an extended discussion.

What is needed is for the IBIS group to seriously review the proposal
and to provide comments.

Then we can close off all new issues and vote on the proposal.

Best Regards,
Bob Ross

Hi IBIS folks,

I decided to write this EMAIL on the future directions for IBIS to air some
of
my thoughts on this subject.  I would like to get you thinking and stimulate
a conversation so that we could make good decisions.  I will try to talk in
general
terms so that we can see things in a broader view, but I will also give some
examples to illustrate the issues.

The spec starts getting out of hand mostly because of the inflexible keyword
structure and inconsistencies.  Keywords have very specific functions and
assumptions,
that's what makes them so inflexible.  Inconsistencies prevent the reuse of
the same
syntax and/or keyword in different situations.  For example, I just wrote
BIRD 64, and
found out that what I thought was a very simple addition was impossible.  I
wanted to
make a package selector keyword that is identical to the model selector
keywords, but
it couldn't be done, because the rules are different for the package model
names and
buffer model names.  One allows 40, the other allows 20 characters.  One
allows spaces,
the other doesn't.

I also started to write a BIRD on (what I thought) a simple keyword that
would have
allowed the on-die power distribution and return path modeling.  It would
have
resembled the [Pin Numbers] keyword from the package section, except it
would have
described the interconnect between die pads and buffer models on the die.
The idea
is great, but syntactically does not work out as simple as it could.  Why?
Because
the [Pin Numbers] keyword depends on a few other keywords ([Number of Pins],
[Number
of Sections], [Model Data], etc).  They could all be reused, but two changes
would
have to be made in two of those keyword's usage rules.  Besides, these
keywords are
all called "package" something, and it would be too confusing to describe
die-interconnects
with keywords that are called "package" something.  So the next option would
be to
basically copy the whole package chapter with these minor name and rule
changes into
a brand new chapter called "Die Interconnect Modeling".  This, however,
increases the
size of the specification, duplicates a lot of things but also increases the
number
of inconsistencies.

Thinking about this problem I started to wonder whether I could use the EBD
or new
connector proposal, but I realized that each one of these have some specific
characteristics which result in the same situation.

To sum it up, we have four areas for interconnect modeling, each of which
needs a separate
chapter in the spec.  This is ridiculous, because each of these are
interconnect models!
We should be able to come up with a syntax that is general enough to handle
them all!

I don't want to hold back the approval of the new connector spec.  We need
it badly,
and it is way too late.  I am just talking about all this so we can make a
better plan
for the future.

Now, we have an option to take the spec and rigorously look at all these
syntactical
problems and clean it up and make it more efficient.  However, at the same
time we
are beginning to feel the need for nodal connectivity.  The new connector
spec proposal
introduces nodal connectivity in the [Begin_Cn_Pin_Map] keyword into IBIS.
Stephen's
IBIS-X proposal revolves heavily around nodal structuring, and I was going
to use
something similar to the [Begin_Cn_Pin_Map] in my unfinished
die-interconnect BIRD
also.  So we all agree that this is a must.  The question is whether we
should do it
through "mapping" keywords, or the good old SPICE way (or any other newly
invented
syntax).

Regarding buffer modeling:  Stephen's proposal of an API is essentially a
hook to
SPICE simulators from behavioral tools which would be used mostly when there
are new
features that can't be described by existing IBIS keywords.  Can't do it in
IBIS, so
do it in SPICE (from an IBIS simulator).  Again, it seems that we want SPICE
capabilities.  But why?  Because IBIS is inflexible.  What if IBIS could do
what
IMIC can do?  Describe a buffer on a transistor level with behavioral
transistors.
Or take an intermediate level, describe a buffer with a building-block
architecture,
using primitives.  A primitive could be as low as an IMIC behavioral
transistor,
but could be a basic inverter, or a block of the whole buffer, such as
predriver,
output stage, receiver, etc.  This way one could put together a model
behaviorally,
using any level of abstraction according to the need of the buffer's
characteristics.
However, this would also require nodal connectivity.

Oh yes, I almost forgot about equations.  These are a special kind of
controlled
sources.  Yes, behavioral.  Allowing any node to be connected to another
node by
any function (S-parameter, and you name it).  In a general case they let you
reference any node voltage and/or branch current a part of the equation (not
all
SPICE tools do this well).  These animals can't exist without a nodal
approach
either.

So we want nodal connectivity a netlist type approach for any level of
abstraction, 
behavioral and possibly full SPICE description capabilities.  Doesn't this
sound
like a SPICE with enhanced behavioral elements?

Let's turn around the picture.  What does SPICE not have that IBIS has?
Most SPICE
flavors do not do too well on behavioral modeling, and board level
simulation hooks.
Board file readers are missing, measure statements are stone age style.  The
simulation
results are in raw data format, and there are no good post processing tools
to interpret
the results.

What if we added IMIC style behavioral transistors to SPICE tools?  What if
we added
IBIS style behavioral buffers (building blocks) to SPICE tools?  What if we
added
nice and useful measurement statements?  Add a front end tool that reads PCB
layout
files.  Add a 3D graphical output visualization tool to interpret the
results.  (Some
IBIS tools could learn more about this too).

No matter how we look at it, it seems to that we are experiencing the need
for a merger
between the SPICE world and the behavioral tool's world.  It seems to me
that SPICE
addresses buffer design, while behavioral tools address system design with
their
main features.  With the emerging needs in system design, BOTH kinds of
tools are
lacking, even though SPICE is still good for buffer design.  The real
question in my 
opinion is: How can we improve on our system design tools?

What is easier to do?  Clean up IBIS and invent a nodal language, advance
the behavioral
black box approach with a possible merger with IMIC, add SPICE support into
them though
an API, or take the existing SPICE tools and add those "system design"
features that
IBIS tools have and are good at? 

I would like to read a lot of replies to this one...

BIRD ID#:               64.1
ISSUE TITLE:            Package Model Selector
REQUESTER:              Arpad Muranyi, Intel
DATE SUBMITTED:         10-25-99, 11-19-99 
DATE ACCEPTED BY IBIS OPEN FORUM:     Pending

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

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE:

The current IBIS specification (3.2) does not provide a selection mechanism
for multiple package models.  This may be necessary when a certain die is
shipped in various package styles, or when the corner cases of the package
are described with different package models.

This BIRD is written to provide an easy solution to this deficiency.  This
feature will allow simulator tools to implement a user friendly package
model selection interface and/or better automation for batch and sweep
simulations.

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

STATEMENT OF THE RESOLVED SPECIFICATIONS:

A new keyword shall be introduced in the IBIS specification to provide a user
friendly package model selection mechanism for components which use multiple
package models.  The proposed keyword [Package Model Selector] shall contain a
list of all package model names that the simulator can pick from.  The first
entry in the list is considered to be the default package model.  The package 
model names listed under the [Package Model Selector] must follow the rules
of the package model names associated with the [Package Model] keyword.

