The goal This course teaches students how to use HDL-AMS compilers, simulation and modeling tools to describe and verify analog and mixed systems, as well as essential blocks for mix-signal processing ( mix-signal equalizer circuits, Decision-Feedback Equalization circuits (DFE), Phase Looked Loops(PLL) and Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) circuits...).
The outcome Knowledge to use various modeling technique to describe and simulate analog and mix-signal Ability to design, and write test benches for analog and mix-signal circuits Ability to analyze and model essential circuit blocks for mix-signal processing, like charge pumps, loop-filter, Ring and LC-tank voltage controlled oscillators, boosting filters, DC restoration circuits.
Contents
Contents of lectures Syntax, specific data types, analog modeling constructions. Conservation laws, implicit relationships, multi-dimensional phenomena, multiple technology domains .Transfer function modeling. Event-driven modeling. Guards and blocks. Integrated system modeling. Migrating to&from analog to digital: Thresholding to obtain an event from an analog, ramping to convert an event into an analog
