Date: 2nd Dec 2009 Dave Cronauer, Synopsys Martin O'Leary, Cadence Ian Wilson, Berkeley DA Marq Kole, NXP Ken Bakalar, Mentor Graphics Sri Chandra, Freescale Dave Miller, Freescale Graham Helwig, ASTC Kevin Cameron Apologies for the delay in the minutes, they were overlooked. Discussed upcoming SV merge. * We will extend SV to include the analog extensions (instead of merging that we did with 1364 into AMS). This is much simpler. As a start Graham will start looking at the grammar of SV and AMS. Karen has sent across the BNF chapter only of P1800-2009. * Might be easier to do a simple extension (with additional chapters) identifying the mixed signal extensions and appropriate extensions to the grammar. * Since AMS is integrated with 1364 (which is a subset of SV) the same integration mechanism would work for P1800 also. However P1800 has newer objects that might need to be considered in the mixed signal context * SV scheduling mechanism, new objects introduced in SV need to be considered as appropriate for usage in AMS * Discussion on working on SV-AMS merger as P1800 subcommittee for it to be accepted by IEEE/P1800. The initial analysis and background work to be done within Accellera along with parallel activities of AMS assertion related extensions and other AMS enhancements (power supply etc). The SV-AMS final integration version is planned to be released as P1800 standard (dot or contained). Intermediate Verilog-AMS releases for other aspects from within Accellera. * The new PAR for P1800-2013 includes AMS integration. Plan to discuss this item with Karen and understand the details of this goal in that PAR. Also discussed the following Mantis items: Item 820: - discipline compatibility where abstol's differ. We need to determine/detail how we want to resolve these types of disciplines. One possible solution is to just use the tighter abstol. Item 825: Variable domain. This is a little ambiguous and needs to be addressed. If a variable is assigned during its declaration, what domain does it belong to. Item 935: Branch indexing. Currently there is the limitation that the index to a branch must be constant (literal/parameter/genvar). At this point we don't see a need to change this. We can re-investigate this requirement post SV merge. Item 934: Remove restrictions on analog operators. Was determined that this was not critical. Move to suspended - we will re-investigate post SV merge. Item 845: - Restrict usage of type of analog variable that can be used in 'assign' statements. Was felt that all that is needed is a simple sentence in the LRM indicating the danger of using continuous analog variables in assign statements. Item: 814 - Support for global variables using dynamic parameter. Martin to re-investigate post SV merge to see if this request is addressed with the new SV features. Next call will be Jan 2010. Agenda will be sent out prior with specific date/time.
