Our account is at $27,798 for Actual cash flow of $26,737 has been collected this year. A parser payment of $2,000 is expected and a payment to Mike LaBonte of $6,752 for reimbursement of Summit expenses is expected and should be debited for A payment for DesignCon will be adjusted for 2017 as well as any membership payments if made in We expect a new parser purchase, most likely with the transaction occurring in There should also be miscellaneous charges from SAE of about $1,500. There were about $1,300 in charges from SAE in 2015 for bank charges and other allocations. We have a large surplus, so this is not of concern. WEBSITE ADMINISTRATION Mike LaBonte reported no recent changes. The home page will start promoting DesignCon, but UBM has not sent the image for display yet. We should start promoting our Summit meeting on the webpage. MAILING LIST ADMINISTRATION Curtis Clark reported that everything is running smoothly. LIBRARY UPDATE 2016 IBIS Open Forum 6

Contact the IBIS Board for further details. QUALITY TASK GROUP Mike LaBonte reported that the group is meeting on Tuesdays at 8:00 a.m. PT. The group is focused on IBISCHK development for improving the quality of IBIS files. The IBISCHK6 user guide work in progress can be reviewed at: The Quality Task Group checklist and other documentation can be found at: ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY MODELING TASK GROUP Arpad Muranyi reported that the group is meeting regularly on Tuesdays at 12:00 p.m. PT. Arpad noted that the meeting on December 27, 2016 is cancelled. The group has finished reviewing several BIRDs and sent them back to the Open Forum. They will be discussing BIRD158, BIRD165 and BIRD166 in upcoming meetings. Task group material can be found at: INTERCONNECT TASK GROUP Michael Mirmak reported that the group is meeting on Wednesdays at 8:00 a.m. PT. The next meeting will be January 4, The group is reviewing draft 44 of the BIRD with some changes to introductory sections and figures. Task group material can be found at: EDITORIAL TASK GROUP Michael Mirmak reported that the group remains suspended. Arpad Muranyi asked where we stand on the ground cleanup issues. Bob Ross said that there is a lack of momentum and some terminology issues need to be decided. Arpad noted there are some BIRDs addressing some issues. Mike LaBonte said there was a document on the task group site, and he thought there were some issues still not addressed by BIRDs. Bob noted two issues. Some of the BIRDs pending are targeted for IBIS version 7.0, so we might 2016 IBIS Open Forum 8

9 hold off on voting on them. Some other BIRDs are targeted for Version 6.2, and those need more attention. Arpad asked if we could take care of the BIRDs that are out there and finish up the efforts. Bob said there are some changes in 6.2, but we have not decided where to draw the line on what will be addressed in Version 6.2 versus 7.0. Bob noted, for example, BIRD181, in the I-V tables, the terminology changes impact terminology throughout IBIS, so maybe that BIRD will need to be expanded. Walter Katz said that other than reviewing the BIRDs and passing them, he thought the only open issue was the discussion between Radek Biernacki and Bob. Arpad added that this topic is open for continued review in the ATM meetings. Mike noted we could continue discussions in the task groups, or we could entertain the idea of starting discussions in the Editorial meeting again. Arpad planned to put the discussion item at the top of the ATM task group agenda. Bob noted there was a proposal for a new keyword that needs further review. Task group material can be found at: NEW ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES - Second revision of IBIS Policies and Procedures Mike LaBonte reported that an IBIS Board meeting occurred on December 9, 2016 to discuss this. Some changes were made related to membership payment schedules and the effect on election of officers. A section was also added for termination of officers. The draft needs one more review by the board, then legal review by SAE before a vote by the IBIS membership. The document can be found at: BIRD184.2: MODEL_NAME AND SIGNAL_NAME RESTRICTION FOR POWER AND GND PINS Bob Ross reported that changes were made to Usage Rules to clarify that for a full component description, all pins on a component should be specified. A comment was also added to define pin_name. Bob noted he thought the BIRD was ready for a vote. Bob moved to vote on BIRD184.2 in the next IBIS Open Forum meeting. Walter Katz seconded the motion. There were no objections. BIRD185.2: SECTION 3 RESERVED WORD GUIDELINE UPDATE Bob Ross noted that the changes from to were only two minor punctuation changes. Other issues were determined to be addressed in other BIRDs. Bob moved to vote on BIRD185.2 in the next IBIS Open Forum meeting. Michael Mirmak seconded the motion. There were no objections IBIS Open Forum 9

