Abstract :
A high-level design approach using differential equations as the hardware definition language is presented. From the differential equations, annotated with accuracy requirements, the design process generates a set of device requirements that are then passed to existing low-level analog circuit synthesis tools which build the necessary low level analog devices. An object oriented implementation of the design methodology is presented. A design example is presented that explores the viability of this design approach
