将模拟与混合信号块带到一个更高的抽象水平,获得了更高效率的混合信号仿真和更完备的验证环境。“无处不互联”时代正在创建出大量低功耗和混合信号设计的应用,涉及到保健、汽车、通信等行业。同时,知识产权的选择与集成,以及SoC和系统级的验证等设计挑战都给EDA工具带来了全新的问题。混合信号设计工程师们在复杂混合信号SoC的设计与验证中遇到了越来越多的困难。2011年,Cadence Design System公司主持了一个针对混合信号设计 Bringing analog and mixed signal blocks to a higher level of abstraction yields more efficient mixed-signal simulation and a more complete verification environment. The Ubiquitous Internet era is creating a number of applications for low-power and mixed-signal design that span the healthcare, automotive and communications industries. At the same time, design challenges such as choice and integration of intellectual property, as well as SoC and system-level verification, have all brought new problems to EDA tools. Mixed-signal design engineers have encountered more and more difficulties in the design and verification of complex mixed-signal SoCs. In 2011, Cadence Design System hosted a mixed-signal design
