Project Help:
·
Matlab code
for plotting ADC spectrum using data from Spectre and calculating ENOB. Modify
accordingly.
o Information on linking Matlab and Spectre in Linux environment is here.
o
Use coherent sampling, and Hann window (nb=3) to reduce spectrum leakage
of quantization noise.
·
Verilog-A model of a comparator
·
Calculating FFT
in Spectre and plotting with prettyfft in
Matlab.
·
Maxim site
with Matlab code for code-density test for INL
and DNL plots.
·
Example Matlab Code for behavioral simulation of a
10-bit pipelined ADC
