Book Description: This comprehensive guide offers a detailed treatment of the analysis, design, simulation and testing of the full range of today\'s leading delta-sigma data converters. Written by professionals experienced in all practical aspects of delta-sigma modulator design, Delta-Sigma Data Converters provides comprehensive coverage of low and high-order single-bit, bandpass, continuous-time, multi-stage modulators as well as advanced topics, including idle-channel tones, stability, decimation and interpolation filter design, and simulation.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary: Comment to review from Cambridge

Rating: 5I just wanted to say, please ignore the previous review (from Cambridge). A good designer needs also a good theoretical base. One chapter might go a bit far but it\'s only one of many! It is indeed a true compendium!

Summary: excellent book

Rating: 5a good book for sigma delta modulator design. a lot of deep insight.

Summary: A comprehensive discussion of issues in sigma delta mod.

Rating: 5This is the only book I know of that gives such a thorough discussion on the state of the art in sigma delta modulation, including design tips and insight into the authors\' own experiences. A necessity for anyone considering the design of a high-order modulator. It is not an introductory text, and does assume basic knowledge in signal processing and A/D conversion in general.

Summary: An entirely mathematical description of the subject

Rating: 1This seems to have been written by experts in the field, FOR experts in the field. Takes a highly mathematical approach to the subject, the supporting text seems to only describe the mathematical derivations. This book would probably be fine for academic environments where the need for practical and \'real world\' implementation issues, is unnecessary. For design engineers wishing to explore this field it is unhelpful and frustrating to read, for as soon as the mathematical analysis is complete the text moves to another subject. Text descriptions (in plain English) of the concepts that underpin the principles would be helpful, this is a difficult subject at best, there seems no sense in confounding the situation further with books like this !
