An analog chip is a set of miniature electronic analog circuit s formed on a single piece of semiconductor material. Description The voltage and Electric current current at specified points in the circuits of an analog chips vary continuously in time. In contrast, digital chips only use and create voltages or currents at discrete levels, with no intermediate values. Analog chips often have much more passive elements Inductor Capacitor s Resistor s than digital chips. Analog chips may also contain digital logic elements to replace some analog functions, or to allow the chip to communicate with a microprocessor . For this reason and since logic is commonly implemented using CMOS technology, these chips use BiCMOS processes by companies such as Freescale , Texas Instruments , STMicroelectronics and others. This is known as mixed signal processing and allows a designer to incorporate more functions in the chip. Some of the benefits include load protection, reduced pats count and higher reliability. ref Information Freescale website, Mar 28th 2010, http www.freescale.com webapp sps site overview.jsp?nodeId 014359sMjvtxRl&tid taDR About Freescale Analog Products ref Pure analog chips in information processing have been mostly replaced with digital chips.

Analog verification is a methodology for performing functional verification on analog, mixed signal and RF integrated circuits and System on a chip systems on chip . Discussion of analog verification began in 2005 when it started to become recognized that the analog portion of large mixed signal chips had gotten so complex that a significant and ever increasing number of these chips were being designed with functional errors in the analog portion that prevented them from operating correctly. Technical details Analog verification is built on the idea that transistor level simulation will always be too slow to provide adequate functional verification. Instead, it is necessary to build simple and efficient models of the blocks that make up the analog portion of the design and use those to verify the design. Those models are typically written in Verilog or Verilog AMS , but could also be written in VHDL or VHDL AMS . However, simply using a simple functional model is not sufficient. It is also necessary to build a comprehensive self checking testbench, that thoroughly exercises the design and compare its response against a previously written specification for the design. Furthermore, this testbench should be applied in turn to both the model and the design. In this case, the design is represented with a transistor level schematic. If both the model and the design pass all tests, and if the testbench is comprehensive, then this confirms that the model is consistent with the design and that the design is consistent with the specification. Applying a comprehensive testbench to an entire analog functional unit such as an audio codec , power management unit, serdes , or RF transceiver, represented at the transistor level is impractical. So instead, the verification proceeds hierarchically ... matches the block level specification.
