Mixed-Signal Unified Methodology Guide
Get the definitive guidebook
The Mixed-Signal Methodology Guide: Advanced Methodology for AMS IP and SoC Design, Verification, and Implementation provides a broad overview of the design, verification, and implementation methodologies required for today’s mixed-signal designs. The book covers mixed-signal design trends and challenges, abstraction of analog function using behavioral models, assertion-based metric-driven verification methodology, and verification of low-power intent in mixed-signal designs. It also describes methodology for physical implementation in context of concurrent mixed-signal design and for handling advanced-node physical effects. The book contains many practical examples of models and techniques. The authors believe it should serve as a reference to many analog, digital, and mixed-signal designers, and verification and physical implementation engineers and managers in their pursuit of information for a better methodology required to address the challenges of modern mixed-signal designs.
