Miniaturized, integrated sensors and actuaturs are more and more used in microsystem applications. In order to promote their use further, specialists must make them more accessible to System designers. This can be done through behavioral modeling of sensors and actuators. The resulting models can be used in conjunction with models of the associated electronics to simulate a complete microsystem....

In this paper we make use of a mixed analogue-digital HDL to model sampled-data systems. Modelling solutions are presented to code some sampled-data behaviour using either analogue or digital constructs of the language.Two key operations – sampling and shifting – are presented first. Then, these facilities are used to code difference equations. This approach is validated on the example of...

The analytical modeling and simulation of conservative electrostatic, electromagnetic and electrodynamic transducers found in microsystems using a non-linear lumped-parameter approach is presented in this paper. A comparison is made between this approach and the linearized equivalent circuit method. All models of transducers are written in HDL-ATM, a proprietary analogue hardware description...

A method for the graphical specification and the automatic generation of analogue behavioural models is presented. This method has been implemented as a new software tool called ABSynth. The behaviour of the component to model is described as a functional diagram, which is then automatically translated into a VHDL-A-like analogue hardware description language. No syntax knowledge is necessary and...

In order to master the growing complexity of analogue electronic systems, modelling and simulation of analogue hardware at various levels is absolutely necessary. This paper presents an original modelling method based on the graphical description of analogue electronic functional blocks. This method is intended to be automated and integrated into a design framework: specialists create behavioural...

In this paper, we present the computer-aided analogue behavioural modelling tool ABSynth (Analogue Behavioural model Synthesizer). The behaviour to model is expressed graphically in the form of a Functional Diagram (FD) drawn as the interconnection of Graphical Building Symbols (GBS), each of which stands for some elementary analogue behaviour. The functional diagram describes the behaviour of...
