Abstract :
The implementation of an algorithm-driven methodology for the synthesis and characterization of data converter systems, using extensively symbolic methods, is described. The synthesis process is, here, started at the algorithm-level allowing an unconstrained specification of a broad range of conversion systems, when compared to the traditional architecture oriented design tools. More, the exploration of new architectures and their characterization at the sub-block level, is performed fully automatically
