Abstract

In this paper we compare three different methodologies for analog high-level synthesis. Two optimization-based methods-one with simulations in the loop, the other with equations-and a library-based approach are discussed and illustrated with experimental results. The comparison is made by means of a real life design example-a radiation detector interface ASIC-although the methodologies presented in this paper, are generally applicable
