Abstract :
This paper presents a VHDL package, called VHDL-MOS, which allows the mixed-mode simulation of deep submicron CMOS circuits using an event-driven simulator. Digital gate-level descriptions can coexist with analog-like transistor-level descriptions inside the same event-driven simulation kernel. Accurate waveforms, timing, and power analysis are obtained for the analog-like described part of the circuit. Simulation results show the efficiency and accuracy in simulating large deep-submicron circuits
