Benefits

  • Bridges the gap between digital and analog simulation in system-level design
  • Enables hybrid modeling with continuous and discrete-time logic
  • Facilitates rapid prototyping and early validation of analog control behavior
  • Enhances debugging with waveform, zero-crossing, and event-triggered inspection tools
  • Allows co-simulation with digital, memory, and processor subsystems

The Analog models in VisualSim Architect enable simulation of real-world analog behavior and control processes. These components allow engineers to analyze time-domain signal behavior, motor control loops, analog signal processing, and hybrid continuous-discrete systems. The library supports both continuous-time modeling and event-driven techniques to mimic real analog circuits and control logic in embedded systems.

Overview

Can be integrated with:

  • Digital logic and embedded processors in the VisualSim library
  • Sensor models and actuator controls in cyber-physical systems
  • Communication components for analog waveform transmission over networks
  • Simulation scripts for behavioral loop testing or real-time feedback tracking

Supported Standards

No formal analog simulation standards. Fully customizable within VisualSim framework.
