Co-Simulation of mixed HW/SW and Analog/RF systems at architectural level

Analog systems are more and more functionally interwoven with digital hardware/software systems. SystemC offers the potential for a unified modeling approach for such systems: SystemC AMS extensions and SystemC TLM extensions are covering the domains of analog/signal processing systems, resp. hardware/software systems. Both extensions use different Models of Computation to gain simulation performance, most notably by abstracting timing information. In this paper we present a method to couple SystemC AMS extensions with TLM 2.0 extensions while maintaining the simulation speedup for an overall system simulation.
