  • Veikko Loukusa
چکیده

An application of behavioral modeling for mixed-signal test generation and applied results are presented. It is shown that test debugging can be provided in the verification test system before silicon by utilizing simulated behavioral mixed-signal models. Due to the behavioral modeling technique, the computational performance was enhanced to a level allowing efficient test development and debugging. Influence on efficiency in design methods is reported.

VHDL-AMS Modeling of Continuous-Time Complex Bandpass Delta Sigma Modulator

Abstrac tContinuous-Time delta sigma modulators (CT ∆ΣM), by their nature, are mixed-signal systems. That fact creates a discontinuity in the traditional IC design flow which assumes that “discrete” and “continuous” time domain designs require separate design tools. In this work, we present a top level behavioral approach of modeling CT complex Bandpass (CBP) ∆ΣM using VHDL-AMS language. The CT...
