A system-level model of your hardware lets you verify the correct behavior of your design against this golden reference. You can optimize design tradeoffs for your digital, analog, or mixed-signal design; verify the impact on system behavior; and reuse the model to verify HDL and circuit implementation.

Explore and Verify Your Design with System Simulation

Verify that your algorithm and component designs meet system requirements by using MATLAB and Simulink models to specify behavior, evaluate alternative designs, and integrate components. You can refine designs to create bit-true and timing-accurate reference models for digital and analog hardware components as well as a reusable test bench.

Reuse Models to Verify FPGA and Digital ASIC Implementations

MathWorks tools help ensure that your HDL implementations of FPGA and ASIC components match the system-level behavior of your model without creating additional test benches. You verify your implementations by cosimulating MATLAB or Simulink models with HDL simulators from Cadence, Mentor Graphics, and Synopsys using EDA Simulator Link™. You can also automatically generate HDL code and test benches for testing hardware designs in an HDL environment and for prototyping on FPGA development boards using Simulink HDL Coder™ and Filter Design HDL Coder™.

Unify Modeling and Verification of Analog and Mixed-Signal Systems

Use Simulink and related products to refine and verify behavioral models of analog and mixed-signal components. You can create designs to handle nonlinearities, timing jitter, and other impairments associated with analog hardware. By cosimulating your models with analog simulation tools from Cadence and Mentor Graphics, you can verify that the circuit implementation matches the golden reference.
