A SystemC AMS extension for the simulation of non-linear circuits

This paper proposes a new model of computation for SystemC AMS with similar features like in VHDL-AMS or Verilog-A/AMS to enable the modelling of analogue, non-linear parts of cyber-physical systems. It integrates smoothly into the current architecture of SystemC/SystemC AMS and, thus, allows joint simulations along with other SystemC methodologies like TLM for abstract modelling of digital hardware/ software systems. Finally, it is illustrated that our implementation of the proposed extension is already in use for some industrial examples
