Abstract :
Today´s simulation tools can not keep up with novel design methodologies at system level such as TLM. We propose to automatically precompute numerical models from analog netlists and interface a simulation kernel via SystemC to the digital domain. Our simulation system has performed orders of magnitude faster compared to traditional analog circuit simulators interfaced to SystemC while keeping full accuracy.
