CMOS Telecom Data Converters

CMOS Telecom Data Converters compiles the latest achievements regarding the design of high-speed and high-resolution data converters in deep submicron CMOS technologies. The four types of analog-to-digital converter architectures commonly found in this arena are covered, namely sigma-delta, pipeline, folding/interpolating and flash. For all these types, latest achievements regarding the solution of critical architectural and circuital issues are presented, and illustrated through IC prototypes with measured state-of-the-art performances. Some of these prototypes are conceived to be employed at the chipset of newest generation wireline modems (ADSL and ADSL+). Others are intended for wireless transceivers. Besides analog-to-digital converters, the book also covers other functions needed for communication systems, such as digital-to-analog converters, analog filters, programmable gain amplifiers, digital filters, and line drivers.

From the reviews:

"The topic of mixed-signal VLSI CMOS circuits design is one of the hottest topics nowadays. ... This book is thus a welcome entry to this fast-developing field. ... The quality of all the contributions is generally very high. ... The book is structured well, and chapter ordering is logical. ... The book is edited well. ... Its content represents the current state of the art ... . I highly recommend this book." (Mile Stojcev, Microelectronics Reliability, Vol. 44, 2004)
