Abstract:A VHDL-SPICE mixed-signal modeling methodology is applied to the RF interface of a DECT ASIC designed in CMOS 0.35 f.lm technology. An overview of actual mixed design flows is presented followed by the DECT system description. Then a mixed-signal methodology is introduced to validate the whole circuit behavior. We illustrate the approach with detailed models, simulation results and experimental data. The chip was successfully tested and produced by VLSI Technology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
