Final remarks
The presented introduction to VHDL-AMS
should allow the potential users to understand its basic mechanisms
and possible application areas.
VHDL-AMS is a new standard but is coming as an extension
of mature VHDL environments.
This will allow for its rapid expansion in the domain
of mixed-signal designs.
The driving force will be the need to model and implement
mixed analog-digital systems on chip.
New compiler/simulation tools for VHDL-AMS are going
to be available from many companies Analog, FTL Systems, Mentor Graphics,
(http://www.analogy.com,

Meanwhile the SPICE to VHDL-AMS translators
and analyzers pave the way for a widespread reception of VHDL-AMS.
