Summary: | The verification of analog designs has been a challenging task for a few years now. Several approaches have been taken to tackle the main problem related to the complexity that such task presents to design and verification teams. The methodology presented in this document is based on the experiences and research work carried out by the Concordia University's Hardware Verification and the U. of Texas' IC systems design groups.
The representation of complex systems where different interactions either mechanical or electrical take place requires an intricate set of mathematical descriptions which greatly vary according to the system under test. As a simple and very relevant example one can look at the integration of RF-MEMS as active elements in System-On-Chip architectures. In order to tackle such heterogeneous interaction for a consistent model, the use of stochastic hybrid models is described and implemented for very simple examples using high level modeling tools for a succinct
and precise description. === text |
