Abstract :
This paper presents and discusses the foundations on which the analog and mixed-signal extensions of SystemC, named SystemC-AMS, will be developed. First, requirements from targeted application domains are identified. These are then used to derive design objectives and related rationales. Finally, some preliminary seed work is presented and the outline of the analog and mixed-signal extensions development work is given.
