Overview to AMS Configuration
This session introduces the opposing powers in design methodologies and the concept of mixed-signal design environments. A high-level description of mixed-signal challenges is also provided along with the various available techniques that attempt to address these challenges. -
Analog/Mixed-Signal Domain
This session introduces the definition for mixed-signal domain. A deeper-level description of the need for mixed-signal domain and the current challenges in verification and design. Then, addresses the three main areas for AMS design: functionality, robustness and reliability. -
Design Methodologies
This session covers the 2 main flows used in mixed-signal design environments: bottom-up design flow and top-down design flow. In each case, the flow is presented along with its merits and demerits. Additionally, the balance as a methodology strategy is demonstrated to improve the end-product. -
Design Topologies
This session covers the 2 main design topologies in mixed-signal SoC: analog-centric mixed-signal designs and digital-centric mixed-signal designs. In each case, the design nature and constraints are presented along with the various available approaches that can be used with their merits and demerits. -
Mixing Languages
This session defines the language choices available in a mixed-signal design structure and how each choice impacts the performance and quality of the process. Then, introduces the concept of design reconfiguration and the available schemes to alter the design structure in constructive manners to help the mixed-signal verification performance which directly helps improve the quality of the design by allowing the designer to cover/test more areas of the design. -
Questa ADMS: AMS Configuration
This session introduces Questa ADMS, and how this tool can be adapted in various topologies supporting the available methodologies with little or no impact on the design flow. Questa ADMS features and capabilities are explored to show how they can address the various challenges in mixed-signal SoC design. Customer success stories and testimonials are provided to show how successful Questa ADMS is being used in various design environments.

Overview
View more AMS resourcesIt’s often said that most of today’s designs are mixed-signal, and that mixed-signal verification remains one of the biggest design challenges. With today’s mixed-signal circuits being systems that are made of analog cells and digital cells on the same chip, SoC designs would then enforce many hard problems that need solutions.
This track will introduce the various techniques available in Analog/Mixed-Signal (AMS) design environment to help understand how to efficiently utilize them. Understanding the challenges in AMS verification, will help learn how to properly address them, thus, creating an efficient design environment.
