Measuring SNR SFDR using cadence virtuso:

Dr. Mohamed gave some useful references concerning the measurement of the performance
parameters of an A/D converters. I would like to add some specific comments on your question. The
first comment is that you measure the quantity as you define it. If we want to measure the signal to
noise ratio of the A/D converter then it is meant the signal to quantification noise ratio. It is defined
by  10 log signal power/ quantization power.  So we apply a sinusoidal waveform with the peak value
= VFS/2,
and then sample the sine wave at all possible level of the analog to digital converter.
Then calculate the the quantiztion noise nq(t) as a difference between the input sine wave the output
quantized values. Then we calculate the mean square value of the is noise signal, it is the intended
noise power nq^2 avearge= nqp,
Finally one gets the S/ N = 10 log ((VFS^2/8)/ nqp), with VFS^2/8)= the signal power.
For the spurious free dynamic range it is defined by the ratio full scal input voltage to the maximum
spurious at the output. In this test you need to input a sine wave signal  as before and you perform fft
analysis on the output of the A/D converter to analyse it in the frequency domain. Here you may
need to increase the sampling rate to increase the resolution of the frequency domain analysis. The
just locate the signal and the highest spur and the calculate the required parameter as 20 log
((VFS/2)/ Vspur).
