Hierarchical Approach to Simulation in a Vertical System for the TriCore Microcontroller

Salzmann C., Chesters E., Coelho P., Fu Y-C, Madala J., Reddy M., Wang F., Siemens Microelectronics, Inc., US

This paper describes a hiercihical functional verification system for a core-based system design which minimizes complexity in testbenches while maximizing flexibility in terms of number of clocks and system interfaces and reducing time-to-market. The verification [...]

Simulating 3-Dimensional Deep X-ray Lithography Using the CXrL Toolset

Aigeldinger G., Craft B., Menz W., Louisiana State University, US

Experimental evaluation of the dose distribution resulting from 3-dimensional deep x-ray lithography is often impractical. Computer modeling is a valuable tool for simulating this system. Preliminary simulations of 3-dimensional, deep, xray lithography exposures have been [...]

Implications of Finite Time Stepping for Transient Sensor Models

Schubert M., González B., Fachhochschule Regensburg, DE

Modeling of sensor devices has to take into account not only variable voltaves and currents but also variable device parameters. This makes transient differentiation and integration more complex than for circuits with constant device characteristics. [...]

A Mixed Rigid/Elastic Formulation for an Efficient Analysis of Electromechanical Systems

Ramaswamy D., Aluru N.R., White J.K., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

In this paper we describe both how to extract rigid bodies given an input file of elements, and how to efficiently construct and solve the rigid-elastic system of equations. Results are given to demonstrate that [...]

System Level Simulation of a Digital Accelerometer

Kraft M., Lewis C.P., Coventry University, UK

This paper describes the derivation of a detailed model of a micromachined accelerometer and its implementation in a commercial SPICE package. The sensing element is modeled at a system level, the control and interface electronics [...]

Spice-like Simulation Using Real Devices Instead of their Mathematical Models

Denisenko V.V., Research Laboratory of Design Automation, RU

Modern Spice-like circuit simulators use increasingly accurate and sophisticated analytical models of components. But the validity of models, that is the probability that the procedure of the model verification is true, still remains very poor. [...]

Simulation and Modeling of Optoelectronic Devices, Circuits and Systems

Morikuni J.J., Mena P.V., Harton A.V., Wyatt K.W., Motorola, US

Holographic optical elements fabricated from DuPont's OMNIDEXô photopolymer have been demonstrated in a variety of product prototypes in which optical interconnect and semiconductor optoelectronic devices are integrated. With the emergence of Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, [...]
