Written by professionals experienced in all practical aspects of delta-sigma modulator design, DELTA-SIGMA DATA CONVERTERS provides comprehensive coverage of low and high-order single-bit, bandpass, continuous-time, multi-stage modulators as well as advanced topics, including idle-channel tones, stability, decimation and interpolation filter design, and simulation.

From the Back Cover
Delta-Sigma modulators are among the key components in digital audio and multimedia systems. This comprehensive guide offers a detailed treatment of the analysis, design, simulation, and testing of the full range of today's leading delta-sigma data converters. Written by professionals experienced in all practical aspects of delta-sigma modulator design, DELTA-SIGMA DATA CONVERTERS provides comprehensive coverage of low- and high-order single-bit and multibit, low-pass and bandpass, sampled-data and continuous-time, multistage modulators as well as advanced topics, including idle-channel tones, stability, decimation and interpolation filter design, and simulation. Features include:

• A detailed introductory tutorial
• Up-to-date research results
• Expert guidance on practical aspects
• Lots of hands-on advice!

With DELTA-SIGMA DATA CONVERTERS, you will be able to design cheaper, more reliable, and higher-performance data converters. This book will be of great value as a graduate or continuing-education textbook as well as supplemental reading for engineers who want to keep pace with this fast-developing technology.

1.0 out of 5 stars An entirely mathematical description of the subject, January 7, 1999

By A Customer

This seems to have been written by experts in the field, FOR experts in the field. Takes a highly mathematical approach to the subject, the supporting text seems to only describe the mathematical derivations. This book would probably be fine for academic environments where the need for practical and 'real world' implementation issues, is unnecessary. For design engineers wishing to explore this field it is unhelpful and frustrating to read, for as soon as the mathematical analysis is complete the text moves to another subject. Text descriptions (in plain English) of the concepts that underpin the principles would be helpful, this is a difficult subject at best, there seems no sense in confounding the situation further with books like this !

5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive discussion of issues in sigma delta mod., May 18, 1999

By A Customer

This is the only book I know of that gives such a thorough discussion on the state of the art in sigma delta modulation, including design tips and insight into the authors' own experiences. A necessity for anyone considering the design of a high-order modulator. It is not an introductory text, and does assume basic knowledge in signal processing and A/D conversion in general.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bible for Sigma Delta ADC design, May 23, 2009

By	Eashwar Thiagarajan "eashwar" (bothell, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This along with Green Book (Understanding Delta-Sigma Data Converters by Richard Schreier and Gabor C. Temes) & the Blue book (Oversampling Delta-Sigma Data Converters: Theory, Design, and Simulation by James C. Candy and Gabor C. Temes ) form a triad of delta sigma ADC books you will have to read, if you are serious about understanding,designing delta sigma ADC and getting it to work in silicon.
