Bob moved to approve the minutes with the noted change. Lance Wang seconded the motion. There were no objections. Randy reviewed ARs from the previous meeting. 1. Mike LaBonte will rename Working Directories as Site Map on the website [AR]. Mike reported that he did this during the last meeting. ANNOUNCEMENTS, CALL FOR ADDITIONAL AGENDA ITEMS None. MEMBERSHIP STATUS AND TREASURER'S REPORT Bob Ross reported that membership stands at 24 members and the treasury balance is $70,972 including a recent sponsorship payment. There are a few payments to make for the balance of the Sherwood hotel payment for Taipei and the website charges. Mike LaBonte noted he already received a payment from SAE of $ for the website charges. Bob has an AR with SAE to provide a membership list of people to invoice for 2016 membership dues [AR]. Bob noted we need to discuss if the membership for 2016 will stay at $900. Also, Rita Gerber, our SAE financial contact is retiring. Phyllis Gross is her replacement. Bob will begin working with her for invoicing. Bob noted we should be up to date with SAE on financials except for the previously mentioned payments as well as a payment to the parser developer. Lance Wang noted that we still owe something to the Parkyard hotel in Shanghai. We are waiting for a payment from Cadence directly to the hotel before finding out the final bill. Bob noted that we essentially broke even on all the last four summits IBIS Open Forum 6

7 WEBSITE ADMINISTRATION Mike LaBonte reported that he made a few changes that relate to items to be discussed in the rest of the meeting. He noted that he is going to take down the contents at eda.org and set it up to redirect to the new website. Sometime later this year eda.org will shut down permanently. MAILING LIST ADMINISTRATION Curtis Clark reported that there have been some address changes. Things are generally going smoothly with Freelists. He has not looked further into using the available ibis.org addresses. LIBRARY UPDATE Mike LaBonte reported that the library page has been updated by Anders Ekholm. The new page is wrapped in the IBIS frame. It also uses a shaded table format. All the links have been checked. Yan Liang asked if he should inform the IBIS librarian if updates are needed. Mike encouraged this. INTERNATIONAL/EXTERNAL ACTIVITIES - Conferences None. - Press Update None. SUMMIT PLANNING AND STATUS - EPEPS Summit Review EPEPS took place October 25-28, 2015 in San Jose, CA. IBIS hosted a Summit meeting on Wednesday, October 28, 2015 in the afternoon at the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel. Mike LaBonte thanked Bob Ross for taking the lead in organizing the Summit. Bob Ross reported that the event was very successful. He planned for about 20 attendees and there were about 34 attendees. He invited many EPEPS attendees. We received an invitation to host a Summit in conjunction with EPEPS 2016 in San Diego, CA. Bob thanked the sponsors Keysight Technologies, Mentor Graphics and Synopsys. Walter Katz added that about 300 people total attended EPEPS. Mike added that we got good support from EPEPS including advertising of the IBIS Summit in the EPEPS agenda. - Asian IBIS Summit (Shanghai) Review The Shanghai meeting was held Monday, November 9, 2015 at the Parkyard hotel. Huawei Technologies was the major sponsor along with co-sponsors Cadence Design Systems, IO Methodology, Keysight Technologies, Synopsys, Teledyne LeCroy and ZTE Corporation. Mike reported that we had 94 attendees. He thought it was a great meeting overall. About half the presentations were in English and half in Chinese. The discussion and questions were better for the presentations in Chinese. There was good discussion after the presentations IBIS Open Forum 7

