This project shows how to model a 10-bit pipeline ADC and a 10-bit DAC using ideal components. Used vdc, vpulse, vcvs, switch, res, cap, vccs to construct the 10-bit ADC based on 1-bit per stage pipelined architecture. Models are built in Cadence using ideal components & VerilogA blocks, & Analysis is done on Matlab.
-> Using VerilogA blocks:
- Using Cadence:
Select the transient signal of the DAC's output, then use the "dft" & "dB20" functions in the ADE calculator to plot the output FFT spectrum.

Sample the transient signal of the DAC's output by using the "sample" function in the ADE calculator, then save tha samples in a CSV file, then Run the Matlab code on the CSV data.
