An optimization-based tool for the high-level synthesis of discrete-time and continuous-time /spl Sigma//spl Delta/ modulators in the Matlab/Simulink environment

This work presents a Matlab toolbox for the automated high-level sizing of /spl Sigma//spl Delta/ modulators (/spl Sigma//spl Delta/M) based on the combination of an accurate time-domain behavioural simulator and a statistical optimizer. The implementation on the well-known Matlab/Simulink platform brings numerous advantages in terms of data manipulation, flexibility and simulation with other electronic systems. Moreover, this is the first tool dealing with the synthesis of /spl Sigma//spl Delta/M using both discrete-time (DT) and continuous-time (CT) circuit techniques.
