This is exactly the book that I was looking for to start learning VHDL-AMS, since I have been working for the last 10 years with models in MAST but now I need to start to build models for System Vision simulator and I have no previous experience with this kind of language.

VHDL-AMS contains everything that a typical language does, like C. But it goes beyond that by solving equations for you. For instance, the AMS part can help you solve ordinary differential equations, which is different from other computer languages. I feel that the book describes the usage of the language without giving enough details. You will have to learn certain aspects of the VHDL-AMS through your colleagues or other technical papers. VHDL-AMS has enough material to justify more than one book. A typical computer language takes one book to explain. VHDL-AMS goes way beyond that. So, do not get frustrated if you cannot learn everything from this book. With one single volume, it is just not feasible to cover everything.
