A New Approch to Design and Implement Oscillator for Soc Application

Abstract

This paper applies embedding knowledge into model based design method, an efficient and cost-effective way to develop embedded systems. The approach is based on a single design description in the graphical Matlab/Simulink environment that is used for FPGA emulation, ASIC design, verification and chip testing. This simulation-based approach gives a better understanding of design alternatives and tradeoffs than traditional prototype-based design methodologies. It enables to optimize design to meet predefined performance criteria. The methodology is tested for designing VCO and the simulation results confirm the efficiency of presented methodology.