To help the user of the simulator tool to make an intelligent choice, it is
highly recommended that a description be placed to the right of each package
model name in the list as a comment.

|=============================================================================
|     Keyword:  [Package Model Selector] 
|    Required:  No.
| Description:  Used to select a package model from a list of package models.
|  Sub-Params:  None.
| Usage Rules:  The [Package Model Selector] keyword can be used in place of 
|               the [Package Model] keyword.  The only difference between the 
|               two keywords is that the [Package Model Selector] allows 
|               multiple package models to be listed.  All package model names
|               must appear below the [Package Model Selector] keyword.
|
|               The package model names listed under the [Package Model 
|               Selector] must follow the rules of the package model names
|               associated with the [Package Model] keyword.
|
|               The first entry under the [Package Model selector] keyword
|               shall be considered the default by the simulator tool.

ANALYSIS PATH/DATA THAT LED TO SPECIFICATION:

Problem statement

Some components are shipped in multiple package styles.  Also, there are
situations when the corner cases of a package are modeled with multiple
package models.  Currently, in these cases the user of the IBIS model has to
manually edit the IBIS file to change the package model name that is called by
the [Package Model] keyword in order to reference a different package model.
This makes automated simulations difficult, if not impossible.

Possible solutions

Add a new, simple keyword to the IBIS specification which works similar to the
already existing [Model Selector] keyword.

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

ANY OTHER BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Several IBIS model users expressed their desire in private conversations and
IBIS meetings to have such a package model selection mechanism in the IBIS
specification to make their work easier.

An alternate syntax was suggested by Bob Ross during an EMAIL and telephone
correspondence on 10/25/99.  The suggested syntax is identical to the [Model
Selector] syntax, according to which the [Package Model Selector] would be
assigned a name that is called by the (higher level) [Package Model] keyword.
However, unlike in the [Model Selector] case, there is no need for calling the
[Package Model Selector] from a higher level.  This BIRD favors the simpler
vs. the more consistent approach.

Scott McMorrow made a request in an EMAIL on 11/12/99 to incorporate typ.,
min., and max. columns in the list of package models under the model selector
name to assist in automating the package model selection based on corner
cases.  According to the exisiting rules this is not possible, becuase the
package model names are allowed to be up to 40 characters in length.  Three
package model names on the same line could add up to 122 characters, which
violates the current 80 character per line rules of the IBIS specification.

Further, package model names are allowed to include blank characters, which
requires a delimiter other than the space or tab character between the
typ., min., and max. columns.  The usage of a new delimiter introduces another
inconsistency in the IBIS specification, since spaces and/or tab characters
are widely used as delimiters between columns in current IBIS versions.

A technical dilemma regarding the automated selection of package models based
on typ., min., and max. qualifiers remains to be answered also.  What do typ.,
min., and max. represent?  Impedance, wave velocity, trace length, or perhaps
the amount of cross talk?  Simulation tool users will most likely make their
choices based on individual preferences, possibly depending on project
requirements.  For this reason it seems to make more sense to give only a list
that contains all of the package models without the typ., min., and max.
qualifiers.  The selection and automated usage of the various package models
should then be done through a GUI or configuration mechanisms provided by the
tool.

The differences between the model name and package model name restrictions
required a change even in this BIRD.  The description field of the [Model
Selector] keyword is separated by one or more space or tab character(s) from
the model name.  However, since package model names can contain blank
characters, space or tab characters will not work as delimiters for the
description field of the [Package Model Selector] keyword.

Since the contents of the description field is only used for informational
purposes which does not effect the simulations I decided to use the comment
character (|) as the delimiter for now.  This option was actually discussed
for the [Model Selector] also but voted down for the reason that tools reading
an IBIS model have all the rights to ignore all comments, therefore a GUI
would not know how to distinguish between a legitimate descrription and a
meaningless comment.  Does anyone have a better suggestion?

All,

Perhaps we should revisit the need for IBIS in the first place. Couldn't
proprietary information be distributed through the simulator vendors using
public/private keying?

Regarding the "nodal simulator" discussion, there is a very fine modeling
language in the documentation for a microwave simulator used for the MMIC
program in the 90's. I have the source code under license and have read the code
extensively as well as several versions of Spice code. The MMIC simulator does a
particularly fine job of goal based parameter optimization, including
syntactical representations of typ[min,max] parameter values and also does yield
analysis based on manufacturing statistical tolerances.

It isn't clear how a behavioral simulator would "call" Spice since Spice isn't
set up to be callable. Spice wants to build the Y matrix from parsed input and
invert it in the time domain. We should recall that Spice 3f5 is an integrated
circuit simulator which does not support nonlinear devices in the frequency
domain (which are used to characterize interconnect).  And I don't see any
analysis tool vendor except one that intends to correlate calculated vs measured
results (i.e. loss tangent, Er, anisotropic Er, skin effect, surface roughness,
etc., etc.).

The discussion has left out the Boolean capabilities in WSpice which may be
required to characterize buffers.

And all this needs to run in a finite time.

The subject of analog design languages has a varied history going back to the
AHDL workshops at Dartmouth in 1985.  The analog designers abandoned the effort
to the CS majors since the need for graphical input representation couldn't be
met with a 128 key keyboard!

Anyway, this is no small effort. I agree with the basic notion that as digital
design speeds are now up to 10GHz, and PC designs are running up to 400Mhz
baseband with 50-100 ps risetimes, the need for microwave style modeling is
clear.

I think both Arpad and Ted raise some very good issues.  I would
like to recommend that the community takes a moment to think where
they want to take IBIS in the next century....IBIS 2000???

Feedback/comments are welcome.

Some global comments:

o IBIS succeeded because it created an accepted standard for distributing
  simulatable descriptions of I/O buffers.  Prevous attempts at encrypted
  I/O model distrubution basicly failed for a variety of reasons
  (proprietary/custom spices, IP conerns, too much effort, etc.).  In
  comparison IBIS is an enourmous success.  It solved the 'I dont
  want to/cant give out the Spice netlist for my driver' problem.

o From a technical point of view, the IBIS standard is somehat arbitrary
  in terms of its makeup and is IMHO suffering
  from creeping functionalism.  For example (on the arbitrariness), when
  writing 2ibis, we had to make arbitrary decisions about how the
different
  parts of the circuit response are assigned to the different parts of the
  macromodel.
 (BTW, this does not detract from the utility of the tool at all)

o IBIS does not lead to accurate SSN prediction and IMHO no
straightforward
  extension will be able handle this or return path issues properly.  A
  fresh start is needed.  IBIS has already run out of steam for the ultra
  high speed board designer.

