'Data converters are used more and more by electronic systems. The requests of designers and users to better [understand] architectures and to know practical aspects is appropriately satisfied by [this book]. It is surely a precious working aid for professionals but also is a valid help for graduate students [who] can find in the book the necessary background notions and valuable information on architectures, practical limits and design tricks. The comprehensive list of references is a unique source of additional information. It complements and makes … the book [more valuable].' Franco Maloberti, University of Pavia, Italy
