> VIRTUOSO AMS DESIGNER SIMULATOR is a good solution for you.
> AMS designer allows you simulating Mixed-signal designs, it features
> the following things.
> . 2 Analog solvers : Spectre and Ultrasim that. You can switch back
> and forth between them depending on the accuray/speed you want to
> achieve.
> . ncverilog tools for digital simulation (ncvlog, ncelab, ncsim ....)
>
> You can use AMS designer in 2 models:
>
> 1. The Hierarchy Editor (HED) user mode, that's the one I'm using and
> the one I prefer. I think Cadence recommands this one as well but not
> sure. Andrew may help on this.
> 2. The ADE use model. You just run your simulation form the Analog
> Design Environment, the same as you do for Spectre but choosing ''ams
> this time.
>
> Running AMS designers is a quite straight forward step. You just need
> some specific files (cds.lib, hdl.var), a connect lib to bridge the
> analog/digital signals and your design.
> Well, the best way for you is to give a look to the folowing do***ents

> 1. Virtuoso AMS Environment User Guide (amsenvug.pdf)
> 2. AMS Designer Simulator User Guide (amssimug.pdf)
>
> The former comes with a very nice chapter (2) Quick-Start Tutorial, I

> other chaps will help.
> Anyway, If you havn't got AMS to run and you want to convince your
> boss to get it, just link him to the following do***ent. It's well
