Behavioural Simulation with a Simulation Backplane
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Simulation Backplane1 is a simulation environment which allows the integration of various simulators to perform mixed-signal and mixed-level simulation. The simulation backplane allows CAD designers to simulate designs which consist of various parts at different levels of abstraction. The Alfa Simulation Backplane has been described elsewhere2, 6. This paper describes a behavioural simulator, abs, which has been developed to integrate into the backplane.

AN 596: Modeling and Design Considerations for 10 Gbps Connectors
This application note discusses the impact of backplane connectors on a 10 Gbps serial channel performance. It demonstrates how toproject the connector’s impact at the system level with the help of an industrial simulation software. Design considerations of the backplane connector and pin field are discussed to minimize the connector’s impact and to meet the channel’s signal integrity requireme...
متن کاملDistributed Network Simulations Using the Dynamic Simulation Backplane
We present an approach for creating distributed, component-based, simulations of communication networks by interconnecting models of sub-networks drawn from different network simulation packages. This approach supports rapid construction of simulations for large networks by reusing existing models and software, and fast execution using parallel discrete event simulation techniques. A dynamic si...

متن کاملInterface Design of VHDL Simulation for Hardware-Software Cosimulation
To perform cosimulation, an interface design of VHDL simulation is needed. This interface is responsible for communicating packets between any VHDL simulator and the cosimulation backplane, PeaCE, which is a Ptolemy extension as codesign environment. The interface also manages the simulation for correct timed cosimulation. By the automatic interface generation mechanism, the interface is genera...
متن کاملA 10Gbps Analog Adaptive Equalizer and Pulse Shaping Circuit for Backplane Interface
The speed of serial interface through a backplane channel suffers severe ISI (Inter Symbol Interference) caused by the limited bandwidth of the channel. In order to overcome the bandwidth limit, a pulse shaping circuit or an adaptive equalizer is used. This paper presents the comparison between two approaches. Prototype chip is designed for 10Gbps serial data communication through a 34-inch tra...
