Title
Verification of analog/mixed-signal circuits using labeled hybrid petri nets
Abstract
System on a chip design results in the integration of digi- tal, analog, and mixed-signal circuits on the same substrate which further complicates the already dicult validation problem. This paper presents a new model, labeled hybrid Petri nets (LHPNs), that is developed to be capable of mod- eling such a heterogeneous set of components. This paper also describes a compiler from VHDL-AMS to LHPNs. To support formal verification, this paper presents an ecient zone-based state space exploration algorithm for LHPNs. This algorithm uses a process known as warping to allow zones to describe continuous variables that may be chang- ing at variable rates. Finally, this paper describes the appli- cation of this algorithm to a couple of analog/mixed-signal circuit examples.
