VHDL-AMS based modeling and simulation of mixed-technology microsystems: a tutorial
نویسندگان
چکیده
This tutorial paper describes different approaches to modeling and simulation of mixed-technology microsystems that consist of electrical circuits connected to subsystems described by partial differential equations (PDEs), which is a typical situation in many modern integrated circuits and systems. We target this paper towards the audience use of VHDL-AMS (a hardware description language suitable for modeling and simulation of such systems). We describe existing approaches to modeling such systems and present three examples accompanied by their VHDLAMS implementations and simulation results. r 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

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 کاملAnalyzing Performance of VHDL-AMS for Switch Level Modeling and Simulation
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 resp...

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.