Some recommendations for 'IBIS 2000':

o Keep IBIS 1.
  Keep a behavioral standard that can has a large level of agreement
  and buy-in.  In fact, do not abandon IBIS as it exists now.

o Change the direction for future IBIS enhancements.
  Here could be some recommendations:
  - From a technical point of view, IBIS should be mainly be a set of
    macromodels that properly capture I/O edges and Vdd and Gnd
transients.
    (BTW, the latter is somewhat difficult.)  Table-based VI
    macro-models are appropriate.
  - It should be possible to produce this macromodel from a Spice netlist
    (S2ibis) or a measurement procedure.
  - It should be possible to translate the macromodels into the more
    popular spice flavours with a very simple 1:1 translation.

o Drop including the package.
  There is no technical reason why IBIS should be getting into package
  parasitic modeling.  Why cant vendors just distribute an RLC netlist?
  There is no reason to invent a new standard for this (vanilla Spice
  is fine) and I fail to see how such netlists can be considered
  core corporate IP and thus have to be protected (please let me know
  if this last statement is wrong).

  With proper netlists, the accuracy of SSN, package xtalk and return
  path simulation would go up.

o Keep the concept of the IBIS model also documenting SI requirements.
  This is not done properly elsewhere in the documentation, so might as
  well leave it here.

o Keep the concept of an agreed-upon-standard.  It has worked well to now.

I do feel that there is a need for fundamental and open work on what
is needed to accurately model a driver with a macromodel.  IBIS 1
worked fine just by thinking the issues through a little.  IBIS 2000
needs some experimental investigative work as to how it should approach
macromodeling.  Eyeballing a model wont work.

That work could be be done in an Industry lab or
(shameless plug follows) in an open University setting.  (SRC would
be the appropriate sponsor, by the way).

Regards,

Paul

Absolutely agree on using university types to help on the language definition
and need for funding.

RLC will not be satisfactory for all packaging. Need lossy coupled transmission
lines.

Let's think in the reverse direction - top down.

Suppose we have the perfect language, what would it do?

Accept IBIS
Accept Spice
Accept a N port network description language (NDL)
Accept graphical input
Accept measurement based tables of S parameters (or Y or Z) by frequency or NDL
equations
Others I haven't thought about

The common thread I see here is network description objects. An object being
defined as data and methods in its own container. That is, an object knows
enough about itself to be able to describe itself to you.

The theory here is that if an object oriented language can be fashioned, we
don't care about the implementation details which is where we're hung up.

I can share the Agile user manual with whoever, it's not in machine readable
form. It would be possible to stick Agile on a server somewhere so interested
parties could play. Its a Motif/unix app. that uses the linpack nonlinear pde
solvers and it was written in C by 2 RF electrical engineers. Took about 8 man
years including comparing calculated vs. measured results.

Perhaps a Smalltalk parser and Matlab solver would work for protyping.

Sorry, Ted, I was not clear.  I meant an RLC matrix in Spice format.
This handles losses and coupling.  It can also handle frequency-dependent
losses in a practical sense (ie. up to a cutoff frequency).

The advantages are that the format is well known, widely used and
can handle just about anything (though sometimes a little clumsilly
e.g.  S-parameter information has to be fitted to an RLC ladder network).
The disadvantages is needing a smart parser for other formats, e.g.
S parameters.

It sounds like you are leading towards the concept of the 'Universal
parser' for packaging-related info and with some common format.  ie. Take
in format X, produce simulatable format Y for simulator Z.   A lot of
these pieces already exist, scattered around various vendors.  Also,
Verilog-AMS
and VHDL-AMS most likely has standards for some of these formats.   A
Universal parser would be a significant development effort.  Many parts
of this would have definite value as some of the vendor stuff is very
buried in one simulator or expensive.

Paul

If I had a vote, it would be for an XML-based syntax that is
essentially structured SPICE.  It should include BSPICE
(only because it's freely available) implementations of
nominal/best/worst buffer or connector _in addition to_
VI/VT/etc tables.  It's almost SPICE, so it's extensible
and it has data structure to it that behavioral simulators
can read and modify.  You may need to limit what
SPICE elements can be used to controlled sources, R's,
L's(K's), C's and T's (...and?).  And lossy elements
will need to be addressed soon...

No concrete syntax suggestion yet.  I just spent about
a minute just now looking at the IMIC spec, enough to think that
it could benefit from XML structure.

Anybody know of other SPICEs, besides Apsim's, that 
handle the EIAJ TABLE extension?

In the  "for what it's worth" category:

For a little while now, some of us have been deeply involved with the creation
of a connector model specification.

Included in the PROPOSED specification (THIS IS NOT A FINAL SPECIFICATION YET):
* SLM: Single Line Model definition (non-coupled)
* MLM: Multi Line Model definition (COUPLED)
* CMLM: Cascaded Multi Line Model definition (COUPLED)
* Matrix based modeling
* by R, L, C matrices  (Inductance matrix is a "partial inductance matrix")
* Fixed Pin mapping  (to help facilitate nodal style interconnects)
* Floating pin mapping (pin mapping set up to be flexible to accept different
size models.  (Does this mean that there is a provision to create a variable
size model.. based on the matrix construct?....  Yes, it does!)
* "Swath" matrix operator...  basically allows the inclusion of a variable size
model  (especially for connectors). Kind of like an automated banded matrix.
*  Ability to cascade matrices.  As such one connector (interconnect?) model can
be made up of multiple cascaded and stub matrices.  As such, keeping some (most)
frequency dependence.  Obviously, this really depends on the "completeness" the
model creator. (There is also a "minimum risetime definition" in the model to
help assist users of the model)
* coupling
* expanded line length
* included a reference to jpg file for the model
* model ftp / www site address for updates

Some of the items could be added into the general spec if deemed worthy.



What we did not put in to the specification at this time:

* Behavioral modeling of interconnects.  The most popular way to do this for an
interconnect is probably s-parameters.  This is seen as a potential FUTURE
upgrade to the specification.  As it was thought that the most important thing
to do was to get some interconnect models into the IBIS stream.

* The specification was set up to deal with most (99%??) of today's connector
issues.  As such it can deal with many other interconnect issues as well
(package, cable, other?)....  but, it is not perfect for them.  For example...
cables....  for cables, it would probably be nice to have Propagation Delay and
Impedance (maybe admittance too?) matrices directly.  Yet, another future
upgrade....??

