SOLUTIONS MITIGATE MIXED-SIGNAL SoC IMPLEMENTATION HEADACHES

摘要

With the march toward advanced process nodes and the emergence of extremely complex analog/mixed-signal IP blocks, mixed-signal SoC integration has become a daunting task. Fortunately, there are solutions.rnA new implementation flow promises concurrent analog/digital IP design and integration. Advanced techniques help to resolve noise and timing verification challenges. Techniques such as analog behavioral modeling, single-kernel analog/digital simulation, and real number modeling are opening doors to mixed-signal SoC verification. All of these approaches are part of the EDA360 vision and are needed to turn silicon realization of mixed-signal SoCs into a reality.
