Quantizer

Purpose

Apply uniform quantization to input signal

Library

Control / Discontinuous

Description

pict

The Quantizer maps the input signal to an integer multiple of the quantization interval:

           ( u)
y = q *round --
             q

Parameters

Quantization interval
The quantum q   used in the mapping function.
Step detection
When set to on, the Quantizer produces a zero-crossing signal that enables the solver to detect the precise instants, at which the output needs to change. This may be necessary when quantizing a continuous signal.

When set to off, the Quantizer will not influence the step size of the solver.

Probe Signals

Input
The input signal.
Output
The output signal.
