Oversampling Analog-to-Digital converter design

Analog-to-Digital converters (or Sigma-Delta) converters have now become routine aspects of high-performance signal processing, ranging from precision audio to RF transceivers. In this tutorial, we will present, in a systematic fashion, the basics and design aspects of delta-sigma data converters, along with a case study of a high performance ADC designed for digital audio. The intended audience is analog/mixed signal designers with limited prior exposure to over sampling converters and graduate students. Anyone interested in designing, simulating and testing such converters should benefit greatly by attending this tutorial.
