Abstract:
In this paper the way of using universal Analog and Mixed Signal (AMS) Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) to model and simulate frequency dependant elements such as filters is discussed. Analog description languages such as VHDL-AMS and Verilog-AMS gain popularity as instruments for mixed signals modeling and simulations. They make it easy to model systems on high behavior level of description, to perform mixed-domain simulations and to design using modern system on chip approach. As standard languages in most their use, they allow more complex simulations to be made with universal HDL-AMS simulators and to use different abstraction levels for creating more or less detailed descriptions. More professional CAD software tools such as CADENCE, SYNOPSYS, Mentor Graphics and others, provide HDL-AMS support in their design flow.
