VHDL-AMS on DE0 Nano dev board

Hi guys,

Just got a new DE0-Nano dev board. Is it possible to use vhdl-ams to create a analog component & program it on FPGA using Quartus 2 or any other software

    AFAIK VHDL-AMS is only used for simulation. The Cyclone FPGA doesn't have any analog part anyway so it doesn't make a lot of sense to try and synthesize AMS in it.

    Ok fine, but is it possible to use an adc before it & use the electrical components library of vhdl ams

    VHDL AMS is no use on an FPGA. It is for simulation only.

    You can use an ADC before the FPGA yes. FPGA deal with digital signals.
