Unfortunately, the best solution for one mixed-signal design, is not the best solution for all mixed-signal designs. This is especially true in light of today‘s microwave applications that span the range from low-power, low-performance type of devices, through high-power,high-frequency and high-performance applications. Digital designs areautomated through the use of the VHDL hardware description language,while the mixed-signal counterparts are automated using the newly developedVHDL-AMS extension. The essential ingredients for mixed-signal designfall into the methodologies of scalable functionality, robust design andfeedback techniques. Scalable functionality refers to the non-conventionalmethodology of dimensional analysis for establishing magnitude relationshipsbetween mixed-signal system variables. Robust design of a mixed-signal system,involves the blending of the z-domain (digital) and the s-domain(continuous), resulting in the wp-domain. Robust feedback involves theinherit feedback nature of mixed-signal systems, by providing a methodologyof design that emphasizes the use of feedback for achieving the desiredrobust system performance tolerances despite device parameter uncertainty andnoise disturbances.
