Mixed-signal modelling in VHDL for system-on-chip applications
F. Pichon, Sébastien Blanc, B. Candaele · European Design and Test Conference · 1995
Function transfer based modelling techniques are applied to the IEEE VHDL language to develop behavioral analogue models. This allows mixed-signal simulations integrated into a top-down ASIC design flow for system designers. An application to a clock module for a DSP-core ASIC, integrating a Phase-Locked Loop, demonstrates the usefulness of such an approach for the validation of large systems containing a small portion of analogue functionalities. >
