Technical professional association IEEE, US, has announced that a revision of IEEE 1076.1.1 - Standard for VHDL Analog and Mixed-Signal Extensions - Packages for Multiple Energy Domain Support - has been approved and published. In addition, the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board has approved two projects for the revision of standards for the Very High Speed Integrated Circuits (VHSIC) Hardware Description Language (VHDL) reference manual and VHDL analogue and mixed-signal extensions.
IEEE 1076.1.1 defines a collection of VHDL packages, compatible with IEEE 1076.1, along with recommendations for conforming use, in order to facilitate the interchange of simulation models of physical components and subsystems. The packages include the definition of standard types, subtypes, natures and constants for modelling in multiple energy domains (electrical, fluidic, mechanical, etc.) The packages are intended for use primarily in the modelling of multiple energy domain systems.
When completed, IEEE P1076 - Standard for VHDL Language Reference Manual - will define the syntax and semantics of VHDL. Enhancements are intended to improve designer productivity by allowing more efficient specification of models or specification of functionality that was previously not possible or impractical via VHDL. The aim is also to improve design quality and to address the significant and growing portion of the electronic system design schedule that is being spent in ensuring a design is functionally correct before manufacturing. IEEE P1076.1 - Standard VHDL Analog and Mixed-Signal Extensions - will revise the existing standard to add selected new features to VHDL-AMS, a hardware description language for the description and the simulation of analog, digital and mixed-signal systems.
