Help me with power estimation of a digital circuit under ADS

mixed signal simulation

Hi,

I would like to do a mixed signal simulation. The system under simulation has an ADC (sigma-delta type) attached with subsequent digital circuit (I have already written the digital part using verilog (RTL)).

Right now, I want to do a power estimation of my digital circuit, under a typical ADC. However, I don't have experience in analog circuitry. Is there a way that I only take care of the behaviorial structure of the ADC, and then mixed them together somehow with my verilog code, to do a realistic power estimation for digital circuit? :roll:

Any reply will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Spectre can do mixed-signal simulation. You can write a behavioral model for ADC with veriloga.

hsim and nanosim

Spectre & SpectreRF will be better in Mixed-Signal simulation, it can work with Verilog_A.

Re: mixed signal simulation

Try EverCAD's ADiT for your mixed signal.

They have
ADiT (Turbo) for big-A.
It can co-sim with NC-Verilog, VCS or modelsim.

Or you can use EverCAD's ADiT-HDL and ADiT-Turbo.

the website is www.evercad.com

Check it out.
I like it.. easy configuration/set up..

spectre Verilog should ok
