Abstract-This paper focuses on commonalities and differences between the two mixed-signal hardware description languages VHDL-AMS and Verilog-AMS in the case of modeling heterogeneous or multi-discipline systems. The paper has two objectives. The first one consists of modeling the structure and the behavior of an airbag system using both the VHDL-AMS and the Verilog-AMS languages. Such a system encompasses several time abstractions (i.e. discrete-time and continuous-time), several disciplines, or energy domains (i.e., electrical, thermal, optical, mechanical, and chemical), and several continuous-time description formalisms (i.e., conservative-law and signal-flow descriptions). The second objective is to discuss the results of the proposed modeling process in terms of the descriptive capabilities of the VHDL-AMS and Verilog-AMS languages and of the generated simulation results. The tools used are Advance-MS from Mentor Graphics for VHDL-AMS and AMS Simulator from Cadence Design Systems for Verilog-AMS. The paper shows that both languages offer effective means to describe and simulate multi-discipline systems, although using different descriptive approaches. It also highlights current tool limitations since full language definitions are not yet supported.

“…However, when dealing with WSN containing dozens of nodes, and with a carrier frequency of 2.4 GHz, these frameworks show rapidly their limits in terms of interoperability and simulation performance. One possible solution to the modeling and simulation of "More than Moore" multiprocessor heterogeneous systems [6] is SystemC-AMS [7] [8] [9] [10] [11], an extension to the existing library SystemC [12].…”
