چکیده
The past 30 years have seen an enormous growth in the power and sophistication of digital design tools, while progress in analog tools has been much more modest. Digital tools use many abstractions to allow them to validate implementations match the functional models, and the composition of cells matches the composition of the functional models. While there are many reasons why this is more difficult for analog circuits, it can be done. To prove this point, this talk presents how to leverage the fact that the result surface of analog designs are smooth to create ways to formally validate analog models to instances, define analog fault models, and even efficiently explore the effect of process variations. Introduction Biomedical and sensing applications present new challenges for IC and system designers. In this session, five papers representing advances in these areas are presented.

متن کاملA Transformational Approach to VHDL and CDFG Based High-Level Synthesis: a Case Study - Custom Integrated Circuits Conference, 1995., Proceedings of the IEEE 1995
In this paper, a novel multi-target design methodology based on the concepts of transformational design, and its application to the interlaced-to-progressive scan conversion (IPSC) problem, are discussed. Starting from a single high-level behavioral specification in VHDL a direction detector used in IPSC adgorithms is mapped onto both a custom implementation and a programmable video signall pro...

A new simulator was created to facilitate vertical circuit design integration. Written in Objective C, it readily allows the incorporation of new system/intermediate/device level models and modifications to the simulation algorithms. The analog simulation capability of the new simulator is demonstrated. A simulator model is presented and the new simulator’s implementation of that model is shown...
