Pre-lab work
In this lab, we designed a 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) using a chain of resistors.
For
the prelab, I downloaded the lab2 zip file link and uploaded it to the
CMOSedu directory. After opening cadence, I navigated to the
sim_Ideal_ADC_DAC schematic and ran the cooresponding simulation.
The
simulation for this part demonstrates how well DAC
can recreate an analog input signal. This is done by feeding an input
voltage to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and then sent to a DAC
for which the output is graphed against the orginal signal. As you can
see from the graph below, the DAC recreates the analog signal by
outputing a voltage value at equal intervals.
