Top - Down Design of Mixed - Signal Circuits Ken
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract — With mixed-signal designs becoming more complex and time-to-market windows shrinking, designers cannot hope to keep up unless they change the way they design. They must adopt a more formal process for design and verification: topdown design. It involves more than simply a cursory design of the circuit block diagram before designing the blocks. Rather, it also involves developing and following a formal verification plan and an incremental and methodical approach for transforming the design from a abstract block diagram to a detailed transistor-level implementation.

We present an application tool dedicated to superconducting circuits design. Based on the use of VHDL-AMS language on System Vision software, we developed an innovating approach with top-down methodology to specify the RSFQ circuits. We take the example of a sigma-delta bandpass ADC and show the different processes used to design it. The demonstration shows the complete system in mixed signal l...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Substrate Noise in Mixed-Signal Circuits Applied to a Special VCO
The mixed-signal circuits with both analog and digital blocks on a single chip have wide applications in communication and RF circuits. Integrating these two blocks can cause serious problems especially in applications requiring fast digital circuits and high performance analog blocks. Fast switching in digital blocks generates a noise which can be introduced to analog circuits by the common su...
