Analog Hardware Description Languages for Modeling and Simulation of Microsystems and Mechatronics

  • Chapter
Proceedings of the Third Conference on Mechatronics and Robotics

Abstract

Modeling and simulation of microsystems and mechatronics is a challenging task because different components like information technology, nonlinear dynamics and control, multi-sensing and -actuating are integrated into systems. Analog hardware description languages are well suited for the needs of these applications. They support modeling techniques for electrical analog/digital circuits, hierarchical design, behavioral modeling, nonlinear dynamics and rigid mechanical constraints.