Other issues:
* With SPICE, it was generally known how Berkeley SPICE will handle: L, C, R,
and k values.  Unfortunately, we do not have the luxury with non-SPICE
simulators that use IBIS.
* With the creation of connector SPICE models...  The model creator controlled
the "circuit" generated from the matrix.  In this case,  each simulator will be
able to generate one or more kinds of circuit for each R,L,C matrix set. This
can be good and bad.
*  It will still be possible for someone to connect a "perfect ground" to both
sides (input and output ports) of a connector.  This will effectively ruin the
simulations based on that circuit construction that use COUPLED models.  The
more that I follow the list.. the more I think that the standard IBIS "I/V"
curves are generated by the use of a "perfect ground".  Hopefully, simulators do
not need to assign a "perfect ground" in the every equation that references a
IBIS semiconductor model.

BOTTOM LINE:
Every connector that can be represented by a SPICE model today.. can also be
represented by the matrix approach in the Connector Specification.

I am not sure on the access that you may have to the "0.92 PROPOSED IBIS
Connector Specification.  If required, I can supply a URL to the site.

Sorry, Ted, I was not clear.  I meant an RLC matrix in Spice format.
This handles losses and coupling.  It can also handle frequency-dependent
losses in a practical sense (ie. up to a cutoff frequency).

The advantages are that the format is well known, widely used and
can handle just about anything (though sometimes a little clumsilly
e.g.  S-parameter information has to be fitted to an RLC ladder network).
The disadvantages is needing a smart parser for other formats, e.g.
S parameters.

It sounds like you are leading towards the concept of the 'Universal
parser' for packaging-related info and with some common format.  ie. Take
in format X, produce simulatable format Y for simulator Z.   A lot of
these pieces already exist, scattered around various vendors.  Also,
Verilog-AMS
and VHDL-AMS most likely has standards for some of these formats.   A
Universal parser would be a significant development effort.  Many parts
of this would have definite value as some of the vendor stuff is very
buried in one simulator or expensive.

Regards,

Paul

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

INTRODUCTIONS AND MEETING QUORUM
Ron Werner of Motorola joined and introduce himself as a user of IBIS models 
and also as the Chair of the Design Automation Division at EIA under which 
the EIA IBIS Open Forum resides.


MEMBERSHIP UPDATE AND TREASURER'S REPORT
Bob Ross indicated that the membership still is at 32, but this will drop to
30 next year due to some acquisitions of member companies by member companies.
Bob indicated that Cecilia Fleming (who could not attend this meeting) is
allocating several thousand dollars of royalty revenue to the IBIS Committee
based on the re-distribution of revenues from a discontinued EIA Committee.


REVIEW OF MINUTES AND AR'S
The October 29, 1999 IBIS Open Forum Meeting minutes were approved without
change.

The AR's will be discussed during the meeting.


MISCELLANY/ANNOUNCEMENTS
None.


PRESS AND WEB PAGE UPDATES
Syed Huq indicated that there is a Siemens roster update.  He also added new
links on EIA IBIS Home page for Connector Info and (later in the meeting) for
the s2ibis3 Project.


NEW MODELS AVAILABLE, LIBRARY UPDATE
Bob Ross indicated that Jon Powell plans to update the Model Page next week.

Bob also indicated more IBIS models now exist under several company links,
and/or the pages have been re-located for Philips Semiconductor, TI, and
Motorola.

Some IBIS model links appear to have disappeared probably as result of
mergers and acquisitions (for example, IC Works and Quality Semiconductor).

The Hewlett Packard link for the VCSEL Transceiver IBIS Mole is now under
the Agilent link:

  http://www.semiconductor.agilent.com/fiber/ibis.html

Matthew Flora reported that the Intel PCI-to-PCI Bridge IBIS Models are under:

OPENS FOR NEW ISSUES
Scott McMorrow on BIRD66 - [Model Spec] Vref Addition


INTERNATIONAL/EXTERNAL PROGRESS
- IEC 62014-1 (IBIS Version 3.2) - Bob Ross had no further progress report
from Cecilia Fleming.  However formal ratification of IBIS Version 3.2 as
IEC 62104-1 is still expect shortly (months or less).

- pr EIAJ ED-5302 Standard for I/O Interface Model for Integrated Circuits
(IMIC) - Bob Ross had no further report and repeated from last meeting that a
Version 1.2 has been posted for review with a deadline of December 25, 1999.
Note added after the meeting: the link to the document has been moved and is
now located at the bottom of:

  http://tsc.eiaj.or.jp/eds/iopg.htm

- IEC PWI 93-1 Models of Integrated Circuits for EMI Behavioral Simulation
(formerly designated as IEC 93/67/NP IBIS and EMC Simulation) - Bob Ross
had no report.

- JC-16.2 Subcommittee: Modeling and Test - Bob Ross had no report.


DESIGNCON 2000 IBIS SUMMIT PLANNING
Bob Ross stated that the IBIS Summit meeting is being held on Monday,
January 31, 2000 in Santa Clara, California.  The IBIS Open Forum is listed 
again as an Associate Sponsor of DesignCon 2000 which means that DesignCon
is providing the meeting room and refreshments and also booth space.

Milt Schwartz offered that National Semiconductor is sponsoring again the
buffet luncheon.  He also stated that presenters may send him electronic
copies, and National Semiconductor will make copies available at the meeting.

Bob indicated that Jon Powell will be providing the booth and coordinating 
the setup.  He plans again to have IBIS Open Forum member company logos 
posted on the backdrop.  It will be a place to meet, pick up literature, and
possibly host an electronic accuracy demonstration.

Bob stated plans that we will be sending out the first notice in early
December.  We do have several presentations and will plan on some extended
discussions on some of the new topics that are now being considered.


DATE2000 IBIS SUMMIT PLANNING
Bob Ross commented that the DATE2000 IBIS Summit meeting associated with the
Design Automation and Testing in Europe conference is still planned to be
held in Paris, France on Friday, March 31, 2000.  However, the meeting date 
may be moved up to Monday, March 27 in order to find a suitable room.  Mentor
Graphics and Incases are co-sponsors, but others are expected.  The PCB
Symposium is scheduled for Thursday, March 30, 2000.


S2IBIS3 COMMITTEE REPORT
Michael Cohen listed and thanked the participants of the Spice to IBIS 
subcommittee for the work done, and particularly Syed Huq for serving as the 
editor of a draft requirements document.  Several weekly meetings were held,
and the document is now ready for the IBIS Open Forum to review.

Syed stated that a link exists to the directory where the document resides
from the IBIS Home Page under s2ibis3 Project:

  http://www.eia.org/eig/ibis/ibis.htm

or directly from

  http://www.eda.org/pub/ibis/s2ibis3/

Everyone is invited to review and comment on the contents of the document.
The committee wants feedback before it is officially released.  Michael stated
that the next meeting is planned for Thursday, December 2, 1999 to draft a
letter requesting bids on the requirements.

Raj Raghuram voiced his concern that this project may compete with existing
commercial products and questioned whether it was appropriate for the IBIS
Open Forum to pursue this.  Furthermore, the IBIS Open Forum had visibility
of such products.  We discussed this briefly, and Bob Ross asked to plan 
further discussion at the next meeting since we had several other topics to
discuss.


