It is based on publicly available components and design tools. Additions to the original models are described and hardware and software issues are explained. The prototyping platform is in use by educational and research groups.

This paper presents an example of systemC-ams modeling for a 10 phase 500 MHz charge pump phase lock loop, including digital models like phase/frequency detector and clock N-divider, and analog models like charge pump, low pass filter and voltage controlled oscillator. In order to prove the model's accuracy, the SPICE simulation result from the corresponding CMOS circuits based on the same structure of these models is used for comparison, and PLL systemC-AMS model is validated1.
