Course Overview
Education Services can help you acquire the skills needed to maximize your usage of ADVance MS and realize its full impact on your analog/mixed signal designs. You will study design flows and representations, in particular top-down design and bottom-up verification and how the tool may be used to bring a design to completion. You will be shown the advantages of behavioral modeling languages in verification, allowing you to verify your full design at transistor-level with easily replacing any behavioral description with its Spice equivalent.
YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO
- Use ADVance MS proficiently on large analog/mixed signal designs
- Compile text models written in VHDL, VHDL-AMS, Verilog and Verilog-AMS
- Set up, run, and interpret results
- Use EZwave to help you analyze your results
- Instantiate Spice subcircuits in a HDL design (HDL on top methodology)
- Instanciate HDL models in a Spice description (Spice on top methodology)
- Configure a Spice design
- Appropriately insert and configure boundary converters between analog and digital parts of your design
- Run full chip verification with ADMS ADiT
- Make effective use of advanced features and tips specific to your design methodology
HANDS-ON LABS
Throughout this course, extensive hands-on lab exercises provide you with practical experience using ADVance MS.
AUDIENCE
This course is intended for designers who want to be able to simulate analog, digital and mixed-signal parts all together, giving them the ability to design and verify a complete chip in the same simulation environment.