IBIS DUES AND FUNDING
Bob Ross reported on the e-mail ballot votes tallied by Guy de Burgh (who
could not attend this meeting) plus some votes from attendees at the meeting
that were either not sent or not yet received and reported by Guy.

The total official vote to change the yearly IBIS Open Forum dues to $750.00 
is 23 YES, 2 NO, and 7 No-responses.  Bob reported each company's vote at the
meeting.  Bob then stated that two of the No-responses were from companies
that had merged with other member companies that had voted YES.  Bob
considered that their vote could be also be counted as YES.  However, these
additional votes were not technically needed.

Consistent with the most stringent internal IBIS requirement that two-thirds 
(21) of the official EIA IBIS Open Forum Members must approve a Charter
change, the new rate is official approved.


NEW IBIS OFFICER POSITIONS
Bob also reported on the e-mail ballot votes tallied by Guy de Burgh the vote
on the Charter change to add the Postmaster and Webmaster positions as
official EIA IBIS Open Forum officers.  Bob also collected unreported votes
at the meeting.

The official vote is 24 YES, 0 NO and 8 No-responses.  Bob reported each
company's vote at the meeting.  Although not technically needed, two of the
No-response votes could also fall in the YES category.

The Charter revision creating the new positions is officially approved.

The revised section that was published in the October 29, 1999 minutes is
repeated for reference:

CONNECTOR PROPOSAL
Bob Ross moved the Connector Proposal discussion originally scheduled at the
very end as the next item in the Agenda since Kellee Chrisafulli had to leave
early.

Kellee provided background information that a sub-committee of EDA vendors 
and connector vendors produced a draft connector specification document.  The
draft was presented at the February 1, 1999 IBIS Summit Meeting and was also
uploaded for review.  Several comments were made at that meeting.  Most of 
the comments dealt with additional clarifications.  The revised document is 
now available for review and for the IBIS Open Forum to take action.

Kellee reported that the sub-committee decided to focus only on modeling
connectors since that was the compelling need and also not to get bogged down
in some more general issues associated with package models and electrical
board descriptions.  Kellee indicated that a previous proposal by the IBIS
Open Forum might have died because it tried to be too general.  Kellee stated
that the new ideas in the connector document could be applied to package 
models in the future.  Also, after further investigation, Kelly stated that
the sub-committee decided to postpone dealing with frequency dependent 
losses.  However, he saw no barrier to including them in a future version.  

As stated earlier, the link to the Connector Specification directory that
contains the latest documents is now available from the EIA IBIS Home page
and is also accessible directly at:

  http://www.eda.org/pub/ibis/connector/
  
Stephen Peters and Arpad Muranyi asked several clarifying questions on
whether the (frequency dependent) conductance matrix was included, and Kellee 
responded that it was not.  Furthermore he stated that the decision to 
postpone losses was made after consulting with a number of internal technical 
experts.

Arpad stated that he reviewed the document and did not find any reference to
length statements.  Kellee thought that this was an oversight.

Bob Ross stated that the IBIS Open Forum needed to look and validate the big
decisions and also comment on the small issues.  The February 1, 1999 IBIS
Summit presentation which contains some committee rationale is also in the
location above.  The big issues include keeping the document focused on
connectors only (versus expanding it to included packages and Electrical Board
Descriptions), using the matrix methodology similar to the coupled package
model methodology in the IBIS Standard (versus a nodal or Spice-like
methodology), checking the EDA and connector vendor support, and deferring
losses.  The smaller issues deal with syntax alignment, with IBIS and some
syntax and keyword decisions that are different from IBIS.

Bob also commented that some sample connector models that were originally
on the CD ROM given to attendees at the February 1, 1999 IBIS Summit Meeting
were not uploaded.  Kellee responded that he will check that the examples
are consistent with the revised syntax and will work with Matthew Flora to
upload the examples.

Scott McMorrow raised the issue that modern connectors have tolerances and
that minimum and maximum models are needed along with typical models.  He
also presented some ideas on syntax.  Arpad suggested multiple connector
models.  Bob asked to postpone the discussion until the BIRD64 discussion 
since Scott had recently raised a similar concern on the BIRD64 proposal.

Arpad asked whether the document would be processed as a separate document
or a section in the IBIS document.  Kellee stated that he would like to see
the document as an official section in the IBIS document (along with package
models, Electrical Board Descriptions).  However, it is currently structured
as a stand-alone document.

Bob felt that it would be easier to deal with the document as a stand-alone
document.  The overall IBIS document was becoming very large and there were
other IBIS issues being considered that could slow down the release of the
connector document if it were to be included as part of IBIS.  

Bob outlined a scenario similar to the one used to ratify various levels of
IBIS.  The EIA IBIS Open Forum could seriously review the document and then 
ratify it at a "Version 1.0" level once all the issues have been resolved.  
A separate Connector BIRD process might be used if a number of issues were
raised.  This would stabilize the syntax.  Then a parser could be developed 
to check the syntax and also to independently review and uncover confusing or
unclear sections in the document.  A number of editorial and possibly minor
technical changes would be made, and the revised document would be ratified
at the Version 1.1 level.  Then it might be forwarded to EIA for a public 
letter ballot review as part of the national EIA and ANSI ratification 
process.

Ron Werner concurred with this approach and suggested that we continue to
process the Connector document as an independent document.


COOKBOOK STATUS
The normal Agenda sequence was then resumed.  Stephen Peters had no report.


IBIS MODEL REVIEW COMMITTEE DISCUSSION
Matthew Flora reported that a new model from Intel has been distributed for
review.


BUG34 - NO ERRORS REPORTED FOR MISSING V/I TABLES IN OUTPUT BUFFERS
Bob Ross asked Matthew Flora to defer the discussion on BUG34 until a later
meeting.  Unlike some of the BUGs where a simple solution exists, this bug
contains some enhanced Warning messages that need to be discussed.  Bob plans
to send this BUG out to the IBIS reflectors for reference.  Also, we need
to decide who will provide the fix.  Currently two minor BUGs have been
fixed, but they not significant enough to go through the processes to issue
a new ibischk3 release at this time.


BIRD61 - ENHANCED CHARACTERIZATION OF RECEIVERS
BIRD62 - ENHANCED CHARACTERIZATION OF RECEIVER THRESHOLDS (discussed First)
BIRD63 - DOCUMENTATION OF RECEIVER SETUP AND HOLD TIMING CONDITIONS
Stephen Peters still has not had time to provide updates and corrections to 
BIRD62 and BIRD63 in response to comments.  Stephen also stated that BIRD61
needs some further work to describe behavioral receivers.  He expects Don 
Telium of Cadence to present some ideas at the IBIS Summit meeting on 
January 31, 2000.

