Description and simulation of bio-inspired systems using VHDL–AMS

This paper focuses on commonalities and differences between the two mixed-signal hardware description languages, VHDL-AMS and Verilog-AMS, in the case of modeling heterogeneous or multidiscipline systems. The paper has two objectives. The first one is ...

Fault simulation is an accepted part of the test generation procedure for digital circuits. With complex analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, such techniques must now be extended. Analog simulation is slow and fault simulation can be prohibitively ...

One of the main requirements for generating test patterns for analog and mixed-signal circuits is fast fault simulation. Analog fault simulation is much slower than the digital equivalent. This is due to the fact that digital circuit simulators use less ...
