- Abstract
The analog designer frequently characterizes the behavior of a system using frequency-domain properties. Therefore, representation and simulation of analog and mixed-signal systems directly in the frequency domain can naturally serve as base elements for building generic behavioral models. For efficient use in a design flow, such models should be suited both for time-efficient evaluation of the model via simulation, and for analysis to identify both intended and parasitic signal flows in an architecture. To be able to write frequency-domain generic functions according to these requirements, a mathematical framework is presented in this chapter. Together with a specific interaction scheme for a wide class of front-end architectures, frequency-domain generic behavioral models for efficient top-down design are obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
