Analog subsystems continue to play an important role in integrated circuits $($ICs$)$ alongside the

prevalent digital processing in modern electronics. While digital domains offer rapid prototyping as a

primary advantage, programmable devices like field$-$programmable gate arrays $($FPGAs$)$ are

extensively utilized for verifying digital hardware designs. FPGAs streamline the verification process

by obviating the need for initial production of test silicons, thereby optimizing both time and costs.

However, testing digital hardware designs within mixed$-$signal ICs $($MSICs$),$ encompassing both digital

and analog systems, presents formidable challenges due to their amalgamation with analog subsystems.

Addressing this challenge, one viable approach is analog simulation on CPU$-$based machines, albeit

potentially requiring interfaces between the simulation machine and the FPGA, particularly impacting

real$-$time simulation scenarios. A potential remedy is emulating the analog component of mixed$-$signal

chips alongside the digital component on the same chip.

In this research based assignment, it is important to understand the difference between simulation and

emulation. Simulation involves modeling the dynamics of a circuit to comprehend its behaviour,

whereas emulation aims to replicate a system's behaviour on another system with identical

functionality..

Please note that the idea behind this assignment to apply the knowledge learnt in classes and lab

of the course and apply them to a field that needs some research and involves state of the art

technology. Before you submit the report, it must be mandatorily reviewed by your mentor and

his comments must be part of the report
