Abstract:Verilog-A is the analog subset of Verilog-AMS - a hardware description language for analog and mixed-signal systems. Verilog-A is commonly used for the distribution of compact models of semiconductor devices. For such models to be usable a Verilog-A compiler is required. The compiler converts the model equations into a form that can be used by the simulator. Such compilers have been supplied with commercial simulators for many years now. Free software alternatives are much more scarce and limited in the features they offer. The paper gives an overview of Verilog-A, Free software Verilog-A compilers, and Free software/Open source simulators that can simulate compact models defined in Verilog-A. Advantages and disadvantages of individual compilers and simulators are highlighted.

Title:Odprtokodna programska oprema za uporabo kompaktnih modelov v jeziku Verilog-A
Abstract:Verilog-AMS je opisni jezik za mešana analogno-digitalna vezja. Verilog-A je njegov podsklop, ki je namenjen opisu analognih vezij. Pogosto ga uporabljamo za distribucijo kompaktnih modelov polprevodniških elementov. Da bi take modele lahko uporabili v simulatorju vezij, potrebujemo prevajalnik za Verilog-A. Ta pretvori model v obliko, ki jo simulator lahko uporabi pri izračunu odziva vezja. Prevajalniki za Verilog-A so že dlje časa sestavni del tržnih programskih paketov za simulacijo vezij. Odprtokodnih alternativ je manj in podpirajo samo del specifikacije jezika. Članek poda pregled odprtokodnih prevajalnikov in simulatorjev s podporo za kompaktne medele opisane v jeziku Verilog-A s poudarkom na prednostih in slabostih posameznih prevajalnikov in simulatorjev.
Keywords:jezik za opisovanje strojne opreme, Verilog-A, analogna vezja, simulacija vezij, kompaktni modeli
