Abstract
The paper details and compares two implementations of the same optoelectronic interconnection scheme, coded with Mixed Hardware Description Languages VHDL-AMS and Verilog-AMS. The scheme encompasses several interacting domains (thermal, optical and electrical). It includes a temperature sensitive transmission emitter designed with deep sub-micron technology transistors, a laser diode for light emission, a transmission medium (free space or waveguide) and a transmission receiver, composed of a single photodiode. First, we describe the hierarchical model itself. Second, we present the features common to VHDL-AMS [1,2] and Verilog-AMS [3,4,5]. Third, we describe the main parts of the model with these two HDLs, with a special emphasis on conservative/signal-flow semantics and model interconnections.
