## A Glance at the ADC IP

The  Design Specifications of the ADC IP can be found [here](/Documentation/Specifications.pdf).

The SAR ADC is built using 5 important blocks:
1. Anti-Aliasing Filter
2. [Sample and Hold](https://github.com/uday2012/sample_hold)
3. [Comparator](https://github.com/mou3ananya/prelayoutWork)
4. [SAR](https://github.com/shalini161/SAR_Logic)
4. [DAC](https://github.com/sherylcorina/R2R_DAC)

## Running the Simulation

To enter the Ngspice Shell, open the terminal & type:
```
$ ngspice
```
To simulate a netlist, type:
```
ngspice 1 -> source <filename>.cir
```

You can exit from the Ngspice Shell by typing:
```
ngspice 1 -> exit
```
 or 
 
```
ngspice 1 -> quit
```

## Pre-Layout Simulation

To clone the Repository and download the Netlist files for Simulation, enter the following commands in your terminal.

```
$  sudo apt install -y git
$  git clone https://github.com/ADC-TEAM2020/SAR_ADC
$  cd SAR_ADC/Simulation/PreLayout_v1.0/
```
### Transfer Function of SAR ADC [INPUT RANGE 0-3.3]

### Waveform Analysis of SAR ADC [INPUT RANGE 0-3.3]

```
 Open the sar_adc.cir file and enter the input voltage [0V-3.3V] as shown in the image below.
```

Run the netlist file using the following command.

```
$  ngspice sar_adc.cir
```
Observe the corresponding Digital Output when EOC[End-of-Conversion Signal] is HIGH between 11.5us -12.0us

```
Vin = 2000mV
Digital Code= 1001101101 (621)
```

## Pre-Layout DNL Errror

**Max DNL Error = 7.663975155279 LSB**

## Pre-Layout INL Errror

**To be recomputed using Best Fit Curve method, accounting for gain and offset error**

## Post Layout Simulation

### Transfer Function of SAR ADC [INPUT RANGE 0-3.3]

## Post-Layout DNL Errror

## Post-Layout INL Errror

**To be recomputed using Best Fit Curve method, accounting for gain and offset error**

## Open-Source VLSI Tools

## About Ngspice 
Ngspice is an open source mixed-signal circuit simulator.

### Installing Ngspice

#### For Ubuntu

Open your terminal and type the following to install Ngspice
```
$  sudo apt-get install -y ngspice
```

## Magic
 
 Magic is a VLSI layout tool.

Type the following to install Magic in Ubuntu
```
$  wget http://opencircuitdesign.com/magic/archive/magic-8.3.54.tgz
$  tar xvfz magic-8.3.54.tgz
$  cd magic-8.3.54
$  ./configure
$  sudo make
$  sudo make install
```

## Issues | Improvements | Future Work

1. Script to automate DNL/INL Calculations completely will be developed.
2. Layout will be redone following recommended Mixed Signal Layout practices.
3. INL will be recalculated using the Best Fit Curve method, accounting for gain and offset error.
4. DNL error for lower digital codes needs to be reduced.
5. Sample & Hold must be optimized to improve hold capabilty.
6. Comparator design should be modified to reduce Deadband and Offset.
7. Opamp to be used in DAC must be optimized to give a better transient response and higher Bandwidth.
8. The number of transistors used in a SAR logic must be reduced. The Non-Redundant Successive Approximation Register architecture, which requires only 'N' D flip flops for N-bit conversion, can be employed for this.
9. Anti-Aliasing Filter yet to be designed.
