  • Abstract
    The paper proposes the adoption of formal methods for modeling of analog functions. It explains how assertions can be overlaid onto the range of values of individual features in an analog function, and proceeds toward building a mathematical (hybrid automata) model to represent and analyze them. An LDO regulator and a battery charger are used as examples.
