The Analog to Digital Converters represent one half of the link  between the world we live in - analog - and the digital  world of computers, which can handle the computations required in  digital signal processing. These devices are mathematically very  complex due to their nonlinear behavior and thus fairly difficult to  analyze without the use of simulation tools. High Speed A/D  Converters: Understanding Data Converters Through SPICE presents  the subject from the practising engineer's point of view rather than  from the academic's point of view. A practical approach is emphasized.    High Speed A/D Converters: Understanding Data Converters Through  SPICE is intended as a learning tool by providing building blocks  that can be stacked on top of each other to build higher order  systems. The book provides a guide to understanding the various  topologies used in A/D converters by suggesting simple methods for the  blocks used in an A/D converter. The converters discussed throughout  the book constitute a class of devices called undersampled or Nyquist  converters.   The tools used in deriving the results presented are:    TopSpice® by Penzar - a mixed mode SPICE simulator  - version 5.90. The files included in Appendix A were written  for this tool. However, most circuit files need only minor adjustments  to be used on other SPICE simulators such as PSpice, Hspice, IS_Spice  and Micro-Cap IV;    Mathcad 2000 - Professional by  Mathsoft. This tool is very useful in performing FFT analysis as well  as drawing some of the graphs. Again, the mathcad files are included  to help the user analyze the data.      High Speed A/D  Converters: Understanding Data Converters Through SPICE not  only supplies the models for the A/D converters for SPICE program but  also describes the physical reasons for the converter's performance.
