Description

PixESL is an open-source virtual prototyping platform developed at CERN for the design and simulation of pixel detector electronics. Built in C++/SystemC, it enables realistic modeling of detector ASICs used in High Energy Physics experiments—from sensor signal generation to data readout. By allowing rapid and high-level exploration of detector architectures, PixESL accelerates development, aids verification, and improves collaboration between simulation and hardware design teams.
