Analog to Digital Conveter

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.

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. The book 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 discusses both architecture- and circuit-level design aspects of voltage-controlled-oscillator (VCO)-based analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), especially focusing on mitigation of VCO nonlinearity and the improvement of power efficiency. It shows readers how to develop power-efficient complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) ADCs for applications such as LTE, 802.11n, and VDSL2+. The material covered can also be applied to other specifications and technologies.

Have you ever wanted to convert your own hand-drawn patterns into digital patterns repeats to be used for fabric, clothing, wallpaper, or even gift wrap? In this course you'll learn how to transform your traditional art into print-ready patterns. This class is for pattern designers, graphic designers, illustrators, artists, crafters and anyone else who is interested in learning how to use existing art and turn into digital format using Adobe Photoshop. You'll learn my method for creating a digital repeat using Adobe Photoshop. We'll start working with analog materials then refine and multiply the basic pattern swatch in Photoshop, patching and blending wherever necessary to create the seamless repeat. By the end of this class, you will have a digital repeat pattern ready for printing on a product of your choice or onto yard goods like fabric or wallpaper.
