Abstract :
SystemC AMS offers high abstraction and simulation speed through models of computation and language features such as static scheduling, constant time stepping, linear solver and dataflow paradigm. We demonstrate that such rich expressiveness can render non-ideal behavior in system level description. Design exploration and refinement from system level down to cycle accurate or circuit level is also demonstrated. The main contribution is that the fine grain characterization can start at system level design.
