System Applications Guide, 1993

System Applications Guide, Edited by Walt Kester, Analog Devices, 1993, ISBN-0-916550-13-3.

This book contains a comprehensive discussion of each major parts of a system from the input amplifier to the digital outputs. Each element in the signal chain is examined in detail including signal conditioning, amplification, multiplexing, data conversion, and support circuitry such as sample-and-holds and voltage references. A number of popular applications are also discussed.
