  • A Verilog Piecewise-Linear Analog Behavior Model for Mixed-Signal Validation
    IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I: Regular Papers, 2014
    Co-Authors: Sabrina Liao, Mark Horowitz
    Abstract:

    Full chip mixed-signal validation requires simulating the entire design through a large number of test vectors, which makes fast, event-based Verilog models of analog circuits essential. We describe an extensible approach to creating these models that maps continuous signals into piecewise linear waveforms by creating analog events which contain a value and slope. By breaking analog circuits into sub-blocks with mostly unidirectional ports, we avoid explicit time integration, thus fitting well into an event-driven Digital Framework. The result is Verilog analog functional models that are pin-accurate, fast to simulate, and capture the key dynamics in analog circuits. A 250 Ms/s open-loop track and hold circuit, 2.5 V-1.8 V buck converter, and 1 GHz PLL models are demonstrated.

  • ICME - Digital interactive television services for converged IP and DVB networks
    2004 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo (ICME) (IEEE Cat. No.04TH8763), 1
    Co-Authors: M. Haque, Takebumi Itagaki, John Cosmas
    Abstract:

    A major European Union IST project, SAVANT (synchronised and scalable AV content across networks: IST-2001-34814), has been launched bringing together key broadcasters, researchers, academics and industrialists across Europe, to drive the future convergence of broadcast and Internet. SAVANT is committed to develop integrated Internet/broadcast multimedia technologies in order to achieve added-value services to conventional Digital and interactive television. The SAVANT project aims to provide an interactive Digital Framework for scalable broadcast television services converged with television oriented IP services. This work describes new services that can be developed using this Framework.

  • ICME - An interactive Digital television system designed for synchronised and scalable multi-media content over DVB and IP networks
    2004 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo (ICME) (IEEE Cat. No.04TH8763), 1
    Co-Authors: Takebumi Itagaki, John Cosmas, M. Haque
    Abstract:

    Although some market research has predicted the rapid uptake of Digital television by European householders, recent unsettling experiences in the UK Digital television market has shown that consumers demand a more value added viewing experience. This is understood by the fact that terrestrial analogue broadcasting has enjoyed a reputation of providing a television service to a very high standard. It is thus necessary to find ways in which end-users can best exploit the increased flexibility and the advantages that Digital television creates. For this to happen, the whole value of the broadcasting chain has to support seamless integration of the broadcast and telecommunication networks. The European Union IST project, SAVANT (synchronised and scalable AV content across networks), aims to provide an interactive Digital Framework for scalable broadcast television services converged with television oriented IP services. The paper describes the major architectural components of the project.
