1. Application for P1666.1 study group Martin Barnasconi NXP Semiconductors April 2013

2. P1666.1 Study group request (1) Request for a study group to examine industry interest and participation for analog/mixed-signal (AMS) extensions standard to IEEE Std. 1666, “SystemC Language Reference Manual” Objective is to standardize the “SystemC AMS language reference manual” Similar as for VDHL-AMS (IEEE Std. 1076.1) we envision the AMS language standard becoming a “dot 1” standard to IEEE1666

3. P1666.1 Study group request (2) SystemC AMS 2.0 standard has been released by Accellera Systems Initiative in March 2013 – Standardization started in Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI) in 2006, now part of Accellera Systems Initiative – SystemC AMS standard development > 7 years Anticipated industry interest and participation from the following IEEE-SA members: – NXP Semiconductors, STMicroelectronics, Fraunhofer IIS/EAS – Therefore we propose the creation of an entity based study group Initial work of the study group: create PAR
