CMOS Data Converters for Communications distinguishes  itself from other data converter books by emphasizing system-related  aspects of the design and frequency-domain measures. It explains in  detail how to derive data converter requirements for a given  communication system (baseband, passband, and multi-carrier systems).  The authors also review CMOS data converter architectures and discuss  their suitability for communications. The rest of the book is  dedicated to high-performance CMOS data converter architecture and  circuit design. Pipelined ADCs, parallel ADCs with an improved passive  sampling technique, and oversampling ADCs are the focus for ADC  architectures, while current-steering DAC modeling and implementation  are the focus for DAC architectures. The principles of the  switched-current and the switched-capacitor techniques are reviewed  and their applications to to crucial functional blocks such as  multiplying DACs and integrators are detailed. The book outlines the  design of the basic building blocks such as operational amplifiers,  comparators, and reference generators with emphasis on the practical  aspects. To operate analog circuits at a reduced supply voltage,  special circuit techniques are needed. Low-voltage techniques are also  discussed in this book.   CMOS Data Converters for Communications can be used as a  reference book by analog circuit designers to understand the data  converter requirements for communication applications. It can also be  used by telecommunication system designers to understand the  difficulties of certain performance requirements on data converters.  It is also an excellent resource to prepare analog students for the  new challenges ahead.
