Dear Colleague:
The Design Automation Standards Committee of the IEEE Computer Society
invites you to become a member of the balloting group for IEEE P1510, Draft
Standard for Chip Hierarchical Design System Technical Data (CHDStd) Design
Automation
SCOPE AND PURPOSE
The Design Automation Standard for Chip Hierarchical Design System
Technical Data (CHDStd) is an EDA representation of an EE product or
portion of an EE product implemented as an integrated circuit (IC) chip,
including the hierarchical information for logical and physical
design. CHDStd will include the interface to cell, macro, and chip-core
library information; physical chip internal design, manufacturing
properties and design aids; and interface to packaging (physical chip and
higher level chip integration packaging such as MCM and PCA/PCB). CHDStd
will be interoperable with current EDA chip design and implementation
standards.
The purpose of CHDStd standard is to provide an interoperable comprehensive
electronic design automation (EDA) standard for information supporting
design, synthesis, verification, and integration with manufacturing for
integrated-circuit based electrical and electronic (EE) products. Complex
ICs require greater design productivity and a more reliable, integrated,
and interoperable EDA standard than provided by today's EDA standards.
This method is aimed at providing efficient, accurate, and tool independent
IC product information suitable for large complex chip designs such as
structured custom microprocessors.

(If you are not IEEE member, you can still be part of the balloting
group and provide comments on the draft but your vote is not counted)
BALLOTER'S RESPONSIBILITY
If you choose to be part of the balloting group, you will have 60 days
to review and respond to the draft. In order for the sponsor ballot to
be valid, at least 75% of the ballots sent must be returned by the
specified date. For that reason, voters have an obligation to respond.
BALLOTING PERIOD
At the current time, the working group plans to have a draft prepared
for ballot by the end of the first quarter 1998. The balloting period
will occur approximately one month after this date and last for a
60-day period. Please supply the correct mailing address for this
time. Please do not join the balloting group if you will be
unavailable during this period.
