Abstract

In this paper we explain the usefulness of VHDL–AMS, a hardware description language oriented for description and simulation of mixed signal circuits and processes. Its range of application includes not only electrical circuits, but also combined physical domains like thermal, mechanical or fluid dynamics. In this paper we preset two examples of neuronal applications described and simulated using VHDL-AMS.
