some problems about Sample and hold circuit

[winsonpku]

now,i designed a Sample and hold circuit for a pipeline ADC
i want to know how to evaluate its performance.
maybe the SNR is a specification
but how to simulate it?
who can tell me the details
any answer is welcome
thanks

use spectre in ic50
.pss
.pac
.pnoise

Also pay attention to the information about the clock

Re: some problems about Samle and hold circuit

how can do these simulations in hspice?
and how can choose sampling capacitor?

Re: some problems about Samle and hold circuit

Some of the most important specs for S/H in pipeline ADC include SNR and THD. You can simulate these parameters in HSPICE, without using spectreRF features. To do this, you need to calculate the kT/C noise and OTA noise contribution carefully due to inherent alias. Other than this, the THD performance can be simply measured by perform FFT on the transient simulation strobed data points when you apply a sinusoidal input.

so you mean by performing the FFT to evaluate the THD
then how to simulate the SNR?

u can also get snr value in frequency domain.
don't include hamonic power.

hspice is not a good tool for S/H in design ADC, esp. for SNR and THD.
Maybe you can try hspiceRF tool

hi all,can any one tell me which chip may replace LF198 because this is not avaliable for me

Re: some problems about Samle and hold circuit

maybe you need a scirpt to add all the pin's power except harmonic~
also use tools, like the spiceexplorer(a small waveform software), it supply the function of FFT/DFT and SNR,SFDR calculation

how to do this?

How about using matlab? I often use this tool. But sometimes the result is so good that I am not very sure.

You should use spectreRf for such simulation.

 

[mists]

for noise analysis such as SNR, you should use RF simulator. for distortion analysis, just general trans simulation and do FFT is enough.
