Title: Sigma Delta Modulator SNDR with Monte-Carlo Simulation in Cadence Post by MehdiOranji on Nov 13th, 2017, 8:40pm Hello, I want to simulate a continuous time sigma delta modulator SNDR with Monte-Carlo simulation in Cadence and see the histogram of the SNDR so as to figure out how the device mismatches impact the modulator performance. I have the output bit stream of the modulator quantizer, I have no idea how to fed the output to the monte-carlo simulation and end-up with the histogram showing "#counts vs. SNDR". I would appreciate it if someone let me know how to do that. Regards, Mehdi |

Title: Re: Sigma Delta Modulator SNDR with Monte-Carlo Simulation in Cadence Post by MehdiOranji on Nov 14th, 2017, 11:16am Thanks Sheldon for your kindly response. The problem is that I am using Cadence 5.10.41 which does not have the viva calculator and the explorer. Do you have any idea how I can do the job in Cadence 5. |

Title: Re: Sigma Delta Modulator SNDR with Monte-Carlo Simulation in Cadence Post by MehdiOranji on Nov 14th, 2017, 5:48pm I have no idea about the SKILL function. Where should I write the function and load and How I can use its output. Even If you have a sample program, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Mehdi |
Title: Re: Sigma Delta Modulator SNDR with Monte-Carlo Simulation in Cadence Post by polyam on Nov 20th, 2017, 8:34pm Hi Mehdi, I have two questions for you? 1- Mismatch analysis of what block you are interested in? 2- Are you going to do an MC analysis for a fully transistor level delta sigma? tnx MehdiOranji wrote on Nov 13th, 2017, 8:40pm:
