Abstract :
This paper looks at symbolic matrix techniques and approaches for mixed-signal design using dimensional analysis techniques or Π parameters. Scaling and performance issues are addressed by developing Π dimensionless parameter models, which are parsed into the VHDL-AMS description language requirements
