Analyzing Performance of VHDL-AMS for Switch Level Modeling and Simulation
نویسنده
چکیده
VHDL-AMS (IEEE 1076.1-1999), an extension to the VHDL, is considered to be a unified language for digital analog, mixed-signal modeling [1],[2]. Although traditionally AMS language is commonly used for behavioral modeling, in this paper special emphasis is given to modeling of mosfet based devices at switch level. We have analyzed VHDL-AMS for switch level modeling on basis of accuracy and response time. It is demonstrated by comparing parameters of CMOS inverter, universal gates and full adder. For all circuits implemented at switch level mosfet used is level-3 MOS Empirical model validated in SystemVision 5.9 from Mentor Graphics Keywords—VHDL-AMS, modeling, MOSFET, simulation

Behavioral Modeling and Simulation of Semiconductor Devices and Circuits Using VHDL-AMS
During the past few years, a lot of work has been done on behavioral models and simulation tools. But a need for modeling strategy still remains. The VHDL-AMS language supports the description of analog electronic circuits using Ordinary Differential Algebraic Equations (ODAEs), in addition to its support for describing discrete-event systems. For VHDL-AMS to be useful to the analog design ...
متن کاملBehavioral modeling for high-level synthesis of analog and mixed-signal systems from VHDL-AMS
High-level synthesis is highly demanded for managing the complexity of analog and mixed-signal system designs. However, synthesis methods are currently in their infancy. The absence of a high-level specification notation is an important limitation for the development of efficient synthesis methods. This paper presents a behavioral model and a VHDL-AMS subset for high-level synthesis of analog a...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of AMS Circuit Simulation in VHDL-AMS and SystemC-AMS
Mixed-Signal extensions to VHDL and SystemC languages have been developed in order to provide a unifying environment for the modeling and verification of AMS designs at different levels of abstraction. In this paper, we model the behavior of a set of benchmark designs in VHDL-AMS and SystemC-AMS and compare the simulation run-time with the low level HSPICE simulation run-time. The various exper...
متن کاملVHDL-AMS Modeling and Compilation for Parallel Mixed-Mode Simulation
In this paper a survey of recommended VHDLAMS modeling practices for effective parallel simulation is given. Also, a need for extension of VHDL-AMS standard is considered in order to enable the designer to influence parallel simulation performance during the model development. Mixed-mode circuit partitioning algorithms that should be applied during the model compilation are presented.

Abstract: The size, complexity and performances of modern wireless communication circuits are getting more and more challenging whereas marketing time and cost must be reduced as much as possible. In order to fill the current lack in CAD tools, this work is dedicated to the mixed simulation of complete communication systems driven by digital and digitally modulated RF signals. This paper descri...
