This paper presents an approach to analyse the stability of continuous time Σ∆ data converters and shows a new method to define optimized parameter sets without a large number of simulations. Thereby the converter is described as a switched system. The presented analysis is based on a state space description which is utilized to express the properties of a stable behaviour. It is shown how the analysis method can be used to optimize the filter coefficients of the modulator by scaling the integrators outputs
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
