Analog Behavioral Modeling with the Verilog-A Language Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is the only one that I can find in the bookshelf discuss Verilog-A language. I expect it can provide some examples to model a real world analog circuit using Verilog-A language, but I am disappointed because this book provides only simple description about resistors, capacitors, etc. You can't even find how to model an opamp in this book.

Analog Behavioral Modeling With The Verilog-A Languageprovides the IC designer with an introduction to the methodologies anduses of analog behavioral modeling with the Verilog-A language. Indoing so, an overview of Verilog-A language constructs as well asapplications using the language are presented. In addition, the bookis accompanied by the Verilog-A Explorer IDE (Integrated DevelopmentEnvironment), a limited capability Verilog-A enhanced SPICE simulatorfor further learning and experimentation with the Verilog-A language.This book assumes a basic level of understanding of the usage ofSPICE-based analog simulation and the Verilog HDL language, althoughany programming language background and a little determination shouldsuffice. From the Foreword: `Verilog-A is a new hardware design language (HDL) for analogcircuit and systems design. Since the mid-eighties, Verilog HDL hasbeen used extensively in the design and verification of digitalsystems. However, there have been no analogous high-level languagesavailable for analog and mixed-signal circuits and systems. Verilog-A provides a new dimension of design and simulation capabilityfor analog electronic systems. Previously, analog simulation has beenbased upon the SPICE circuit simulator or some derivative of it.Digital simulation is primarily performed with a hardware descriptionlanguage such as Verilog, which is popular since it is easy to learnand use. Making Verilog more worthwhile is the fact that several toolsexist in the industry that complement and extend Verilog'scapabilities ... Behavioral Modeling With the Verilog-A Language provides a goodintroduction and starting place for students and practicing engineerswith interest in understanding this new level of simulationtechnology. This book contains numerous examples that enhance the textmaterial and provide a helpful learning tool for the reader. The textand the simulation program included can be used for individual studyor in a classroom environment ...' Dr. Thomas A. DeMassa, Professor of Engineering, Arizona StateUniversity
