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… Read More