8 During a lunch conversation, some of the vendor companies expressed interest in expanding the Summit. Most other IBIS Summits are co-located with other conferences. The vendors are interested in having a greater presence. There is interest in having another entity host an event co-located with the IBIS Summit. Mike also thanked Bob for his help organizing all the Summits in Asia. Lance Wang noted that during the discussion time, they polled how many people were using IBIS-AMI models and the Touchstone 2 format. A number of companies in China are using IBIS-AMI models. Issues they have are quality of the models. People were asking how to validate and correlate models with the real system. A Marvell attendee shared how Marvell makes IBIS-AMI models. The process they have is to ask the algorithm designers to make the IBIS-AMI models. The designer is responsible for correlating the results with the systems. An Ericsson attendee commented they have a process to validate the models they receive, however they are ok to do the IBIS-AMI TX models, but it is hard to correlate the RX models. IBIS-AMI models give the system designer opportunity to work on simulation, however no companies use IBIS-AMI models for signoff of SerDes systems. Bob asked Lance how many vendor tables there were. Lance noted there were 4. - Asian IBIS Summit (Taipei) Review The Taipei meeting was held Friday, November 13, 2015 at the Sherwood hotel. Mike noted there were 73 attendees. He thought the meeting went well. There were some of the same presentations as the Shanghai Summit. There were three vendor tables. Lance noted that fewer companies in Taipei were using IBIS-AMI models than in Shanghai. There were many questions about correlation and validation of standard IBIS models. There were also comments that the IBIS cookbook needs to be updated, including for power aware models and IBIS-AMI models. Bob thanked the sponsors IO Methodology, Keysight Technologies and Synopsys. - Asian IBIS Summit (Tokyo) Review The Tokyo meeting was held Monday, November 16, Mike reported that in the morning before the Summit there was an IBIS workshop on basic IBIS with about 90 attendees. He noted there is an IBIS Promotions Working Group within JEITA that helped to organize the event. Mike commented that the relationship between IBIS and JEITA is good. Bob thanked the co-sponsors ANSYS Corporation, Cadence Design Systems, Cybernet Systems, Keysight Technologies, Mentor Graphics Corporation, Toshiba and Zuken. - DesignCon 2016 IBIS Summit DesignCon will be held January 19-21, Friday, January 22, 2016 is scheduled for the Summit meeting. Mike reported that the meeting room will be in the Hyatt in the Bayshore room. The final agreement with UBM has been signed. Keysight is a sponsor. Bob noted that the first announcement will go out today. - European IBIS Summit at SPI 2016 An IBIS Summit will be co-hosted with the IEEE Workshop on Signal and Power Integrity (SPI) IBIS Open Forum 8

9 The Summit will take place on May 11, 2016 in Turin, Italy. Mike noted that some logistics are being worked through for getting an invoice and making payment. Sponsorship opportunities for all upcoming IBIS summits are available, with sponsors receiving free mentions in the minutes, agenda, and other announcements. 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 has not met in a while due to the Summits travel. He noted that ibischk is about to be released and a user guide update is needed for it. An updated spreadsheet of messages is also needed. 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. December 1, 2015 will be the next meeting. The group is discussing the new Redriver flow BIRD and the ground cleanup in the specification. He requested those attending the meeting to familiarize themselves on the ground issues in the specification to help with the cleanup. Task group material can be found at: INTERCONNECT TASK GROUP Arpad Muranyi reported that the group is meeting on Wednesdays at 8:00 a.m. PT. The next meeting is December 2, The last meeting was short due to the absence of Michael Mirmak. Mike LaBonte noted that there was a presentation from Walter Katz on the interconnect modeling proposal given in the Summits. There was a question about modeling of chip capacitors as well as modeling of multi-chip packages. Mike noted that the chip capacitors could be modeled as part of the package. Walter commented that multi-chip packages will be modeled in an extension of EBD. Task group material can be found at: IBIS Open Forum 9

10 NEW ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES - Second revision of IBIS Policies and Procedures Mike LaBonte reported that the draft Policies and Procedures update is on the website for review. The document can be found at: Mike noted that we do need a vote on the IBIS dues, so we should do this in the next meeting. Bob Ross added that we are getting some more financial information from SAE next week. There is probably no reason to make a change to the dues amount. Bob moved to schedule a vote on the dues amount in the next Open Forum teleconference. Radek Biernacki seconded the motion. There were no objections. BIRD179: NEW IBIS-AMI RESERVED PARAMETER SPECIAL_PARAM_NAMES Arpad Muranyi noted that there has been no new discussion on the BIRD. Walter Katz moved to vote on the BIRD in the next Open Forum meeting. Arpad Muranyi seconded the motion. There were no objections. BIRD125.1: MAKE IBIS-ISS AVAILABLE FOR IBIS PACKAGE MODELING BIRD128.2: ALLOW AMI_PARAMETERS_OUT TO PASS AMI_PARAMETERS_IN DATA ON CALLS TO AMI_GETWAVE BIRD145.3: CASCADING IBIS I/O BUFFERS WITH [EXTERNAL CIRCUIT]S USING THE [MODEL CALL] KEYWORD BIRD147: BACK-CHANNEL SUPPORT BIRD158.3: AMI TOUCHSTONE ANALOG BUFFER MODELS BIRD161.1: SUPPORTING INCOMPLETE AND BUFFER-ONLY [COMPONENT] DESCRIPTIONS 2015 IBIS Open Forum 10

