Prelab:
For the purpose of the pre lab I initially backed up all work related to the lab and downloaded the zip file containing the lab 2 Ideal 10-bit ADC to DAC
circuit
to my CMOSedu library. I unzipped the file and ran the initial
transient response simulation. I experimented with the circuit by
initially removing the wires
connecting pin B[9:0]

series which will be the N-well resistors implementing the 10 bit DAC
