Abstract:
An event-driven modeling technique in standard VHDL is presented in this paper for the high level simulation of a resistive bolometer operating in closed-loop mode and implementing smart functions. The closed-loop mode operation is achieved by the capacitively coupled electrical substitution technique. The event-driven VHDL modeling technique is successfully applied to behavioral modeling and simulation of such a multiphysics system involving optical, thermal and electronics mechanisms. The modeling technique allows the high level simulations for the test of the smart functions algorithms of the future integrated smart-device.
