Description
Use the CT Integrator block to accurately model the behavior of continuous-time delta-sigma modulators (CT DSMs). The block provides anti-aliasing benefits and supports higher bandwidth and lower power designs compared to its discrete-time counterpart. The block allows you to choose from three different implementation models: Gm-MC (OTA coupled with Miller capacitance), Gm-C (OTA-C integrator), and active-RC integrator.
To support realistic system‑level simulation, the block includes a range of practical circuit‑level non-idealities such as finite gain or bandwidth, pole-zero behavior, saturation, slew-rate limiting, distortion, and optional thermal and amplifier noises.
