Using codesign techniques to support analog functionality

- 01 Mar 1999

- pp 79-84

TL;DR: A design methodology was extended for analog codesign based on the specify-explore-refine paradigm and system-level design methodology to achieve a quick turn around for new embedded system development.

Abstract: With the growth of System on a Chip (SoC), the functionality of analog components must also be considered in the design process. This paper describes some of the design implementation partitioning issues and experiences using analog and digital techniques for embedded systems. To achieve a quick turn around for new embedded system development, a design methodology was extended for analog codesign based on the specify-explore-refine paradigm and system-level design methodology. Many system-level issues were addressed including hardware/software codesign trade-offs.

Mixed language simulation cycle for analog mixed-signal circuit design and simulation

Junwei Hou, +1 more

- 30 Apr 2004

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of simulating an analog mixed-signal circuit design using mixed-language descriptions is presented, which includes initializing a mixed language simulation cycle, processing digital events during delta cycles at a current simulation time of the cycle, and, after the digital events are processed, determining an analog solution at the current simulated time.

Analog-Digital Codesign using Coarse Quantization

André Bernardus Joseph Kokkeler

- 28 Apr 2005

TL;DR: It is shown that coarse quantization can lead to mixed-signal systems with lower costs but system parameters will change, and the explicit reconsideration of functional specifications, facilitated by the Y-chart approach, is essential for the introduction of coarse quantification.
