Abstract
Automatic generation of analog and mixed-signal (AMS) behavioral models from specifications is an important component of top-down design methodologies. In this paper, we present an expert system solution to this challenge. Based on a representation of the model functionality, our expert system manipulates a library of previously developed models to synthesize a new model. Automatically generated VHDL-AMS behavioral models are shown to be of expert quality.
