Ashenden P. The System Designer's Guide to VHDL-AMS...2002 torrent

Textbook in PDF format

This book presents a structured guide to the modeling facilities offered by the VHDL-AMS language, showing how they can be used for the design of digital, analog, mixed-signal and mixed-technology systems. The book does not purport to teach engineering design, since that topic is large enough by itself to warrant several textbooks covering its various aspects. Instead, the book assumes that the reader has at least a basic grasp of electronics design concepts, such as might be gained from a first course in electronics design in an engineering degree program. Some exposure to computer
programming and to analog and radio-frequency system design will also be beneficial. An understanding of multidisciplinary engineering will be useful for those interested in using VHDL-AMS for "mechatronics" design. Unlike some other books on VHDLAMS, this book does not assume the reader is already familiar with VHDL for digital system modeling. Instead, it presents the whole of VHDL-AMS as a unified language for digital, analog and mixed-signal modeling. This book is suitable for use in an intermediate or advanced-level course in analog and mixed-signal circuit design or "mechatronics" design. It will also serve practicing engineers who need to acquire VHDL-AMS fluency as part of their changing job requirements
