How to testing ADC/DAC by using MATLAB.

I have the same question:
how can i use the data from simulation(such as Hspice) to do some MATLAB test?
that is the interface between Hspice and MATLAB.
can you understand me ,my English is poor.
thanks

I have understood.
you can use the hspice matlab tools.

You can use logic analyzer to get the data. Then data is analysed by MATLAB program.

i am testing DAC using the discrete data obtained from HSPICE simulation. Data frequency is (15/32)*50M and sampling frequency is 50MHz.

However I found that even the data is got from ideal DAC , the FFT plot is not satisfying in matlab with only about 20dB SFDR.

Anyone can tell what is the problem ?

Even with more data points, the situation is the same.

I am using a perl script to generate the ideal DAC output , I am wondering whether the perl script does not have enough accuracy.

loveseed,

1.Be caureful the sampling freuqency can not be integral times of the input frequency.
2. select a complete whole cycle, that means if you choose N points, the N+1 point will exactly overlap the first point.

Thank you!

I have taken care of that.
512 sampling points has 240 data cycles and the discrete data has 16 cycles.

512*15/32=240
every 32 sampling cycles equals 15 data cycles
So the discrete data is periodic after each 15 data cycles.
discrete data cycles: 240/15=16

Any other considerations? I use 50M samping freq and 10M data freq, the situation is better.

I think logic analyzer should be better and necessary

In toolbox, we cannot use the program in window environment.
Do you guys know somehow we can use it in window environment?
