Title: Simulators & Models Post by kt on Sep 25th, 2009, 5:21am Hi Can u please tell me names of all simulators that support Verilog-AMS ? Also, can Verilog-AMS do transistor level simulation using any SPICE or BSIM MOSFET model ? If yes , it limited to only few number of transitors or any number ? Please reply ... Thanks

Title: Re: Simulators & Models Post by Riad KACED on Sep 25th, 2009, 11:33am Hi kt, I'm not able to tell all simulators in the world that deal with verilog-AMS. I'm able though to tell that AMS Designer (a Cadence tool) deals with Verilog-AMS very well. I am working with AMS Designer in the virtuoso use model as far as I'm concerned. Verilog-AMS is a behavioral modeling language, not a SPICE level language. But using AMS Designer, you can simulate part of your design at transistor level, ysunig BSIM/PSP models along with digital RTL along with mised-signal models ... etc. In other words, the Verilog-AMS language does not support BSIM but the AMS environment lets you do it. Assuming I have understood your question ... Cheers, Riad.

Title: Re: Simulators & Models Post by Geoffrey_Coram on Sep 29th, 2009, 10:46am It is possible to write BSIM4 in Verilog-A(MS); in fact, the next-generation MOSFET model "PSP" is released officially in Verilog-A (rather than C code for Spice3f5, as for BSIM4). Some simulators are able to simulate transistor-level Verilog-A circuits just fine.
