Data Conversion Handbook (Analog Devices)

Data Conversion Handbook (Analog Devices)

This comprehensive handbook is a one-stop engineering reference. Covering data converter fundamentals, techniques, applications, and beginning with the basic theoretical elements necessary for a complete understanding of data converters, this reference covers all the latest advances in the field. <br><br>This text describes in depth the theory behind and the practical design of data conversion circuits as well as describing the different architectures used in A/D and D/A converters. Details are provided on the design of high-speed ADCs, high accuracy DACs and ADCs, and sample-and-hold amplifiers. Also, this reference covers voltage sources and current reference, noise-shaping coding, and sigma-delta converters, and much more. The book’s 900-plus pages are packed with design information and application circuits, including guidelines on selecting the most suitable converters for particular applications. <br><br>You’ll find the very latest information on:<br>· Data converter fundamentals, such as key specifications, noise, sampling, and testing<br>· Architectures and processes, including SAR, flash, pipelined, folding, and more<br>· Practical hardware design techniques for mixed-signal systems, such as driving ADCs, buffering DAC outputs, sampling clocks, layout, interfacing, support circuits, and tools.<br>· Data converter applications dealing with precision measurement, data acquisition, audio, display, DDS, software radio and many more. <br><br>The accompanying CD-ROM provides software tools for testing and analyzing data converters as well as a searchable pdf version of the text. <br><br>* Brings together a huge amount of information impossible to locate elsewhere.<br><br>* Many recent advances in converter technology simply aren't covered in any other book.<br><br>* A must-have design reference for any electronics design engineer or technician.
