Top-Down Mixed-Signal Design with MATLAB and Simulink

From the series: Designing Mixed-Signal Systems using MATLAB and Simulink

Mike Woodward, MathWorks

Top-down design offers a much faster approach to mixed-signal design than traditional methods. This webinar shows how top-down can be realized in a design flow and how it can be integrated with existing design flows and tools. It demonstrates how top-down design accelerates the design process.

The webinar uses a number of examples and case studies to illustrate top-down design. The examples will include:

Rapid system analysis (PLL example)
Rapid system evaluation using different ADC architectures
Cosimulation (SPICE and HDL)

ADC Design with MATLAB and Simulink In this webinar we demonstrate how engineers are using MathWorks tools to design and verify ADCs and DACs. To efficiently design these devices, engineers need an environment that handles feedback naturally, that combines analog and digital design, an
