Open SystemC Initiative Hosts Open Teleconference to Review Analog-Mixed Signal Draft 1 Standard

SystemC Community Invited to Join and Provide Feedback
--(Business Wire)--
WHO: The Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI), an independent non-profit organization
dedicated to supporting and advancing SystemC(tm) as an industry-standard
language for electronic system-level (ESL) design, announced it will host an
open teleconference with the SystemC Community to present, discuss and review
the Analog-Mixed Signal (AMS) Draft 1 standard. The public review period ends
March 31st. For more information and to register: www.systemc.org.

WHAT/WHEN: Open Teleconference with the SystemC Community regarding AMS Draft 1
Standard.

TUESDAY, March 24 - AMS Draft 1 Teleconference (open to the SystemC Community)
Time:17:00-19:00 - Central Europe; 12:00-2:00 pm - US Eastern; 9:00-11:00 am -
US Pacific

The agenda will include a discussion on the motivation behind the
standardization of AMS extensions followed by an introduction of the standard
and language reference manual (LRM). The session concludes with an open question
and answer period.

A presentation will be available on the public AMSWG page at www.systemc.org.

Registration is required for this event. To register and for dial-in details

The AMS draft 1 standard is available for download under open-source license at
www.systemc.org. The worldwide SystemC community is encouraged to provide
feedback using the AMS discussion forum at
http://www.systemc.org/Discussion_Forums/ams_forum/.

WHY: The AMS draft 1 standard has been developed by the OSCI AMS working group
and proposes unique capabilities for the design and modeling of embedded
analog/mixed-signal applications at various levels of design abstraction. These
AMS extensions will provide a uniform and standardized modeling approach, which
can be used in combination with digitally-oriented ESL design methods,
supporting a design refinement methodology for functional modeling, architecture
exploration, and virtual prototyping of embedded analog/mixed-signal systems.
