VHDL-AMS

VHDL-AMS is the IEEE standard modeling language (standard 1076.1) created to provide compatibility and capability in an open language for modern analog, mixed-signal, multi-domain designs.

Simplorer supports the VHDL-AMS modeling language for mixed signal and multi-domain systems. VHDL-AMS provides both continuous-time and event-driven modeling semantics, and is suitable for analog, digital, and mixed analog/digital circuits. VHDL-AMS also facilitates modeling of multi-domain systems that can include (among others) a combination of electrical, mechanical, thermal, hydraulics, and magnetic models. This allows the entire system now to be modeled, simulated, analyzed, and optimized. Not only does VHDL-AMS provide powerful modeling capabilities, but also provides compatibility where models can be exchanged between different simulation tools that adhere to the VHDL-AMS standard.

Advantages of VHDL-AMS
