Abstract :
A methodology for developing analog and mixed signal behavioral models is presented. The mathematical concepts for modeling various standard analog and mixed signal building blocks are discussed. For each component to be modeled, parameters ace developed based on the physical characteristics of that component to be modeled. Models of varying degrees of complexity are thus developed and can be used during different stages in a top down design environment. Examples of models for operational amplifiers, analog comparators, continuous and discrete time filters are discussed
