CDAC Switching Energy

modeling the switching energy of a CDAC as used in a SAR ADC. Multiple architectures are considered. Result can be used to analyze power side channel leakage.

Getting Started

• cdac.py contains the CDAC class which is used to simulate all of the switching energy.
• plot.py contains example plots to visualize the data
  • plot.py can be run which will execute the code under if name == 'main':
  • by default, it generates all of the plots setup for LaTeX.
  • The two plots "plot_total_energy" and "plot_all_heatmaps" also save the result as a .eps file
  • generate_variance_table generates the LaTeX table containing the variances of the four architectures
