Overview to Improve AMS Performance
This session introduces the challenges in mixed-signal verification performance. A high-level description of the accuracy vs. performance/capacity tradeoffs is also provided along with the various available technologies that attempt to address the different areas of tradeoffs. -
AMS Engines
This session covers the 2 main simulator technologies used in mixed-signal verification: AMS Simulation and Analog/Digital Co-Simulation. In each case, the technology is presented along with its merits and demerits. Additionally, capabilities expected from AMS engines are presented. -
Modeling Abstraction
This session defines the language choices available in a mixed-signal design structure and how each choice impacts the performance and quality of the results. Then, introduces the concept of abstraction which helps define only a subset of effects that are of interest to each design phase. Abstraction helps the mixed-signal verification performance which directly helps improve the quality of the design by allowing the designer to cover/test more behaviors of the design. -
AMS Modeling Guidance
This session attempts to offer some general guidelines in developing models for the various analog and mixed-signal domains to achieve the optimum design flow to meet the requirements with reasonable resources. The session also covers some of the "good modeling practices" and comparing them to the "bad modeling practices" oftentimes a model developer would fall into. -
Questa ADMS: AMS Performance
This session introduces Questa ADMS, and how this tool can be adapted in existing design flows supporting the available methodologies with little or no impact on the design flow, supporting virtually all language standards with a variety of features and capabilities to help accurately and efficiently model and verify complex mixed-signal designs to reach the goal of successful first tape-out using reasonable resources.
