Title: Cadence SFDR and ENOB simulation for DAC/ADC over frequency and input amplitude Post by repah on Apr 6th, 2020, 2:36pm Hello, I am using Cadence Spectre/Virtuoso IC5.1, so I dont have access to the new Spectrum Assistant. I want to use Cadence Spectre/Virtuoso to plot SFDR and ENOB for a DAC (but also for an ADC later) over frequency and input amplitude. Is there a way to do this using calculator and parametric analysis ? Thank you. |
Title: Re: Cadence SFDR and ENOB simulation for DAC/ADC over frequency and input amplitude Post by Andrew Beckett on Apr 10th, 2020, 2:02am OK, well it's a bit tough if you're using a software release that came out 16 years ago and was last updated 9 years ago. The Rapid Adoption Kit I mentioned in the other post is not going to help you very much then... If I remember rightly, the wavescan calculator had a spectrum function - but I may be mistaken as to when that was introduced. You should check the documentation. You really should look into trying to use a software release from at least the last 5 years! Andrew. |

It's difficult to learn the fundamental concepts when the program does everything for you. Once you know, it's good to go to the lastest software version though. |
