Abstract
Digital signal processors convert digital input signals into digital output signals. But since most real-life signals have an analog nature, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters are necessary to interface between a DSP and the outside world. In practice, these converters are the bottle necks of the over-all system: the analog-to-digital conversion rate limits the signal bandwidth while the word length determines the signal- to-noise ratio. Both the analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters introduce analog component noise that degrades the signal quality. In high-performance data acquisition systems, the data converters are therefore the critical building blocks.
