Title: Teaching Texbook for ADC/DAC design
Post by loose-electron on Aug 9^th, 2009, 5:31pm

OK - so I got to teach ADC/DAC IC design at UCSD in the winter quarter - time to start preparing the course -

Whats the latest and greatest teaching textbooks out there for converter design?

I have the Razavi book on converters, and the Temes book on Delta-Sigma, - but what else have you folks seen and like?

thanks,
Jerry

Jerry,

I read CMOS Integrated Analog-to-Digital and Digital-to-Analog Converters by Rudy J. van de Plassche. http://www.designers-guide.org/Books/#vanDePlassche-2003

This book has more practical examples. I like it. :)

Best Regards,
Yawei

I would not recommend the book of van de Plassche for a lecture. Many topics are just a collection of papers and the writing is bad (typos) and difficult to follow.
I think it is better the read the original papers if you need practical examples.

You may please refer book "Data Converters" by Franco Maloberti. Btw, what is the level of students ?

Hi Jerry,

I have not found much good material for teaching students in most books. The best I have seen so far are the sections on data conversion in the text by Johns & Martin. Razavi's text is also OK and so is the green book but Johns & Martin does the best job in my opinion although it is a bit short on detail. All this of course for beginners. If you want to teach a more advanced class, you need to make your own notes or borrow from Boris Murmann.

Do let us know if you find some more good material, will you?

Regards,

Vivek

Its for graduate students, but then the typical experienced designer is light years beyond somebody working on their MS or PhD.

Heres the notes and stuff (a good set of PPT content if you want it) from last years version is here:

I will do some research and have the publishers send me free copies (one of the perks of teaching is the publisher **love** sending you a teachers copy with the hopes that you will use it as the designated book in the course)

I will post my comments after I get the books.

Just went through your material. Loved the control systems analysis of
everything. Generally everybody avoids it during teaching.
I think Franco Maloberti's book suits you very well. A nice literature from
an excellent researcher :)

Sumit

Go back a decade and I was chasing every scrap of ADC literature I could find.
I tripped across:
"CMOS A/D Converters for Teleecommunications", Thesis by Mikael Gustavsson. Linkoping Sweden, 1998.
I thought it was good survey on various architectures and complemented Razavi's text --- better in some ways.

Wave :D

there are lots of bits and pieces out there - mostly jouirnal articles, and little pieces of textbooks.

In all my free time, (LOL!) maybe I need to write a book.

Thats stanfords equivalent for the course. The class notes are pretty good as well, and worth a look.
