Integrated converters: D to A and A to D architectures, analysis and simulation

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Analog to digital and digital to analog converters are essential interfaces between computers and the outside world. They link sensors to signal processing devices and are embedded in an ever larger number of integrated circuits used for example in the telecommunications industry, remote control devices, and medical electronic instruments." "This book surveys recent progress and gives an account of the working principles of integrated converters. It describes the architectures and discusses accuracy and speed in depth; covers the entire field of silicon integrated converters; hands-on experiments (simulations) are possible with programs on the free accompanying website; precision is dealt within depth throughout the whole book and is verifiable by use of the simulations; the evolution of conversion techniques over time is covered.
