ANALOG TO DIGITAL/DIGITAL TO ANALOG CONVERSION TECHNIQUES

New York: John Wiley & Sons, 1968. Fifth Printing . Green Boards. Very Good/No Jacket. 9 5/16. The purpose of this book is to help engineers, scientists, and technicians to design and use analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion equipment. An additional purpose is to make A/D and D/A conversion circuit techniques more widely known so that they may advantageously used to perform many functions in control and data systems ... Electronic conversion often requires the use of analog, digital, and hybrid analog/digital circuit disciplines. These circuit techniques are important not only from the standpoint of their use in A/D and D/A conversion systems. Frequently a difficult electronic function that seems impossible to implement with only analog circuit or digital logic techniques can be readily implemented with these hybrid analog/digital techniques. Their understanding and potential use represents a powerful tool for the electronic equipment designer." The chapter headings are: Conversion Systems; Error Allocation/Analysis; Conversion Logic; Switching Analog Voltages; Digital-to-Analog Decoder Operation; Digital-to-Analog Decoder Design; Reference Voltages; Analog Voltage Comparators; Analog Multiplexing (Commutation, Subcommutation); Shaft-Position-to-Digital Encoding; Analog-to-Digital Converter Types; and Analog-to-Digital Converter Design. Twelve chapters, 455 pages, with tables, figures (including a pull-out schematic), half-tones, 4 Appendices, Abbreviations, Symbols, Greek Symbols, Glossary of Terms, and Index; plus Preface and Contents. Boards are slightly rubbed at backstrap, otherwise clean and sound; name of prior owner pencilled on rfEP and embossed on title page; text is clean and strong.
