Abstract:
In this paper the way of creating universal AMS (Aanlog and Mixed Signals) HDL (Hardware Description Language) models for the elements of the structure of Field Programmable Analog Array (FPAA) chips is discussed. These are programmable chips that perform analog functions and are similar to digital FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) chips. They give analog designers flexibility to easily evaluate and prototype different designs. 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. Building universal models of the elements of FPAA structure will allow more complex simulations to be made with universal HDL-AMS simulators.
