Energy-Based Characterization of Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) and Component Modeling Using VHDL-AMS

Dewey A., Dussault H., Hanna J.P., Christen E., Fedder G.K., Romanowicz B.F., Maher M.A., Duke University, US

This paper presents an approach to defining and characterising component models that promotes the establishement of reusable intellectual property (IP) for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), in particular, and composite microsystems, in general. System dynamic behavior is [...]

A Common Basis for Mixed-Technology Micro-System Modeling

Hanna J.P., Hillman R.G., Air Force Research Laboratory, US

An ad hoc working group, organized under the DARPA Composite CAD program, is developing a common set of VHDL-AMS (VHSIC Hardware Description Language for Analog and Mixed Signal) definitions for modeling mixed-technology systems. This common [...]
