4.0 out of 5 stars
If you use A/D chips and need a reference this is it, March 14, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Analog-Digital Conversion Handbook (Analog Devices Technical Handbooks) (Hardcover)
This book is not a textbook in the traditional college
text mode, but can take a practicing engineer through the
basics of A/D to a particular application. I have it on my
shelf and when I need to know a particular issue about A/D
performance and what engineering tradeoffs are involved in
a particular design, this is the starting point. It naturally
is heavy on Analog Devices chips and solutions, but it gives
the astute engineer insight into the utility of the various
metrics in a given chip's data sheet. It also can give clues
into what metrics can be misleading depending on how their
tests are setup (This is probably more critical). I have the
third edition and it doesn't cover delta-sigma A/D converters
adequately
