Proposals for new features in VHDL-AMS and new packages
- Define suggestions
- Define project champions and related study groups
- Convert suggestions to requirements (white papers)
- Define priorities (working group vote on white papers)
- Develop language changes or new packages
- Review language changes or new packages in working group and vote
- Proceed to an IEEE ballot for approved changes and packages.
This page gathers a number of proposals for new features in the VHDL-AMS language and new companion packages. They are not yet necessary achieving the form of complete white papers. The proposals are placed here to be exposed to the whole working group in order to get feedbacks and possibly to create active study groups around each proposal. Feedbacks may be done to project champions or to the whole 1076.1 mailing list. In order to better define discussion threads, it is proposed to start each email subject line with '[1076.1 <project code>]', where <project code> is defined below.
A proposal should at least include the following information:
- The context of the proposed changes or extensions (needs, state of the art, previous work(s), related (standardization) work(s), application examples for which the proposed changes or extensions would bring significant improvements)
- A list of requirements (language syntax should be avoided as much as possible)
- Proposed language changes/extensions or package definitions
- Revision history.
Mixed Netlists
Champion: Ernst Christen, Synopsys.
Project code: MNL
Abstract: The need to connect ports of different kinds (i.e. signal ports, terminal ports and quantity ports) and of different types or natures (e.g. electrical, mechanical, thermal, etc.) arose during the development of the first release of the 1076.1 standard. Due to the complexity of the issue, it was decided to postpone the development of a solution to a future revision of the 1076.1 standard. The following white paper is presenting a pretty well advanced proposal, although there are still a number of open issues to fix.

Table Data Types and Lookup Functions
Champion: Joachim Haase, Fraunhofer IIS/EAS.
Project code: TLU
Abstract: Table-based models are used to define behaviors characterized by a set of sampled values obtained through measurements of physical phenomena or through simulation. Advantages ot table-based models are avoiding defining complex analytical functions and accelerating simulation. The proposal is about defining proper types and functions that would be included in a new standard package.

Requirements and Verification
Champion: Yannick Hervé, ENSPS, InESS/CNRS.
Project code: RV
Abstract: This proposal aims at supporting the definition of requirements or assumptions about the modeled design and providing a way to verify that the given requirements or assumptions are met.
