Warm-Up:
The BWRDAC4.CIR is the netlist for 4-Bit BWRDAC circuit and is provided as example.
Double-click to open:
WSPICE Window:
Open BWRDAC4.CIR in WSPICE to start the simulation.

Simulation Result:
Exercise 1: 8-BIT Binary Weighted Resistor DAC
Write a SPICE netlist for 8-Bit BWRDAC.
Modify the BWRDAC4.CIR file and rename to BWRDAC8.CIR.
Run the simulation to generate the waveform.
Submit BWRDAC8.CIR together with this document.
Place here the snapshot of your simulation results.
Exercise 2: 8-BIT R-2R Ladder DAC
Write a SPICE netlist for 8-Bit R2RDAC and name as R2RDAC8.CIR.
Run the simulation to generate the waveform.
Submit R2RDAC8.CIR together with this document.
