Abstract :
This work presents a new behavioral simulator capable of modeling various types of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Behavior of basic building modules (BBMs) of ADCs, such as for example sample-and-hold, and comparators is encapsulated in dynamic linked libraries (DLLs). Predefined behavioral models of BBMs and a netlist describing connections between them are used to form a behavioral representation of simulated ADC. As an example of BBM, a behavioral model of comparator module is presented. An 8-bit multi-stage ADC is used to demonstrate simulation process.