11 BIRD163: INSTANTIATING AND CONNECTING [EXTERNAL CIRCUIT] PACKAGE MODELS WITH [CIRCUIT CALL] BIRD164: ALLOWING PACKAGE MODELS TO BE DEFINED IN [EXTERNAL CIRCUIT] BIRD165: PARAMETER PASSING IMPROVEMENTS FOR [EXTERNAL CIRCUIT]S BIRD166: RESOLVING PROBLEMS WITH REDRIVER INIT FLOW IBISCHK6 PARSER AND BUG STATUS Bob noted that ibischk source code was received before the last meeting, but it was decided to test the code further before release. Bob has checked the code and found several bugs. He recommends releasing the release, noting several bugs to be fixed. BUG151, BUG155, BUG159, BUG160, BUG161 and BUG162 have been fixed in the ibischk code. They will be documented as closed as of today. Mike LaBonte noted that Michael Mirmak has encouraged use of bug tracker software such as Mantis. We might want to move to something like this in the future. Mike asked about BUG163, which was reported by the parser developer. Bob noted that the parser developer has fixed this bug in his code, but he is waiting on the release of that code until further bugs can be looked at. Bob summarized the new bug, BUG164. Radek Biernacki commented that there should be a warning issued, not an error. Bob noted that he thought this case is legal in IBIS 6.0. Radek noted that Usage Dep was not legal in IBIS 6.0. It was introduced in IBIS 6.1. Bob thought the 6.1 parser should continue to issue an error if Usage Dep is in an IBIS 6.0 file. After further discussion Bob determined that this was not a bug, and the bug should be classified as not a bug. After further discussion, it was determined to still be a bug. Bob moved to classify the bug as Moderate severity, Medium priority and Open status. Walter Katz seconded the motion. There were no objections. Bob summarized BUG165. Walter commented that this is a useful check for the parser to perform. Walter moved to classify the bug as Moderate severity, Medium priority and Open status. Bob seconded the motion. There were no objections IBIS Open Forum 11

12 Bob summarized BUG166. The.ami extension required for an [Algorithmic Model] file is not checked. Walter moved to classify the bug as Moderate severity, Medium priority and Open status. Bob seconded the motion. There were no objections. Bob summarized BUG167. Some errors are not being reported for PAM4 models with thresholds either missing or incorrect. Walter moved to classify the bug as Moderate severity, Medium priority and Open status. Bob seconded the motion. There were no objections. Radek and Walter thanked Bob for his detailed testing of the new parser. Mike noted that there are no cases where the parser calls a good IBIS model bad. Bob moved to release the parser on the website. Walter seconded the motion. There were no objections. Bob will send the parser source code to the parser licensees [AR]. Mike will update the bug page with the classifications of BUG164, BUG165, BUG166 and BUG167 [AR]. Bob discussed payment of the parser developer. Bob moved to ask the parser developer to send an invoice for payment. Walter seconded the motion. There were no objections. Radek asked if we should expect an update to the parser to fix the new bugs. Bob responded that we do expect an update to address the new bugs. NEW TECHNICAL ISSUES None. NEXT MEETING The next IBIS Open Forum teleconference meeting will be held December 18, A vote is scheduled on the IBIS dues for 2016 and on BIRD179. The following IBIS Open Forum teleconference meeting will be held January 8, Radek Biernacki moved to adjourn. Arpad Muranyi seconded the motion. ======================================================================== NOTES IBIS CHAIR: Mike LaBonte mlabonte@sisoft.com IBIS-AMI Modeling Specialist, Signal Integrity Software 6 Clock Tower Place, Suite 250 Maynard, MA VICE CHAIR: Lance Wang (978) lwang@iometh.com 2015 IBIS Open Forum 12
