CMOS Telecom Data Converters compiles the latest achievements regarding the design of high-speed and high-resolution data converters in deep submicron CMOS technologies. The four types of analog-to-digital converter architectures commonly found in this arena are covered namely sigma-delta pipeline folding/interpolating and flash. For all these types latest achievements regarding the solution of critical architectural and circuital issues are presented and illustrated through IC prototypes with measured state-of-the-art performances. Some of these prototypes are conceived to be employed at the chipset of newest generation wireline modems (ADSL and ADSL+). Others are intended for wireless transceivers. Besides analog-to-digital converters the book also covers other functions needed for communication systems such as digital-to-analog converters analog filters programmable gain amplifiers digital filters and line drivers.
