    Master the art of data converter design with this definitive textbook, offering a detailed and accessible introduction ideal for students and practicing engineers. Razavi's distinctive and intuitive pedagogical approach builds up from elementary components to complex systems, and step-by-step transistor-level designs and simulations embed a practical hands-on understanding of key design concepts. Includes comprehensive coverage of essential topics including sampling circuits, comparator design, digital-to-analog converters, flash topologies, SAR and pipelined architectures, time-interleaved converters, and oversampling systems; over 250 examples pose thought-provoking questions, reinforcing core concepts and helping students develop confidence; and over 350 end-of-chapter homework problems test student understanding, with solutions available for course instructors. Developed by leading textbook author Behzad Razavi, and addressing all the principles and design concepts essential to today's engineers, this is the ideal text for senior undergraduate and graduate-level students and professional engineers who aspire to excel in data converter design and analysis.

    • Intuitively describes new concepts before introducing mathematic formulas
    • Bridges the gap between analysis and design using step-by-step building blocks and practical examples
    • Introduces novel design techniques based on over thirty years of research and development
    • Suitable for both classroom adoption and self-study
