Özet

This work presents a system level design automation tool, which was developed for designing SigmaDelta analog-to-digital converters and which utilizes a performance estimator based on EKV models. The design automation tool takes advantage of high level analytical ADC performance models and a performance estimator for designing the ADC. The incorporation of such an estimator is critical for early design decisions compared to similar systems utilizing oversimplified macromodels.
