Analog Circuit Modeling in SystemC

This paper proposes a methodology for the extension of SystemC to mixed signal systems. An oscillator made up of an inverter chain has been used to test the accuracy and stability of the algorithm proposed. Finally a simulation of a complex mixed-signal fuzzy controller is used to show the speed up achievable with a high level description of the analog block with respect to SPICE simulation.
