Evaluation and Analysis of Hybrid Systems

Disadvantageous decisions in the design process of mixed analog/digital systems result in non-optimal implementations or- even worse- offend against design constraints. A non-optimal starting solution can be iteratively improved but this requires time consuming redesign. If one knew all the consequences for the later implementation of a decision made in the design process it would be possible- in most cases- to choose a better alternative. The capability to choose good design alternatives is even more necessary for hybrid system design than for digital system design due to the significantly larger design space. In this survey we motivate the use of evaluation techniques by introducing a design methodology. These techniques are meant to enable a good allocation of resources in a top-down design methodology, leading to short design cycles. Several of these evaluation techniques for analog and digital subsystems are presented.