While not directly related to the above BIRDs, Bob Ross mentioned that the
IBIS Committee is at a cross-roads.  The Version 3.2 document is already
quite large.  It can be improved, but we need to decide between some 
fundamental and possibly overlapping approaches that are now being proposed.
So the content of IBIS Version 4.0 might be just minor specification and
technical improvements associated with current technology or it might include
some major additions.  Some proposals and activities include:

  IBIS Version 4.0 Specification additions (including BIRDs 62, 63, 66)
  Input Modeling Simulation (BIRD61)
  Other Version 4.0 technical details (BIRDs 64, 65, and more)
  IBIS-X to be discussed later, possible alternative BIRDxxx, and possible
    inclusion of an application programmable interface (API).
  Possibly resurrecting older proposals related to SSO, ground bounce.
  Spice and IMIC links
  Considering analog VHDL
  Connector Specification
  Other Activities - Spice to IBIS, Accuracy Specification, Education, etc.

Bob concluded that at least some minor refinements to IBIS Version 3.2 leading
to IBIS 4.0 are needed and can be ratified at this time without conflicting
with other possible approaches.


BIRD64 - PACKAGE MODEL SELECTOR
Bob Ross and Arpad Muranyi commented on some of the alternatives presented in
response to BIRD64 to allow package model selections for an IBIS Component.
These alternatives include:

  Do nothing, just issue separate component models
  Use [Package Model Selector] to list separate choices as in BIRD64
  Use [Package Model Selector] in a manner similar to [Model Selector]
  (also extend [Package Model] syntax to include typ, min, max models)

Scott McMorrow discussed another option that he recently presented on the IBIS
reflector.  He proposed a syntax for using the [Package Model Selector] for
different packages, and each of these packages would have columns for typ, 
min and max models.

Scott argued that this extension would also be useful for Electrical Board
Descriptions and would avoid loading several Component models for the same
component.  The newer syntax would also support having EDA tools doing
package model selection automatically for corner analysis.

Scott gave an example of a 208 pin BGA.  He stated that the typical column
package model might reference the single line model, the minimum column model 
might reference the odd-mode extraction, and the maximum column model might
reference the even-mode extraction.

More discussion occurred.  Bob commented that there were two different 
applications.  One application was to select different packages and one was
to select typ, min, and max variations of the same package.  An original, 
IBIS assumption has been that detailed pin level models gave would be
relatively constant compared to the wider electrical variations between typ,
min, and max I/O buffer models.

We ended the discussion in order to move on to the next Agenda items.


BIRD65 - C_comp REFINEMENTS
Bob Ross commented that BIRD65 might be an easy technical addition to
ratify, but needs to be considered in the context of some other fundamental
proposals that might better deal with current distribution details.  Bob
asked Arpad to defer the discussion so we could move on to other Agenda
topics.


BIRD66 - [Model Spec] Vref ADDITION (Inserted Agenda Item)
Scott McMorrow introduced BIRD66,  He proposed adding Vref as a [Model Spec]
subparameter to allow different Vref values for min and max voltage settings.
Scott argued that this variation is needed to support certain technologies
such as SSTL.

Bob Ross commented that we have considered this before and will need more
time to discuss it fully.  BIRD66 opens the door again for allowing other
possibilities such as also allowing min and max Rref and Cref values, adding
an Rseries element in the test load (as in SSTL) and also specifying
independent loads for rising and falling edges (such as those used in some PCI
specifications.)


IBIS-X
In the remaining time Stephen Peters introduced a general IBIS-X proposal 
that he recently sent to the IBIS reflector.  The issues he wanted to 
address are:

  The IBIS document is becoming too complex
  Extensions are needed for detailed power and ground return path analysis 
  Behavioral receiver models are needed
  An Application Program Interface (API) escape mechanism is needed for
    solutions which have not been standardized (such as nodal syntax and
    black box support)

Stephen started by questioning what is need to support an API.  The elements
of the IBIS-X proposal then evolved.  Like IBIS, IBIS-X is component centric.
However, it is not entirely backward compatible.  It contains some of the 
more useful IBIS syntax and table structure, but uses a [Begin Component]
and [End Component] and [Begin Model] and [End Model] module structure.  The
Model syntax is expanded to include ports to document the  ground and power
connections.

Arpad Muranyi stated that he agrees with the goals.  In general he sees the
benefit of having IBIS (with specification detail) and having Spice.  In fact
Arpad stated that would be nice if Spice Vendors would add specification
detail.  Arpad also has a potentially simpler "BIRDxxx approach based on some
keyword additions to IBIS to add a [Die Interconnect] section.  This would be
in addition to the Package Model, Electrical Board Description, and possible
Connector sections

Bob Ross concluded the discussion by briefly presenting some more elements
contained in the IBIS-X proposal:

  Proposed BIRD6x keywords:
    [Reference Voltage]
    [Driver Spec]
    [Receiver Spec]
  Port list
  Nodal syntax addition for L, R, C, I, V, S (equations) and X (subcircuits)
  [Submodel]
  
Bob indicated that the discussion will be continued.  


NEXT MEETING:
The next teleconference meeting will be on Friday, December 3, 1999 from
8:00 AM to 10:00 AM.

The following meeting will be on Friday, December 17, 1999.  Two meetings
spaced two weeks apart were scheduled so that we could devote more time to
the significant technical issues that are now emerging.

Subject: Frequency Dependent and Lossy

First, 

To the entire group...  I am sorry that I missed the last meeting.  I was fully
planning on being there...  had an unfortunate incident that came up that need
my immediate attention...

I will plan on being at the next meeting.


However, in the spirit of helping...  I would like to address a few of the
comments from the meeting notes:


This email topic:

"Stephen Peters and Arpad Muranyi asked several clarifying questions on
whether the (frequency dependent) conductance matrix was included, and Kellee 
responded that it was not.  Furthermore he stated that the decision to 
postpone losses was made after consulting with a number of internal technical 
experts."


In my mind there are two issues built into this statement:

1. Frequency dependence:  At this time a "FREQUENCY DEPENDENT COMPONENT" is not
built into the specification...  However...  CASCADED MATRICES are built in to
the specification.  The cascaded matrix allows the model to represent
asymetrical or symetrical filtering effects that are typically found in
interconnect structures with multiple discontinuities (i.e. allows you to
represent a pole/zero as they actually occur as the energy passes through the
length of the interconnect).  Thus representing each discontinuity on it's own..
in a series and/or stub configurations. As such, it is quite reasonable to
expect that by using a cascaded model, it is possible to extend the operation
point of a model to the limits of the performance limits of the interconnect
being modeled.

