模拟/混合信号设计流程自动化实现的障碍与解决方案

Obstacle and Resolution of Implemetation on the Automation of Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Flow

近几年来,人们对模拟/混合信号(A/MS)设计流程自动化的发展给予了极大的关注并将目光逐渐集中在A/MS标准语言、逻辑综合、模拟与数字协同仿真、模拟与数字电路的集成及物理综合等五个主要方面。经过多年的努力,在这些方面的研究虽取得了一定的进展,但是离成功地研制出全自动的、易使用的 A/MS设计流程确还有一段距离,仍存在一些值得探讨和研究的问题。

Development of the automation of analog/mixed-signal (A/MS) design flow has been the focus of much attention over the past few years. Primarily, this focus centers on five main areas: standard languages, logical synthesis, analog and digital co-simulation capabilities, analog and digital block integration, and physical synthesis. While there's no disputation that great strides have been made in each of these areas, more development is needed before we get a fully automated, easy-to-use design flow. We must do our best to research and develop them.
