Abstract

A novel, mixed-signal behavioral modeling environment for the creation, testing and validation of hardware description language based models is presented. The environment presently supports the generation of multiple hardware description languages including VHDL-AMS, MAST and Verilog-A. The software architecture and feature set of the environment is described. The utility of Paragon is illustrated through examples.
