ADC & DAC Analysis

GroupB2, ****84, I



Overview

ADC DAC Schematic & Simulation for Sine

  • I uesd Ideal ADC and DAC component to make a circuit of 4-Bit ADC & DAC
  • I check the behaviour of my circuit
  • It shows a Sine wave with 11 periods as shown in figure

  • FFT Behaviour of 4-Bit ADC DAC for Sine

  • After check the sine waveform I find the FFT behaviour of this sine signal.
  • I check the Signal to Noise of input and output of the FFT Signal.
  • As you see in graph the input signal has less noise as compare to Output because of 4-Bit Input.
  • Output is very noisy and its very difficult to find the noise flow as well as values of Harmonics.
  • LTspice didnot provide all values for data converter Analysis so thats why we use external Data Processing.

  • ADC DAC Schematic & Simulation for Ramp

  • Ramp test I used another voltage source text with same rise and fall time 655.36u.
  • pulse voltage source:V1 in1 0 PULSE(0 1 0 655.36u 655.36u 0 1310.72u).
  • As you seen in Ramp wave,the step size is fixed because all the value are equally distributed.

  • Analysis of ADC DAC for Ramp

    INL & DNL Analysis of DAC for Ramp

  • For this analysis i just used the given java script and get the following result that are shown in figure.
  • Here First graph shows the Extracted Vales of the Ramp signal While other show INL & DNL.
  • In graph Green one is ideal value while blue line shows the extracted values opf the signal.
  • I have find ideal ADC and DAC curve same So the INL & DNL must be Zero.

  • ADC Histogram Test for Ramp

  • For this analysis I again used the same java script and get the following result that are shown in figure.
  • In Histogram test I increase the number of steps and see how many time the code digit will come at ADC Output.
  • In Graph for each steps of Ramp signal INL & DNL is again Zero.

  • INL & DNL Analysis of DAC for Sine

  • Again form the given Java script I find the DNL & INL of DAC.
  • Here First graph shows the INL & DNL of the Sine signal.
  • In graph Green shows INL while Blue shows DNL Value.
  • 2nd graph showns Extracted values of the integer.

  • FFt Data Analysis of DAC for Sine

  • FFT webpage By using this web page I analysis the FFT accourding to your given instruction.
  • Here First graph shows the INL & DNL of the Sine signal.
  • In 1st graph it shows simple sine wave form.
  • 2nd graph shows the FFT analysis of the sine signal and get a limited number.
  • 3rd graph shows INL & DNL.ALl values of INL is zero because of missing code.
  • 4th graph shows the histogram valuse which is expected to be Zero but its not. May be it is error on Java script.




  • Schematic & Simulation of R2R DAC

  • The schematic shows a 4-Bit DAC
  • By changing the values of Resistors I simulate a Ramp test as well as Sine.
  • I find the INL & DNL values and discuss in next slides.
  • Simulation of R2R DAC for Sine Signal

  • 1st graph shows the FFT behaviour of the R2R .
  • 2nd graph shows the histogram test and we see the value are not zero,its shows error in INL & DNL values.


  • Simulation of R2R DAC for Ramp Signal

  • The graph on left hand shows the extracted values of the Ramp signal .
  • The graph ob Right hand shows the INL & DNL values of the Ramp signal.
  • INL shows big jump at higher order bit while 2 lower jumps at least bit of the signal.

  • Summary

    • 1st I Analysis the 4-Bit ADC & DAC for Sine as well as for the Ramp signal.
    • By observing the analysis of schematic, I understand how conversion can take place in Analog & Digital Signal.
    • I leared how to find the INL & DNL values of the signal, through these value I also able to find the SNR.
    • I also learned the FFT and histogram test of the ADC
    • I also used R2R circuit and again observed the behavior of 4-Bit ADC & DAC.
    • I also Learned how to make web Report.
