This course will provide an introduction to the various type of Data Conversion System. The performance characterization of Data Converters will be presented, and various type of data converters (including Analog-to-Digital and Digital-to-Analog) will be discussed. This course can be served as the beginning course in the field of Data Conversion and Signal Processing in the area of Analog IC Design.

CILO-1: Recognize and analyze the definitions of performance parameters for data converters, in the datasheet and research papers. CILO-2: Design the various types of data converters. CILO-3: Implement the systems above using EDA tools widely adopted in IC industries.
