SystemVerilog AMS (Analog/Mixed-Signal) Working Group

Charter

To develop, update and promote analog and mixed-signal extensions that are aligned with the SystemVerilog (IEEE 1800) language.

Chair: Peter Grove, Renesas

Scope

The working group is currently working on alignment of Verilog-AMS with the SystemVerilog work of the IEEE 1800, or inclusion of AMS capabilities in a new "SystemVerilog AMS" standard. In addition, work is underway to focus on new features and enhancements requested by the community to improve mixed-signal design and verification, as well as to extend SystemVerilog Assertions to analog and mixed-signal designs.

Background

The Accellera board of directors approved the Verilog-AMS LRM, version 2.4 in June 2014. This version superseded the previous version of the Verilog-AMS LRM and was intended to be the final version of this standard with future work focused on alignment with SystemVerilog.

However, in response to feedback from the community on areas within the standard that warranted improvement, the Verilog-AMS 2023 update significantly bolsters analog-specific functionalities while also facilitating compatibility with the UVM-MS standard, further aligning the standards. The Verilog-AMS 2023 standard introduces enhancements to analog constructs, along with clarifications for existing constructs.
