Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The funding requested is to allow Professor Brown to spend six months working at the laboratory of Professor Trond Ytterdal, in Trondheim.Professor Ytterdal and his group have considerable experience in behavioural modelling and simulation. The group has to offer a comprehensive set of realistic, useful behavioural models for submicron devices, plus the techniques used to derive these models. Southampton would benefit considerably from sharing this knowledge and an understanding of these techniques. Southampton, in turn, have experience in the development of realistic mixed domain modelling (electrical, thermal, magnetic).We will investigate translation of the Trondheim transistor level SPICE models into VHDL-AMS, and investigate extension of some of these models to mixed domain (thermal and electronic) representation. In the light of the requirements and characteristics of the models described above, a detailed assessment of the requirements of a VHDL-AMS simulator will be made, leading to an outline specification. Reviewing the skill base available in the two groups, a reasoned decision about the strategic wisdom of applying for financial support for such a large project will be taken.If time permits, we would like to undertake a feasibility study on the generation of a designers' framework for mixed signal / SoC systems using VHDLAMS. Discrete simulation and synthesis sit extremely well together - whether or not the same synergy can be exploited in the mixed signal domain is a very open question.
