Minutes for P1500 Working Group Meeting
July 24, 2003

Fidel Muradali

General p1500 working group teleconference. Main purpose was to check if CTL can handle partial wrappers.

Minutes started late -

12:40 PST

Francisco - Document D0.7 reviews are due August 3rd. 1 review received.
Yervant asked if compliance chapter was done - response was that there are some yet outstanding issues with the rules of chapter 17.
Rohit proceeds to review and explain the partial wrapper CTL. This is pretty much a "line by line" explanation of the code. The intent is to evaluate if the description is complete enough for the standard. Using the CTL, the approach is to reconstruct figure 10.31 (D0.7) and its test mode behavior.

1:40 PST

Rohit completes the example. Given this example, there was agreement that CTL can handle partial wrappers.

1:45 - 2:00pm PST

2:00 PST

Karim begins chapter 17 rule discussion (17.1.1a)
Regarding specifics of cell operation (e.g. Bi-di, differential), Mike R. recalled that a decision was to eliminate such rules and just provide a CTL description. CTAG could not recall the exact decision (Mike has forwarded/posted the relevant minutes in a subsequent e-mail Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2003). Yervant suggested to review the rules until the resolution is figured out.
Grady and others suggested to strike specifics such as "differential" from the rule (e.g. try to say chip PI/PO). That is, avoid pad implementation detail and try to find a more generic wording. The standard is behavior oriented and not structure oriented.
Francisco suggested to resolve context during this meeting and we'll find a way to word things later.
Mike R. questioned if the discussion was really a hardware issue and should be pulled into that section rather than compliancy.

2:30 PST - Fidel exit - new minute taker for last 30mins?..
