High-level modeling and synthesis of analog integrated systems

Various approaches for finding optimal values for the parameters of analog cells, like op amps, have been investigated since the mid-1980s, and they have made their entrance in commercial applications. However, a larger impact on theperformance is expected if tools are developed which operate on a higher abstraction level and consider multiple architectural choices to realize a particular functionality. ‘High-Level Modeling and Synthesis of Analog Integrated Systems’ examines the opportunities, conditions, problems, solutions and systematic methodologies for this new generation of analog CAD tools. A new design paradigm is defined for high-level synthesis of AMS systems: the high-level design flow based on generic behavior. This design approach involves a modeling strategy using generic behavioral models and a synthesis strategy leading to the exploration of a heterogeneous design space containing different architectures. One of the first books with systematic study of analog CAD tools for high-level synthesis. INDICE: From the contents Preface. List of Figures. List of Tables. 1. Introduction.
