Mixed Analog-Digital Circuit Modeling Using Event-Driven VHDL
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mixed-signal event-driven (MixED) method developed to simulate small portions of analog circuitry within a digital environment is demonstrated in a mixed signal application. The MixED models using concurrent iteration to account for analog nodes were coded and run in standard VHDL’93. Networks containing linear components such as sources, resistors, capacitors, inductors and operational amplifiers are presented. The possibility to manipulate resistors during runtime is used to simulate switches.

Behavioral 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...

The VHDL based mixed-signal event-driven (MixED) simulation method [1] has been shown to allow for effective mixed-signal simulation in a number of useful applications. The range of possible applications is smaller than that of tools such as VHDL-AMS [2,3] or PSpice-AD [4]. However, a number of useful mixed-signal circuits have already been successfully simulated, e.g. an analog inverter with o...

by Mark Dean Mueller With the increasing use of mixed signal analog and digital technologies in circuit design, there becomes a growing need for a method to simulate such circuits quickly, easily and accurately. Modeling the components structurally with an analog simulation tool is a common technique. A more powerful method would be to behaviorally model both types of components at a higher lev...

VHDL has had a tremendous impact in fostering and accelerating CAD systems development in the digital arena. Similar ...
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...
