Hi Joginder, Standardization efforts are currently performed within the Accellera standardization organization, although there is a long term intent to have Verilog-AMS become an IEEE standard, we're currently not working on that. We do however try to conform as much as possible to IEEE standards with the upcoming 2.3 release of the standard. This will make the transition from an Accellera standard into an IEEE standard simpler. The fully approved 2.3 standard can reasonably be expected somewhere in the middle of next year. On the public documents site of the Verilog-AMS standardization website (www.eda-stds.org/verilog-ams) draft versions of the various chapters and an initial draft of the standard can be found. Verilog-AMS is very well supported in the commercial EDA offerings from many companies: the big EDA companies all have their mixed-signal simulation environment supporting Verilog-AMS, mostly adhering to the 2.2 standard. There are also offerings from smaller companies specializing in mixed signal simulation solutions. Next to that the analog subset known as Verilog-A is supported in nearly all analog, SPICE-like simulators on the market. I hope this answers your questions, but feel free to ask if anything is unclear.

And it is in use in design projects. I am curious to know as to how soon will we have an IEEE standard finalized/approved/published. Could someone from standardization committee please throw some light on this? Other things I would appreciate knowing are how good is the support by existing simulators and its popularity among analog/ams designers. Well, that is a wider question but it always has made me curious. -- Regards, Joginder. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
