Abstract :
In this paper we describe a behavioral simulation methodology for analog system design verification and design space exploration. The repertoire of analysis modes include time and frequency domain analysis, time and frequency domain sensitivity analysis, steady-state analysis and distortion analysis. Besides verification of design specifications, these analysis modes are also used to generate a set of metrics for comparison of various architectures that can realize a behavioral specification
