Thanks, VERY interesting. Mentor definitely wants to be part of any technical discussions. Let me know when/where/how we can contribute. The document looks weird: a LOT of blank pages and numerous missing images -Intentional? Or broken document? Regards Per Viklund Mentor Graphics Corp.

JPCA is submitting this document for international adoption to the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Committee 91 for consideration and approval. I anticipate that there will be discussion of how the US and IPC will handle active silicon inside the circuit board at the upcoming Apex technical meetings. Please review this, as this is a new blend - circuit boards and electronic components in the same spec. Denny (See attached file: 3.1-090702(Shibata-Embedded)_JPCA EB01-2nd Ed.pdf)
