Available on-line, the book describes in very practical terms what's needed to implement a transaction-level modeling (TLM) based design and verification flow. In this roundtable interview, four Cadence co-authors - Michael McNamara, Guy Mosenson, Mike Stellfox, and Yosinori Watanabe - join with another co-author, consultant Brian Bailey, to answer questions related to the ... ...

Tue, 01 Jun 2010 00:00:00 -0700 http://www2.dac.com/front_end+topics.aspx?article=53&topic=1 Similar to Transaction-level Modeling (TLM), the SystemC AMS extensions introduce smart methods to abstract time and uses known techniques to abstract signal properties. However, analog behavior is continuous in time and continuous in value, captured in an equation system and often seen as difficult to abstract... When applying these abstraction methods in a smart manner, a major improvement in simulation speed is obtained, enabling totally new AMS analysis and verification methods through ... ...

The AMS 1.0 standard is the first modeling language targeting system-level design and verification to describe analog/mixed-signal behavior as a natural extension to existing SystemC-based design methodologies. - Published by Electronic Desig ... Tue, 11 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.soccentral.com/results.asp?EntryID=31207 The effectiveness and productivity of RTL modeling and verification techniques are sinking under the weight of growing design complexity. Traditional design and verification methodologies were not intended to address the billions of transistors, intricate hardware/ software interfaces, and complex device architectures of today's consumer, mobile, networking, and storage systems. As a result, design flows will inevitably shift toward the electronic system level (ESL). - Published by ... ...

Thu, 22 Apr 2010 12:00:00 -0700 http://icjournal.com/icjournal/articles/20100420-analog/ If there is a hierarchy of techie-ness, analog designers come pretty high-up in the hierarchy. Where digital IC design teams have moved from drawing polygons, through schematic entry to RTL, and are now grappling with ESL tools, the analog guys continue to draw polygons. And analog design is hard: it takes a long time to learn to do, and requires a special mind-set to do it well. This has always been a problem and it is becoming an even more serious problem as analog moves from being a niche ... ...