10 Arpad Muranyi asked which IBIS version the BIRDs were targeted for. Bob responded that BIRD184.2 and BIRD185.2 are for Version 6.2. Arpad asked if a field could be added to the BIRD template for the targeted version. Bob thought we could mention this in the Open Forum meetings. Walter Katz proposed adding a note to the BIRD table on the IBIS website. Mike LaBonte noted there is a spreadsheet for the Editorial task group that contains this information. Michael commented that it is useful to document the intent of the BIRD author. Arpad said that it might be difficult to categorize this with options such as next minor version or next major version. Mike LaBonte thought this information could go in the Summary of Proposed Changes section of the BIRD template. Mike will take the discussion offline. BIRD187: FORMAT AND USAGE OUT CLARIFICATIONS Michael Mirmak reported that this BIRD clarifies text of the Format portion of IBIS 6.1 in Section 10.3 related to the Usage Out. This BIRD also relates to BUG183 of the parser. The phrase for Usage In and InOut is added to several subparameter descriptions. Walter Katz noted this BIRD clarifies the original intent of Format. Bob Ross added this BIRD should be targeted for IBIS 6.2. Walter moved to vote on BIRD187 in the next IBIS Open Forum meeting. Bob seconded the motion. Mike LaBonte asked why the description of Increment does not include language about Usage Out. This section will need further review. Mike will review the language of the section to see if any specific changes are needed [AR]. Walter withdrew the motion. Walter commented that Format is ignored for Usage Out parameters except for Table. The specification says specifically may be ignored. BIRD188: EXPANDED RX NOISE SUPPORT FOR AMI Michael Mirmak reported that this BIRD adds a more complete definition of Rx_noise by adding Rx_UniformNoise and an alternate name for Rx_Noise as Rx_GaussianNoise. Arpad Muranyi asked about the continued usage of Rx_Noise. Michael noted that the intent is for usage of Rx_Noise to be unofficially deprecated. Mike LaBonte noted we have precedence with Format, and the specification notes its usage is supported but not encouraged. Arpad asked if we need to support this in the long term. Walter Katz noted that there are many regression tests with Format, for instance, and those will be used for a long time. Bob said that including language stating that Rx_GaussianNoise is preferred is a good idea. Walter suggested changing permitted to recommended in the statement Rx-GaussianNoise is permitted as an alternate name for Rx_Noise in AMI_Version 6.2 and higher. Curtis Clark commented that use of Rx_Noise could be forced to be illegal in IBIS 6.2 or higher. Walter noted that this is difficult to support. Walter moved to vote on BIRD188 in the next IBIS Open Forum meeting with the discussed changes. Bob seconded the motion. There were no objections IBIS Open Forum 10

