Requirements, goals, and tasks of

 MSR Working Group

VHDL-AMS

Relationship between automotive manufacturer and supplier

Motivation

Founding of MSR-Working Group
VHDL-AMS
study about the usability of VHDL-AMS to describe the
  behavior of controller and plants in automotive applications
  (Dr. Ingrid Bausch-Gall, 1994)
VHDL-AMS is suitable
 MSR defined VHDL-AMS as model exchange format
 further activities have been stopped until first VHDL-AMS
  simulator would have been available
 Adoption of  VHDL-AMS as IEEE-Standard 1076.1
   (March, 1999)
 MSR Working Group VHDL-AMS has been founded in
  January 2000

VHDL-AMS Working Group Partners

Goals of Working Group VHDL-AMS
Development of a common
  model pool
 Building up cooperation with
  simulator companies
 VHDL-AMS as unified model
  exchange format
 Adaptation of VHDL-AMS for
  automotive applications

Tasks of Working Group VHDL-AMS

VHDL-AMS, Standard IEEE 1076.1
 VHDL is IEEE 1076
  (VHSIC Hardware Description Language)
 VHDL-AMS is extension for Analog and  Mixed Signals
 VHDL-AMS has means to describe:
 HW/SW systems
 physical plants (e.g. hydraulic valve, gear box)
 Powerful tools are available
