MIXED SIGNAL SIMULATION

hi,,
I am using ic5141 and wrote a simple verilog-ams code for 1-bit DAC
where input is digital signal and output is analog.After that i
instantiated in schematic window for simulating it.
I reffered manuels to simulate this but i am not getting any proper
idea for simulating mixed design.
For simulating any design, is it compulsory to go for "config"
views rather than simple schematic view??
Whats the need of config view if we dnt have any hierarchial design??

 

Hi,

You can simulate your Mixed signal ADC using the AMS simulator from
ADE. As you mentioned, you need a config view as a start point. The
Config view allows you switching between different views of your
design. Say for example your ADC is a simple verilog-AMS file as for
now. Later on, you may make a physical design for it, i.e. a
transistor level schematic and ultimately a physical layout. A config
view allows you simulating either representation from one single
testbench.
Look at the AMS documents in your IC/IUS streams.
