    Master the art of data converter design with this definitive textbook, a detailed and accessible introduction ideal for students and practicing engineers. Razavi's distinctive and intuitive pedagogical approach, building up from elementary components to complex systems. Step-by-step transistor-level designs and simulations offer a practical hands-on understanding of key design concepts. 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. Over 350 end-of-chapter homework problems to test student understanding, with solutions available for course instructors. Developed by leading 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 analysis and design.

    • 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

    Reviews & endorsements

    'It is always a great pleasure to read Professor Razavi's books. This one is no exception. It is a timely update of his prior book on data converters. It is a must-read for anyone who is interested in data converter design.' Nan Sun, Tsinghua University

    'Writing a book on data converters that covers all fundamental principles, provides practical design insights, and can remain relevant in this ever changing field is very difficult. Professor Razavi did it.' Dante Muratore, Delft University of Technology

    'This book stands out as a definitive resource on data converters. Professor Razavi strikes the perfect balance between intuitive explanations of complex concepts and the mathematical rigor necessary for a deep technical understanding. Whether you are a student seeking clarity or a professional looking for a reliable reference, this book is an indispensable guide.' Pavan Kumar Hanumolu, University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign
