The tutorial will go over setting up the AMS environment, and will go over the design of an ideal DAC. It will also give an overview of the interconnect modules, which are necessary to connect analog and digital blocks to each other. The tutorial is tailored for use by students at Tufts University, but should be applicable to Cadence installations at other institutions. More in-depth information can be found in the documentation supplied by Cadence, which is listed in the Additional Documentation section of this tutorial. AMS-Designer is a simulation environment which allows the simulation of mixed-signal designs. The simulator uses Spectre and NC-Verilog to simulate the analog and digital parts respectively. Interconnect modules are used to translate signals between analog and digital ports which are connected together. Another mixed-signal simulator available in AMS-designer 是 Cadence is SpectreVerilog.