With BERKELEY SPICE models (no vendor specifi SPICE extensions required) , using
a cascaded modeling approach...  today, a 6GHz 3dB bandwidth is a typical
modeling requirement (9GHz. is also possible).  Yes this can be confirmed to
both frequency domain and time domain lab measurements.  

Further, I would also suggest that a frequency dependent component is really
something more than just a swept series resistance that varies as a function of
frequncy in a single lumped model.  As such, to do a true frequency dependent
model, something more like a behavioral model (s-parameters anyone?) would be
the most appropriate method of representation.


2.  Conductance matrix:  At this time a conductance matrix as such is not built
in to the specification.  I think that when this effect comes into play  (I do
not have supporting data, but my guess that conductance becomes significant at
frequencies greater 8 GHz.  ....at least in devices as short as connectors) that
the "s-parameter" solution would be the best solution to correctly implement
dielectric loss effects.

So why noy implement s- parameters now
*  Model complexity....  the connector matrix models that are setup in the
proposed connector specification can be in the 100's to 1000's of lines.  I've
seen (and created) mulitport s-parameter models that are 100x the size.  Of
course, this depends on the frequncy step size and frequncy range of the model.
*  We really  wanted to incorporate an unlimited pin size connector using a
"swath" as proposed in the specification.  As the s-parameter matrix is not a
"single value per coupling / self node" (like , for instance an inductance
matrix would be)...  I had no idea on how to handle the complexity of a swathed
s-parameter.  
* Many simulators that use IBIS models are time domain based...  the complexity
of adding s-parameters may be too difficult.
*  The proverbial , We approached the proposed specification with a "Walk before
you run philosophy".
*  We also wanted to focus on the connector models that are primarily available
today...  and be able to implement those as soon as possible into a new format.

Hi Sir,

  I used the s2ibis2 to transit the spice model to ibis model. I run the
demo under the directory ex1, and there following note when run
"s2ibis2.solaris buffer.s2i" :
s2ibis2.solaris v1.1 -- North Carolina State University
s2ibis2.solaris: Reading input file buffer...done.
s2ibis2.solaris: Analyzing component MCM Driver .
s2ibis2.solaris: Starting HSpice job with input putout.spi.
s2ibis2.solaris: Error in executing HSpice.
s2ibis2.solaris: Error 0
s2ibis2.solaris: Fatal error.
  However it is OK when run "hspice buffer.sp", would please tell me
why?
Thank you very much.

Best Regards,

The specification does allow off-diagonals to be present in the resistance
matrix....  Although not a real "conductance matrix"....  it may help.

Subject: Min / Max Models
To: ibis@eda.org
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Description: cc:Mail note part




This email topic:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Scott McMorrow raised the issue that modern connectors have tolerances and
that minimum and maximum models are needed along with typical models.  He
also presented some ideas on syntax.  Arpad suggested multiple connector
models."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think the multiple model approach is probably best suited for the
specification.

The specification was made to accept matrices that can  be used interchangeably.
 As such, to add min / max matrices would be easy to do in the specification
today.

However, I do have a couple issues with maybe some of the basic premise of using
min/max matrices.  Please keep in mind,  I do not understand the scope of where
the min / max parameters are proposed to be used.   

*  If you were to use the specification to model a  connector with different
length pins (or a package where the leadframe pins to the corners are longer
than the others),  I would contend that there should be a model that represents
the entire set of major discontinuities (and use the swath operator where it is
applicable).  Each discontinuity would be modeled as a coupled representation to
all other near by pins.  I do not think in this case that a min/max should be
used.

*  Connector tolerances....  hmmmm...  I am not sure what tolerances are of
concern... but I would like to make a couple general comments.  

Impedance tolerance....  this is effectively handled by cascaded matrix.  Each
matrix defines the impedance (LCR) of a portion of the length of the entire
connector....  including the approximate respect with regards to time. 
Impedance is probably better handle in this way as opposed to min/ma CL values

Capacitance tolerance and Inductance Tolerance:
Many people model a connector as a single lumped circuit (i.e. a SLM) ... A
single lumped model could very well suffer a severe "overburdening" effect with
this parameter due to the distributed nature of an interconnection.  Cascaded
would be less so...

And maybe a question?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*  What is min/max?  3 sigma...  if you mention this, you by definition build in
the tolerance of the measurement process..  Is it worst case based on production
tolerances... Is it worst case based on as manufactured tolerances...   What is
the temperature / humidity range? What about contact resistance and how it may
or may not vary under different shock loads.... How do we make sure that it is
consistent between vendors. This could open up  a big can of worms.


Also, for what it is worth,  I know that there are connectors with mechanical
dimensions on the prints that are "Critical To Function" (or CTF) that ONLY are
there to maintain electrical design goals and tolerances.

You are right on.

Just a 400 mhz connector can cause problems due to inaccurate modeling therefore
inaccurate specification by the customer therefore lack of process control by the
vendor. And this is in addition to the Z0 change at the connector.

Two things will happen 1. the designers will get smarter and stop using high speed
connectors thus avoiding the problem and 2. Ibis will eventually figure out how to
model frequency dependent devices.

Sets of S parameters for N ports are the only comprehensive solution now because the
only accurate information available is from instruments or 3D field solvers. However
the condensation of the information into something useable (the S parameter sets can
be viewed as a (N-1)*ntables  dimensioned surface where N=# of ports, ntables=no of
frequency points for each Nport set of S parameters).  We're running into this
already for via modeling.

The problem of characterizing e' + je'' which vary with frequency is a area of
active interest. Particularly since many designers choose  to create this problem by
using FR4 rather than a good dielectric like Duroid or Kapton. Which is worse
because for FR4 boards e' and je'' are anisotropic - it varies with the fiberglass
mat orientation in XY and and may also vary in the Z direction. Don't forget you're
trying to control the electrical length to less than 100ps and keep the rise time
out of the quadratic range (RC line rather than LC).

As an example a large digital system could be flip chipped on a MCM - no PCI busses,
AGP busses, ISA busses or memory connectors with a microwave launch to the
keyboard/mouse and display. And satellite or fiber.
If one stops and thinks of the advantages in miniaturizing, lowering manufacturing
cost and simplifying simulation we might design ourselves out of a job.

Sorry,

but if a single Nport's S parameters can be represented with a 2 dimensional array
then adding by frequency makes the surface a 3D surface. So there is an option to
reduce the data and make that a future part of the spec or just include all the data
and let the vendors do it.

