Proposed Analog/Mixed-Signal Extensions Revealed
OSCI has released a whitepaper introducing system-level design and modeling of embedded Analog/Mixed-Signal (AMS) systems using SystemC AMS extensions. The whitepaper presents proposed AMS extensions being developed by the OSCI AMS working group, offering unique capabilities for the design and modeling of embedded analog/mixed-signal applications at various levels of design abstraction. These AMS extensions will provide a uniform and standardized modeling approach, which can be used in combination with digitally oriented ESL design methods, supporting a design refinement methodology for functional modeling, architecture exploration and virtual prototyping of embedded analog/mixed-signal systems.

The whitepaper is now available for download. Access to the whitepaper is subject to the terms of the OSCI Open Source License.
Join the Discussion
SystemC users, system architects, ESL tool developers and AMS IP providers are encouraged to start interacting with the AMS working group to discuss the concepts introduced in the whitepaper. A new AMS discussion forum is now available. Members of OSCI can participate in the AMS working group, which will continue to steer the direction of the standardization of the AMS extensions and language reference manual.
