Domains: Discrete, Continuous. Size: 1-D. Allowed in: Block Diagrams.

Description

This model incorporates the basic functions of an analog to digital convertor: sample and hold, output window (i.e. restriction of the output between a minimum and maximum value) and quantization. The quantization is specified in bits. For example 8 bits quantization means the output has 2^8 - 1 = 255 possible values between the given minimum and maximum.

Limitations

The input of this model is a continuous signal. The output of this model is a discrete signal. 20-sim will automatically detect the existence of discrete models. Each chain of discrete models will be assigned a specific sampletime. You can set this sample time to any desired value in the Simulator (choose Properties, Simulation and Discrete System).
The initial output is bounded by the window given by the minimum and maximum and rounded by the number of bits used.
