Abstract

This paper presents a case study for high-level approach to mixed-systems co-design (analog, digital and software), which is based on UML as a high level system specification and description language. Aim of this paper is to demonstrate how UML specification can be easily translated into ANSI-C and VHDL using CodeSimulink co-design environment. This design flow is very suited to be a RAD (rapid application development) in a great variety of systems, especially low-cost ones
