Mixed-signal modeling with AleC++: Specific features of the HDL

Abstract

Alecsis behavioral simulator and its mixed-signal hardware description language (HDL) AleC++ form an open simulation environment, where electronic circuits and non-electrical systems can be analyzed. This paper describes some of the features of AleC++ language, namely mainly those that are not in accordance with the IEEE standard for VHDL and VHDL-AMS, but are very useful for modeling complex systems.
