anti-aliasing filter for ADCs
Oct 01st, 2019, 6:25am
 
Hi,

I have a very basic question. Do we need to use anti-aliasing filter (AFF) when SIMULATING Nyquist rate ADCs and switched capacitor sigma delta ADCs?

How important is it to have AAF in simulation and chip measurement?
Please elaborate.
Thanks

Presumably this depends on what you're simulating or measuring. If all your input frequencies are below the Nyquist rate, then it's not necessary to include the anti-aliasing filter. If you potentially have significant signal levels at frequencies above the Nyquist rate, or are trying to assess the effectiveness of your anti-aliasing filter, then yes you would...
