Abstract :
The aim of this paper is to introduce a gas sensor virtual component (VC) that is compatible with SoC design methodology. Advancement in MEMS-based sensors brings a new challenge for system-on-chip (SoC) design integration where analog and digital circuits coexist on a common substrate with the actual sensing platform. Integration of these MEMS-based sensors into a SoC requires a sensor core or virtual component that is compatible with the digital design strategy for a large system.
