Modellbibliothek fuer komplexe analoge Bauelemente (BIBLIO) Abschlussbericht

State-of-the-art microsystems for information processing are implemented by using both analog and digital components and subsystems. Therefore, macromodels have to be developed that can be included into mixed analog/digital (mixed-mode) simulations. The following aspects were investigated: evaluation of mixed-mode macromodels with the multi-level simulator KOSIM, methodology for describing large MOS circuits in analog environments resulting in mixed-modes macromodels, investigation of Analog VHDL under mixed-mode modeling aspects. Analog-to-digital converters, a photo diode with processing logic, an acceleration sensor with processing logic, signal recovering circuits, and programmable logic arrays (PLA) were taken as modeling examples for evaluating the simulator KOSIM. Truth tables or binary decision diagrams are used for generating black-box models of digital subsystems with the described methodology. Thus, effects can be included into simulation that otherwise cannot be accessed on gate level. By enhancing the resulting submodel by analog-to-digital interfaces, true mixed-mode macromodels can be created.