Dear Engineer:<br>
<br>
I am writing to inform you of a new product of ours - a sensor film that
reveals the stress distribution and magnitude between any two surfaces
that come in contact -=A0 by changing color. The intensity of the resultant
color is quantifiable and enables you to determine precisely what the PSI
is at any point on the contacting surfaces.=A0 This product is useful for
assessing interfacial stresses that occur at gasketed and flanged
interfaces, in lamination presses, roller systems and heat sealers,
during welding, in materials testing and from impact forces. <br>
<br>
If you would like a <b>FREE product sample</b> or literature please let
me know and I will be sure to send it out=A0 immediately.=A0 Please be sure
to include an approximate <u>PSI</u> range that you want to experiment
with for the application you have in mind. Pressurex is available in five
sample ranges.=A0 <b>Please choose one:<br>
<br>
</b>28 - 85 PSI <br>
70 - 350 PSI<br>
350 - 1400 PSI<br>
1400 - 7100 PSI<br>
7100 - 18,500 PSI<br>
<br>
<b>Also be sure to include your contact information (address, phone, fax,
etc.)<br>
<br>
</b>Thank you for your time.<br>

Hi All,
I have update the ibis model page (direct link below).
There is a new format, I have added many links and a alphabetic
directory (sort of).
All links were verified over thanksgiving (some sites were down and they
are listed accordingly).
I plan to do this again over Christmas (what fun!!!) so please send me
any updates, fixes, gratuitous misspellings, etc.

your friendly neighborhood IBIS librarian,
Jon Powell

Subject: Req for Info: Differential Buffers
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

The typical construct for converting Spice models to IBIS -- namely,
Spice deck fixtures for producing V/I and V/T curves, do not appear
directly relevant for converting differential buffers.

For example, if the non-inverting transmit buffer output is connected to
the S2IBIS2 fixture, how should the inverting output be connected?
Please note that the manner in which the inverting output is connected
does have an impact on the response of the non-inverting output. 

If the non-inverting output is ignored, then the results do not
correlate to the actual buffer behavior because of the tightly matched
current sourcing and sinking of the respective outputs. If the
non-inverting output is connected to something, what is it for both the
V/I and V/T fixtures?

In short, what is the established procedure for differential buffers?

Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Cass Russett

Cass:

You raise a good question.  The IBIS format does not support documenting
the [Rising Waveform] and [Falling Waveform] tables using
differential loads, nor does it support any possible interaction in I-V
characteristics between outputs.  However, I believe there are still
some approximate approaches that will be very accurate.

Some suggestions are given below.  You may need to configure the test
circuit given by s2ibis and use the [iterate] command to get an
adjusted extraction.  You also need to compare the simulation
results.


For V-T tables:

1. Use "equivalent single-ended load on each buffer connected
to the mid-level voltage.  This does not guarentee that
the inverting buffer sees the same current as the non-inverting
buffer - as you have noted.  Nor does it capture any non-inverting
and inverting buffer interaction.  It may be possible to adjust this
approach using controlled current sources to inject the same
output current into the non-inverting node.  However, this 
seems equivalent to the second alternative.

2. Use a true differential resistance in the Spice extraction of
the [Rising Waveform] and [Falling Waveform] tables.  However, put
the equivalent single ended loads in the IBIS file - as an approximation.
This captures the voltage waveforms under correct Spice simulation
conditions using the correct differential load.  The fact that these
are documented based on single-ended loads is incorrect since the
mid-point voltage is usually not constant.  However, the IBIS
simultations should generate the same non-inverting and inverting
voltage waveforms when the device is terminated with a true
differential load.  (The accuracy of doing this may be simulator
dependent.)  I recommend this approach.


For I-V tables:

1. Do the Spice I-V extractions with the non-inverting output connected
to the mid-point voltage.  A refinement to this would be to connect the
non-inverting output to the equivalent single-ended load, as an approximation.
The I-V table may not capture exactly the inverting and non-inverting
interactions, but it should be a good approximation.  I recommend this
approach.

2. If there is significant interaction on I-V characteristics between the
non-inverting and inverting outputs, then this may work: Configure the
Spice source such that tbe non-inverting output has the same current as
the non-inverting output for I-V extractions by using a controlled current
source. This might provide a more accurate representation of the I-V
characteristics.

Subject: sweeping range...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hello all,

    I am trying to change the sweeping range for certain curves in
s2ibis2 to avoid non-convergence problems but I am finding myself
unsuccessful at it. Does someone know how to modify the sweeping range
for s2ibis2?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

At the end of your .spi file, you may see some statements like below:

VOUTS2I out 0 DC 0
VCCS2I vdd 0 DC 3
VGNDS2I gnd 0 DC 0
VINS2I in 0 DC 3.3
.TEMP 27
.OPTIONS INGOLD=2
.DC VOUTS2I -3 6 0.1       <---- Edit this line
.PRINT DC I(VOUTS2I)
.END

The above .DC statement is sweeping from -3V to +6V in 0.1V increment.
You should be editing the .spi file that *failed* the DC convergence.

Just to make sure it works with the new sweep range you define, you could
run spice standalone on this spi file. Something like this:

% hspice putout.spi > mynewfile.out

Subject: DesignCon Booth
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hello IBIS members,

As you may know, IBIS hosts a booth at DesignCon every year. What we
have been doing for the past year (or so) is a 10x10 booth with logo's
of all member companies prominently displayed.

I am in charge of this operation and here is how it works:

1) Every IBIS member company (approved by Bob Ross) is entitled to a
corporate logo sign on the booth backdrop.

2) The sign must be 8.5X11 inches.
3) The sign must be on a hard backing (foam board is typical)
4) It must be a general company logo (no product specific ads)
5) I will put velcro on the sign back for attaching to the booth.
6) You won't get the sign back.

Now, I have a large number of signs from last year from the following
companies. If you want me to use last years sign, please send me an
official looking email stating such. I will NOT put up any logo's that I
don't have authorization for.

Mentor Graphics (Off red on white background)
Xilinx                         (Black and off-red on white background,
but it has a lot of aliasing in the characters)
National Semi         (white on blue background)
Hyperlynx                (light blue on white background)
Veribest                    (black on white)
Incases                (purple and black on white)
TI                        (black on white)
HP                        (black on white, a lot of aliasing in the LOGO
(ie. looks very fuzzy))
APSIM            (many colors on white. Also looks pretty fuzzy)
cadence   (black and red on white)
Cisco            (many colors on white. looks good)
NESA        (black and blue on white)
Viewlogic    (red and black on white)
NC                (white on red in white)
INTEL      (blue on white)
Compaq    (red on white, looks a little fuzzy)
Cypress    (black on white)

My personal recommendation, if you don't remember what you sign looked
like last year, send me a new one.

regards,
jon

Michael, glad that you didn't try to open the 'exe' file.  As you suspected,
it is one of the viruses running rampant and I am in the process of clearing
it from my machine.  Sorry once again.  (I guess some people just have too
much time on their hands)

Thomas,

Are the attached files for real, or have you been infected by one of the
Viruses running rampant?  Since I suspect the latter, I have not attempted
to open the file (WinZip does not recognize it as a self-extracting Zip
file).
