Description

This contribution outlines the development of PixESL[1], a virtual prototyping framework for pixel detectors based on C++/SystemC. It offers a platform for describing detector ASICs designed for High Energy Physics experiments at a high level of abstraction, with the capability to simulate an electronics system from the output of a framework for semiconductor particle interaction, such as AllPix2, to the readout of a digital data packet to the experiment back-end. The framework supports modelling analog/digital front-end, readout networks, data processing, and formatting. This presentation details the implementation of the PixESL framework and its use in a pixel detector being developed for the LHCb experiment at CERN. The framework serves as an effective and rapid prototyping method, as well as a reference model for verification.
