Product Description
Top-Down Design of High-Performance Sigma-Delta Modulators discusses architectural and circuit considerations for optimizing the design of oversampled A/D interfaces for mixed-signal CMOS ASICs. The necessary mathematical background is presented in a detailed and comprehensive style, suitable for novices in the field. Practical recipes on how to get the maximum performance from these kinds of circuits are presented and illustrated through three converter prototypes in CMOS submicron technologies.
A distinctive feature of this book is the presentation of a systematic methodology for increasing the productivity of engineers in the design of high-performance modulators. It uses optimization at the architecture and the circuit levels, together with hierarchical transmission of the specifications among levels. The major tasks of architecture selection, architecture sizing and building block sizing are supported by dedicated CAD tools, thus allowing designers to obtain demanding modulator specifications in short design cycles.
Top-Down Design of High-Performance Sigma-Delta Modulators is organized such that it can be used for a graduate course on SigmaDelta modulator design. In addition, the book is a valuable reference for designers who want to improve their productivity in the design of oversampled mixed-signal interfaces.

Customer Reviews & Comments
The promotional text written on the jacket does not accurately describe this book. My rating is based on this inaccuracy, rather than the content. The papers in the book are good, but not for the audience that the promo text will attract. I still haven't found a good tutorial on Sigma-Delta design. If you are looking for a compendium of papers on the Sigma-Delta ADC's, I'd suggest Norsworthy, "Delta-Sigma Data Converters: Theory, Design, and Simulation", IEEE Press. It's cheaper and covers more material. =========== (1) The promo text mentions CAD tools which are supposed to improve the reader's productivity. These tools are not readily available. There is no mention in the book on how to get them, and a web search on the tool names turned up about 5 hits (all PDF papers about the tools) rather than sites where the tools can be downloaded. (2) There are no MATLAB/Verilog/C/Spice simulations that you can try on your own. It is definitely NOT a tutorial, as suggested by the promo text. The level of detail is about what you would find in a JSSC article. (3) The book covers JUST the modulator - not the entire Sigma-Delta ADC. There is no discussion of decimation or filtering. I mention this because the cover text seems to pitch it to engineers new to the area, and I expect most engineers new to this area would be designing Sigma-Delta ADC's (not just the modulator).
