Hi Lynn,

Thanks for the terminology clarification.  I've always had an intuitive
sense for the terms, but its good to see a clear academic definition.  

One minor bit of additional information ...

  Most "AMS" languages restrict a model to contain either 
  equations or blocks (including components), but not both.

While Verilog-AMS has some restrictions in this area, they are not
difficult to work around.

VHDL-AMS has no such restrictions and allows analog equations, digital
statements, and block instances to be mixed in any arbitrary fashion.
Furthermore, the language places no restrictions on the source of the
instantiated blocks.  In the case of the tool with which I am most
familiar, blocks can originate from VHDL-AMS, Verilog-AMS, SPICE, C,
Verilog, or VHDL (but sorry, no COBOL).


Regards,

Gary
