VHDL-AMS relevance for predicting integrated circuits emissivity and immunity

This paper presents the relevance of using VHDL-AMS language to achieve EMC models for integrated circuits. After an introduction about the EMC estimation, we present an emissivity model of a FLASH MEMORY using VHDL-AMS. More precisely, we illustrate the design of the Internal Activity model to predict parasitic emissions. In a third part, we expose a VHDL-AMS immunity model of an ADC circuit. Finally, the relevance of VHDL-AMS is pointed out in the whole methodology.
