Virtuoso Video Diary: Knowledge Booster Training Bytes – Part 8: Mixed-Signal Modeling Aspects of Verilog-AMS

1 Jul 2021 • 4 minute read

Verilog AMS

Verilog-AMS language brings both the analog and digital modeling together in a single language. With Verilog-AMS, you can create and use modules that describe the high-level behavior and structure of analog, digital, and mixed-signal components and systems. The created Verilog-AMS models can be verified for their functionality and performance using the Cadence Spectre AMS Designer simulator in the Virtuoso ADE environment or the Xcelium Logic Simulator with mixed-signal option in the command-line environment.

Verilog-AMS Behavioral Modeling

In Verilog-AMS, you describe:

The behavior of a component mathematically in terms of its ports and external parameters
The structure of a component in terms of interconnected subcomponents

The language supports various types of blocks used to describe behavior. In general, digital behavior is described in initial and always blocks and analog behavior is described in analog blocks.

In a Verilog-AMS module, you can have one analog block and any number of initial and always blocks. So, if you have been wondering on the mixed-signal aspects of Verilog-AMS and how the continuous (analog) and discrete (digital) domains interact, then Behavioral Modeling with Verilog-AMS is the course for you.
