Analog and mixed signal (AMS) designs are an important part of embedded systems that link digital designs to the analog world. Due to challenges associated with its verification process, AMS designs require a considerable portion of the total design cycle time. In contrast to digital designs, the verification of AMS systems is a challenging task that requires lots of expertise and deep understanding of their behavior. Researchers started lately studying the applicability of formal methods for the verification of AMS systems as a way to tackle the limitations of conventional verification methods like simulation. This paper surveys research activities in the formal verification of AMS designs as well as compares the different proposed approaches.
A survey of the formal verification of AMS circuits can be found in REF .
