Abstract

A methodology for the specification, design and verification of application specific standard - IC - products (ASSP) is presented. The applicaiton of a "simulatable specification", written in hardware description language VHDL-AMS, is the key feature of this method, which uses a modular approach with respect to specification, behavioural models and circuit topology. The paper describes this process by an example of a Smart Power IC.
