Title: SNR and ENOB of a DAC in Cadence Spectre Post by repah on Apr 19th, 2020, 7:31pm I am trying to measure the ENOB and SDR / SNDR of a DAC in Cadence Spectre ( I am using old version of Cadence IC5.14). Its a 10GS/S DAC. I am inputting a 10GHz clock, 100 MHz 256mV (full scale) sinuosoid into an ideal 8 bit ADC from ahdlLib. From then it goes into my DAC. I am running/using PSS, and PSS selects the clock and input sinusoid as large frequency signals with beat frequency of 100MHz, I run with conservative and moderate, 10 harmonics, and no other changes. It does not converge to a solution. See settings attached. OR should I run a transient and just do an FFT on the output. Can PSS be used for this type of circuit? Thank you. What am I doing wrong ? |
