Real Modeling with Verilog-AMS

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Identify how real number modeling using Verilog-AMS (wreal) enables high-performance digital-centric mixed-signal verification
• Create Verilog-AMS wreal models
• Verify the functionality and performance of the wreal models that you create using the Virtuoso AMS Designer simulator
• Use the advanced wreal modeling features
• Identify how wreal connections are resolved in mixed designs
• Apply the wreal modeling techniques for creating models
• Apply the Universal Verification Methodology-Mixed Signal (UVM-MS) to analog and mixed-signal designs
• Review some of the tips and tricks that you can apply while creating and simulating wreal models
• Create Verilog-AMS and wreal models using the Schematic Model Generator (SMG) and validate models using AMS Design and Model Validation (amsDmv)
