ADVance MS for A/MS Design Verification

Duration:  2 Days
Pricing:  $1,000 USD
Course Part Number: 217225

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 sub-circuits in a HDL design (HDL on top methodology)
• Instantiate 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 in 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.

Prerequisites

• Familiarity with Unix operating systems
• Knowledge of principals of SPICE simulation
• Working knowledge of Hardware Description Languages (VHDL and/or Verilog)
• Familiarity with ModelSim® is a plus
• Practical experience with analog design and simulation is a plus
