verilog to verilog-a conversion (Read 5689 times)

I understand that this is no more main stream flow as AMS simulators are largerly available but sometimes verilog-a is still needed due to legacy reasons. Thanks in advance, cheers. Cristiano

I think Lynguent has some sort of tool that can convert between different HDLs. I've never used it, though, and I'm not sure it's what you're after.

When I read "Verilog" I think "digital Verilog" -- meaning gate-level descriptions (and, nand, nor, or, xor, xnor); do you really want something that replaces those event-driven gates with some sort of continuous-time representation?

If at first you do succeed, STOP, raise your standards, and stop wasting your time.

Hi Geoffrey,
thanks for the hint.
When I said Verilog I meant exactly digital verilog but "behavioral", not gate level.
Normally you would simulate the behavioral verilog along with analog spice netlits by using AMS sims.
For a number of reasons, in my case, having the behavioral digital verilog translated into analog verilog-a would help.
I will try to gather some info about Lynguent.

Cheers,
Cristiano
