Data Converter Basics
This chapter is devoted to basic data converters, both analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog. The chapter is primarily for readers who are totally unfamiliar with data converters. It is possible to design data-converter circuits from scratch. However, data converters are available in integrated circuit (IC) form, and it is generally simpler to use such ICs.
The data sheets for IC converters often show the connections and provide all necessary design parameters to produce complete converter circuits by adding external components. This chapter describes the function and operation of IC converters to help you understand the data sheet information.
Before we get started, let us resolve certain differences in terms. ...
