adc :
An ideal analog-to-digital converter.

The adc primitive continuously digitizes an xreal-typed, continuous-time analog signal into an xbit-typed, digital signal. Therefore, the primitive is basically a multi-level slicer.

The bit resolution of the adc primitive is specified by the parameter num_bit. The value range of the input signal is set either by defining value_min and value_max or by defining value_min and value_lsb. For the former case, one LSB step (i.e., value_lsb) is defined as (value_max-value_min)/(2^num_bit-1).

The input-to-output transfer characteristic of this adc primitive is defined as the following:

out = 0     for in < value_min + 0.5*value_lsb
out = 1     for value_min + 0.5*value_lsb <= in < value_min + 1.5*value_lsb
out = 2     for value_min + 1.5*value_lsb <= in < value_min + 2.5*value_lsb
    ...
out = k     for value_min + (k-0.5)*value_lsb <= in < value_min + (k+0.5)*value_lsb
    ...
out = 2^num_bit-1 for value_max - 0.5*value_lsb <= in
