All,
Here are the minutes from the LRM Committee
Meeting of 21 June 2007.
attendants:
Martin O'Leary - Cadence
Boris Troyanovsky - Tiburon
Patrick O'Halloran - Tiburon
Graham Helwig - STSC
Marq Kole - NXP Semiconductors
There was no update of the table model
text in the LRM, so that could not be reviewed.
On the donation of Verilog-AMS examples
from Synopsys the status of these examples is yet unclear. A this moment
they can be retrieved from the Synopsys website, for details see the email
message at http://www.eda-stds.org/verilog-ams/hm/1984.html. To verify
that the models are a good addition to the models already at the Verilog-AMS
website, we need to be able to review them, but at this moment not all
of the committee members are able to legally get these models. We will
ask Sri to contact Synopsys on this issue.
Marq is still working on providing test
benches with the updated examples from the Verilog-AMS website. The models.tar.gz
archive on the public documents part of the website has in the meantime
been improved. We want minimal test benches, but they have to show correct
model behavior; support for Spectre and Hspice syntax seems to be sufficient
for the moment. However, as there are more than 70 examples, this will
take some time.
Patrick asked to have a draft of the
complete LRM 2.3 available so that implementers can get started. This seems
appropriate as soon as all LRM chapters that add or change functionality
have been updated. At this moment that is the table model section and the
Chapter 11 on compiler directives. The annexes are not as important, whith
the possible exception of Annex A. It seems reasonable that as these are
updated that a first draft of the 2.3 LRM is created. Patrick recalled
that Geoffrey used to do that with LRM 2.2 - can someone do that for the
upcoming LRM as well?
On Annex A: Graham has not updated the
BNF for a while. For chapters 7 and 10 there are documents available on
the Verilog-AMS public documents site that detail the impact of changes
to these chapter to other parts of the LRM including the syntax. No specific
date was fixed for a new update of the BNF.
Action Points:
- Sri to contact Synopsys on review
of the examples.
- Marq to develop test benches for the
examples from the Verilog-AMS website.
- Patrick to update the table model
section in Chapter 10 of the LRM 2.3 draft.
- Graham to update the BNF in Annex
A.
- Marq to update Annex E for review.
Next LRM committee telephone conference
on Thursday, June 28, 06:30 AM Pacific.
- review of update of section 10.20
(table models).
- review of update of Annex E (SPICE
compatibility).
Cheers,
Marq
