Hi,

I am a student and I would like to find out how to
measure INL / DNL /SFDR for a simple DAC using Cadence.

thanks

Hi,

Wonder can anyone advise ?
1) I have used the following calculations to measure the fundamental
but not sure how to obtain the harmonics to determine the Spurious free
dynamic response.

(ymax(dB20(dft((VT("/DAC_output"))) 26 52 2048
"Rectangular" 1 1)))

2) I have also used another approach - using the Fourier component
in the analoglib with a single sin tone but output is questionable.
-measure i/p: sin tone from DAC output
-ref i/p: sin tone

Thanks. I found the problem.
It seems silly - I need to use the current meter
to plot & measure rather than just selecting the node or net.

what about a pss analysis?
