Abstract :
Efficient simulation of mixed signal designs requires the ability to quickly exchange analog and digital representations of a cell during the design and verification process. For the interconnection between analog nets and digital signals, connect modules are used. Mostly these connections elements are limited to being uni-directional when inserted automatically. The paper describes how true bi-directional connect modules can be realized in VERILOG-AMS by using special language features.
