  • Translation of behavioral modeling properties into an analog hardware description language
    Patent number: 5404319
    Abstract: A translator (10) begins with a specification for a system, wherein the specification is described in terms of some desired behavior. That behavior is mapped into a hardware description language representation of the behavior, so that the behavior may be simulated. Other synthesis steps may also be derived therefrom. The translator converts abstract descriptions of system or component behavior into analog hardware description language models which can be later used to simulate the behavior of the system by an appropriate simulator.
