In order to bring the theory of embedded computer architectures into practice, a practical assignment has been developed where students design digital hardware using the functional hardware description language CλaSH. The assignment focuses on specifying the structure of FIR filters and analyzing the resulting hardware. By working through the assignment, students gain insight in the use of high...

Many recent standards in telecommunications field are based on CDMA spread spectrum transmissions. In this paper, we describe a methodology for top-down design, modeling, and simulation of CDMA transmitter system using hardware description language VHDL-AMS. Details of VHDL-AMS implementation for each elementary block are shown. This paper together with the developed library of CDMA transmitter...

The simulation of physical-layer communication systems often requires long execution times. This is due to the nature of the Monte Carlo simulation. To obtain a valid result by producing enough errors, the number of bits or symbols being simulated must signiÞcantly exceed the inverse of the bit error rate of interest. This often results in hours or even days of execution using a personal comput...

HML (Hardware ML) is an innovative hardware description language based on the functional programming language SML (Standard ML). HML is a high-order language that supports polymorphic functions. HML's advanced type system provides many constructs that are important to hardware descriptions but are lacking in the more mature, widely used hardware description languages such as VHDL and Verilog. I...

In the literature, it is generally overlooked that designers use functional models more frequently than behavioral or gate-level models. In functional modeling, the functionality of one or more components, like arithmetic/logic units, memories, and counters, are described as separate concurrent blocks. We present an algorithm, called Functional Synthesis Algorithm (FSA), for synthesis from thes...

We propose a high-level hardware description environment which aims at reducing the gap between application design and the well-established hardware description frameworks. Our motivations rise from an explicit demand for design representation languages at a higher abstraction level with respect to the ones currently adopted by hardware system engineering. A candidate solution can be identified...

This paper describes a novel modeling methodology for electrothermal effects in large mixed-signal circuits. It is accomplished by developing analog event-driven electrothermal and thermal models in an analog hardware description language (AHDL). The large-scale mixedsignal circuits represented by the analog event-driven models can be analyzed more efficiently than using standard analog models.
