Analog-to-Digital Conversion

This textbook is appropriate for use in graduate-level curricula in analog-to-digital conversion, as well as for practicing engineers in need of a state-of-the-art reference on data converters. It discusses various analog-to-digital conversion principles, including sampling, quantization, reference generation, Nyquist architectures and sigma-delta modulation. This book presents an overview of the state-of-the-art in this field and focuses on issues of optimizing accuracy and speed, while reducing the power level.

This new, fourth edition emphasizes novel calibration concepts, the specific requirements of systems, the consequences of advanced technology and the need for a more statistical approach to accuracy. Pedagogical enhancements to this edition include additional, new exercises, solved examples to introduce all key, new concepts and warnings, remarks and hints, from a practitioner's perspective, wherever appropriate. Considerable background information and practical tips, from designing a PCB, to lay-out aspects, to trade-offs on system level, complement the discussion of basic principles, making this book a valuable reference for the experienced engineer.

Covers relevant developments in analog-to-digital conversion, suited for both graduate-level courses and professionals Updates the third edition of this book to address recent technology and design developments Includes new exercises, as well as solved, step-by-step examples to help understand each new concept

Autorentext
Marcel Pelgrom received his B.EE, M.Sc, and PhD from the University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands. In 1979, he joined the Philips Research Laboratories, where his research has covered topics such as charge coupled devices, MOS matching properties, analog-to-digital conversion, digital image correlation, and various analog building block techniques. He has headed several project teams and was a team leader for highspeed analog-to-digital conversion. From 1996 until 2003, he was a department head for mixed-signal electronics. In addition to various activities concerning industry-academic relations, he was a Philips Research Fellow, which research topics on the edge of design and technology. In 2003, he spent a sabbatical in Stanford University where he served as a consulting professor and in 2014 as a lecturer. From 2006 until 2013, he has been a member of the technical staff at NXP Semiconductors. Dr. Pelgrom was twice an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer and has written over40 publications and seven book chapters, and he holds 37 US patents. He currently lectures at Delft University of Technology, the University of Twente and for MEAD Inc, next to consulting in various companies. He is the 2017 recipient of the IEEE field award Gustav R. Kirchhoff.
