Title: mixed language simulation
Post by ssm on Mar 11^th, 2012, 12:26am

Hello,

I am wondering if possible to include my matlab adc and dac models, in spectre or spice simulations ? Anyone similar like me, trying to avoid complicated data-converter simulations ?

SSM,

It might be easier just to write your own model for the data converter.
There are Verilog-A examples in ahdlLib and bmslib.

Best Regards,

Sheldon

Sheldon, thanks for the kind reply:

1). Do you mean just write a block in Verilog-A or similar language ?

2). Is it possible to simulate matlab code together with netlist in Spice ?

I think that is what Sheldon meant.

Co-simulation interfaces exist for some simulators. Which one do you use?

I actually use Cadence tools for analog/mixed-signal IC simulations. (I might also use LTspice or Pspice for board level stuff).

Best,

ssm,
Search Mathworks home page for "Cadence cosimulation"...
