Using Matlab To Drive a Cadence DAC

buttonGuy

Hello,

I have a DAC that I want to test and simulate in Cadence. My current test setup uses the ahdLIB ADC and an ideal pulse wave voltage source to generate a digital signal. I then feed this digital signal to my DAC and compare the pulse wave I sent into the ideal ADC to the wave I get out of the DAC.

What I would like to ultimately do [for future System level modelling] is use Matlab to replace the ADC+pulse wave voltage source combination. I would like to use Matlab to generate my digital signal and then feed this signal into Cadence to drive the DAC in Cadence. What do you recommend is the best way to achieve this?

I did some researching on how to accomplish this and found some stuff on a Spectre/RF Matlab toolbox and also cosimulation option in the ADE under Setup>Matlab/Simulink as well as cosimulation using Spectre/Simulink or AMS/Simulink. I’m not sure if any of these options are helpful to my problem. Do you think they are helpful for my situation?

I’m using IC6.1.4

Thanks!
