Abstract :
This work presents a Matlab toolbox for the automated high-level sizing of ΣΔ modulators (ΣΔM) 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 ΣΔM using both discrete-time (DT) and continuous-time (CT) circuit techniques.
