An Analog Model Template Library: Simplifying Chip-Level, Mixed-Signal Design Verification

Real number models, which are computationally efficient analog functional models, are now indispensable in verifying complex mixed-signal systems on chip (SoCs); yet, creating and validating these models remain difficult. To remove this problem, we created a framework for building analog functional model templates. Each template covers a class of circuits (e.g., oscillators or amplifiers) and can generate functional models for any implementation...
