This book describes how engineers can make optimum use of the two industry standard analysis and design tools, SystemC and SystemC-AMS. The authors use a system-level design approach, emphasizing how SystemC and SystemC-AMS features can be exploited most effectively to analyze and understand a given electronic system and explore the design space. The approach taken by this book enables system engineers to concentrate on only those SystemC and SystemC-AMS features that apply to their particular problem, leading to more efficient design. The presentation includes numerous realistic and complete examples, which are graded in levels of difficulty to illustrate how a variety of systems can be analyzed with these tools.
