Automatic synthesis of analog systems using a VHDL-AMS to HSPICE translator
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the initial development of a translator from VHDL-AMS code into HSPICE, as a contribution to the group of CAD-EDA tools in the field of analog design. Analog synthesis tools are not as developed as digital ones but the arise of VHDLAMS, a superset of VHDL, can help to their development. In this work, we present some features of a translator capable to synthesise analog circuits described in a hierarchical and/or behavioural way from standard VHDL-AMS to an electronic HSPICE representation.

Behavioral Modeling and Simulation of Semiconductor Devices and Circuits Using VHDL-AMS
During the past few years, a lot of work has been done on behavioral models and simulation tools. But a need for modeling strategy still remains. The VHDL-AMS language supports the description of analog electronic circuits using Ordinary Differential Algebraic Equations (ODAEs), in addition to its support for describing discrete-event systems. For VHDL-AMS to be useful to the analog design ...

In this paper we present a family of Mixed-signal (mixed analog/digital) synthesis tools being developed at the University of Cincinnati. The VASE (VHDL-AMS Synthesis Environment) project involves the development of a vertically integrated synthesis environment centered around the emerging VHDL-AMS standard for specification of analog and mixed signal systems. The unique contributions of this r...
متن کاملAnalog Filter Synthesis from VHDL-AMS
An analog synthesis technique for VHDL-AMS behavioral descriptions of very high-frequency filters is described. The technique is based on automatic netlist extraction from VHDL-AMS parse trees. The primary application of this work is automated synthesis of high-frequency filter blocks in analog or mixedsignal ASIC designs. The technique is demonstrated with two practical examples – the first is...
متن کاملBehavioral modeling for high-level synthesis of analog and mixed-signal systems from VHDL-AMS
High-level synthesis is highly demanded for managing the complexity of analog and mixed-signal system designs. However, synthesis methods are currently in their infancy. The absence of a high-level specification notation is an important limitation for the development of efficient synthesis methods. This paper presents a behavioral model and a VHDL-AMS subset for high-level synthesis of analog a...

This paper deenes a VHDL-AMS subset for be-havioral synthesis of analog systems. The subset includes language constructs for describing most of the functional aspects pertaining to analog systems. Besides , these constructs can be implemented with electronic circuits. Functional aspects, which can be expressed with the subset, relate to two interacting parts. The analog part continuously proces...
