Analog-Digital Conversion Handbook (Analog Devices Technical Handbooks)

Summary: If you use A/D chips and need a reference this is it
Review: This book is not a textbook in the traditional college text mode, but can take a practicing engineer through thebasics of A/D to a particular application. I have it on my shelf and when I need to know a particular issue about A/D performance and what engineering tradeoffs are involved in a particular design, this is the starting point. It naturally is heavy on Analog Devices chips and solutions, but it gives the astute engineer insight into the utility of the various metrics in a given chip's data sheet. It also can give clues into what metrics can be misleading depending on how their tests are setup (This is probably more critical). I have the third edition and it doesn't cover delta-sigma A/D converters adequately
