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

   - Review of minutes for July 31, 2003
    Accepted as written.

   - Announcements
              	EIA Call for Patent Disclosure
    No company disclosed a patent.

   - AR Review
  Lynne Green and Bob Haller to submit revised BIRD 82. DONE
  Bob Haller, upload the IBIS test cases. OPEN

   - Opens for new items

  Mike Labonte  Summarized the how he handles bounced Ibis Quality email 
messages. If he receives 2 or more bounced emails  (undeliverable email) 
the user may be removed from the list. There is considerable latitude 
given , for instances if the mailbox is filled or the user is accessible 
by other means.

   - Detailed Documentation review

Latest versions of documentation were put up on the web site.
this includes meeting minutes and

IQ_4_5_wave_proc_8_12_03.txt
IQ_4_3_vt_curves.txt
	
  Vt_Curves.txt document has been re-formatted to be similar to Mike's 
IQ_4_5_wave_proc.txt document. The vt_curves.txt document needs to be 
reordered by level.

	-VT_curves.txt

VT and ramp data needs to be consistent. VT curves should be monotonic 
except for miller capacitance (pre_shoot) and overshoot. No decision if 
this should be a requirement. Significant effort to determine the 
appropriate wording to describe the ibis parser check for VT to IV curves.

The combined High State DC IV characteristic is defined as the sum of 
the [Power_clamp], [Ground_clamp], and [Pull_up] IV tables (ground
relative). Similarly, the combined Low State DC IV characteristic is 
defined as the sum of the [Power_clamp], [Ground_clamp], and [Pull_down] 
IV tables (ground relative).  The voltage associated with the 
intersection of the V_Fixture, R_Fixture, and Rdut (if present) load 
line with the respective combined high/low DC IV characteristic should 
be within 2% of the VT table DC endpoints based on the VT table DC range.

There was a discussion about sub models and dynamic clamps. these are 
not cross checked by the parser (VT to IV curve check).

Ramp data  di dt must be positive. Some of this detailed documentation 
has already been captured  in IQ_4_4_ramp_data.txt. Need to avoid any 
duplication.

Bob Ross suggested we replace all references of "iv curve" with "iv 
table" to be consistent with the ibis specification.

AR- Change vt_curves.txt to vt_tables.txt update and post. BH/BK

   - Plans and Schedule for next meeting
    Finish review of VT_curves.txt (IQ_4_3_vt_tables.txt).
