Modular Low-Power, High-Speed Cmos Analog-To-Digital Converter for Embedded Systems

One of the main trends of microelectronics is toward design for integrated systems, i.e., system-on-a-chip (SoC) or system-on-silicon (SoS). Due to this development, design techniques for mixed-signal circuits become more important than before. Among other devices, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters are the two bridges between the analog and the digital worlds. Besides, low-power design technique is one of the main issues for embedded systems, especially for hand-held applications.

Modular Low-Power, High-Speed CMOS Analog-to-Digital Converter for Embedded Systems aims at design techniques for low-power, high-speed analog-to-digital converter processed by the standard CMOS technology. Additionally this book covers physical integration issues of A/D converter integrated in SoC, i.e., substrate crosstalk and reference voltage network design.

From the reviews:

"Design methodologies that allow the improvement of both reusability and modularity of the analog part are particularly appealing. This book, which covers the design and optimization of A/D converters, is particularly suited in this scenario. ... The book is for a wide range of readers. It can be used not only by specialists but also by integrated circuits designers and general microelectronics engineers, as well as postgraduate students."