11 Bob commented that this BIRD is targeted for IBIS Version 6.2. Michael added that this BIRD could be for IBIS 7.0 if desired. BIRD147.4: BACK-CHANNEL SUPPORT Walter Katz moved to vote on BIRD147.4 in the next IBIS Open Forum meeting. Walter noted that this BIRD could be targeted for IBIS 7.0. Bob Ross noted that the BIRD has some dependency on BIRD186. Mike LaBonte also noted that the BIRD was recommended for approval by the ATM task group. Walter noted that Bob Miller would like to start creating some models that are compliant with the BIRD. Bob seconded the motion. There were no objections. BIRD186: FILE NAMING RULES Walter Katz moved to vote on BIRD186 in the next IBIS Open Forum meeting. Bob Ross recommended waiting on the vote until some additional sections of the specification are reviewed. Walter requested that Bob provide any comments before the next meeting. Walter withdrew his motion. BIRD125.1: MAKE IBIS-ISS AVAILABLE FOR IBIS PACKAGE MODELING Discussion was tabled. BIRD145.3: CASCADING IBIS I/O BUFFERS WITH [EXTERNAL CIRCUIT]S USING THE [MODEL CALL] KEYWORD Discussion was tabled. BIRD158.3: AMI TOUCHSTONE ANALOG BUFFER MODELS Walter Katz moved to un-table BIRD Bob Ross seconded the motion. Walter said this BIRD offered a simple way to support on-die S-parameter models. He noted that one objection was related to a common mode issue, and that Radek Biernacki and Walter will make a change and submit BIRD BIRD161.1: SUPPORTING INCOMPLETE AND BUFFER-ONLY [COMPONENT] DESCRIPTIONS Discussion was tabled. BIRD163: INSTANTIATING AND CONNECTING [EXTERNAL CIRCUIT] PACKAGE MODELS WITH [CIRCUIT CALL] 2016 IBIS Open Forum 11

12 Discussion was tabled. BIRD164: ALLOWING PACKAGE MODELS TO BE DEFINED IN [EXTERNAL CIRCUIT] Discussion was tabled. BIRD165: PARAMETER PASSING IMPROVEMENTS FOR [EXTERNAL CIRCUIT]S Discussion was tabled. BIRD166: RESOLVING PROBLEMS WITH REDRIVER INIT FLOW Walter Katz moved to un-table BIRD166. Michael Mirmak seconded the motion. Walter said the IBIS-AMI flow in IBIS 6.1 is incorrect for redrivers, leaving the downstream Rx without the required inputs. He noted that Fangyi Rao has asked for an additional impulse response, but the topic has been dormant since April. Due to the issue, customers are getting different results from different EDA tools. Walter said Vladimir Dmitriev-Zdorov might propose further enhancements in a separate BIRD. Arpad Muranyi said this would be discussed in ATM meetings. Bob Ross suggested this should be an IBIS 6.2 change. BIRD181.1: I-V TABLE CLARIFICATIONS Discussion was tabled. IBISCHK6 PARSER AND BUG STATUS Bob Ross said IBISCHK was released 2 weeks ago, and that BUG 184 still required classification. Mike LaBonte showed BUG 184. Bob said he had noted some required corrections, such as changing eda.org to ibis.org, which he would make. He noted that we had added new AMI Reserved_Parameters in IBIS 6.1, and those then automatically became illegal for use as Model_Specific parameters. However, the parser does not report them as errors or warnings. Mike LaBonte noted that DLLs were not impacted because it receives a flattened list of all parameters. Bob said this would be fixed in a future version of the parser. It was not yet decided if it would be fixed in version 6.1.4, but that was likely because we have three other bugs waiting, and two more potential bugs to be submitted. Bob moved to classify BUG 184 as Moderate severity and Medium priority. Michael Mirmak seconded. Without objection the classification was accepted. NEW TECHNICAL ISSUES None. NEXT MEETING The next IBIS Open Forum teleconference meeting will be held January 6, Votes on 2016 IBIS Open Forum 12

13 BIRD147.4, BIRD184.2, BIRD185.2 and BIRD188 are scheduled. The following IBIS Open Forum teleconference meeting will tentatively be held January 27, Mike LaBonte noted that this was our last Open Forum for the year, and he thanked all for their contributions. Arpad Muranyi moved to adjourn. Michael Mirmak seconded. The meeting adjourned. ======================================================================== NOTES IBIS CHAIR: Mike LaBonte IBIS-AMI Modeling Specialist, Signal Integrity Software 6 Clock Tower Place, Suite 250 Maynard, MA VICE CHAIR: Lance Wang (978) lwang@iometh.com President/CEO, IO Methodology, Inc.
