Rainer Fink was born in Speyer, West Germany in 1966. He received the BS degree in biomedical engineering (1988), the MS degree in biomedical engineering (1992), and the Ph.D. in biomedical engineering (1995) from Texas A&M University. After finishing his Ph.D., he was a lecturer in the Bioengineering Program and the Department of Engineering Technology at Texas A&M University. In August 1996, he joined the Electronics Engineering Technology faculty at Texas A&M University. His research activities include mixed-signal testing, analog circuit design and biomedical electronics.
Mark Burns received his BSEE from MIT in 1984. He began his career in mixed-signal testing as an applications engineer at LTX corporation in Boston, MA. In 1988, Mark joined Texas Instruments as a test engineer in the mixed-signal products department. Mark developed test programs and test hardware for a variety of devices, including video palettes, central office codecs and SLICs, multimedia audio devices, general purpose ADC and DAC converters, and cellular telephone baseband modulators. Mark recently joined the baseband design organization to explore mixed-signal Design for Test (DfT) concepts. Mark is the principle author of the book , "An Introduction to Mixed-Signal IC Test and measurement"

Dr. Maloberti received the Laurea Degree in Physics (Summa cum Laude)
from the University of Parma in 1968 and the Doctorate Honoris Causa in
electronics from the Instituto Nacional de Astrofisica, Optica y
Electronica (Inaoe), Puebla, Mexico in 1996. He joined the University of
L'Aquila, then the University of Pavia. In 1993 he was a Visiting
Professor at ETH-PEL, Zurich working on electronic interfaces for sensor
systems. Dr. Maloberti also served the European Commission as ESPRIT
projects' evaluator and reviewer. He served the Academy of Finland (1996)
and the National Science Foundation of Portugal (1999) in the assessment
of electronic research. His professional expertise is in the design,
analysis and characterisation of integrated circuits and analogue
digital applications, mainly in the areas of switched capacitor circuits,
data converters, interfaces for telecommunication and sensor systems,
CAD for analogue and mixed A-D design.
Dr. Maloberti has written more than 240 published papers, two books and
holds 15 patents. He was in 1992 recipient of the XII Pedriali Prize for
his technical and scientific contributions to national industrial production.
He was co-recipient of the 1996 Institution of Electrical Engineers (U.K.)
Fleming Premium. He received the 1999 IEEE CAS Society Meritorious Service
Award and the 1999 CAS Society Golden Jubilee Medal. He was an Associate
Editor for the IEEE Trans. on Circuit and System (Part II). He is a former
IEEE CAS Vice President-Region 8. He is the President-Elect of the IEEE
Sensor Council. He is a member of the Italian Electrical Engineering
Association (AEI) and a Fellow of IEEE.

Gordon W. Roberts received the B.A.Sc. degree from the
University of Waterloo, Canada, in 1983 and the M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from
the University of Toronto, Canada, in 1986 and 1989, respectively, all in
Electrical Engineering. He is currently an Associate Professor in the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and the director of the
Microelectronics and Computer Systems Laboratory, both at McGill University,
Montreal, Canada. Over the years, he has conducted extensive research on
analog integrated circuit design and mixed-signal test, and has contributed
nine chapters to books. Dr. Roberts is a past Associate Editor of the IEEE
Transactions on Circuits and Systems - Part II and an Associate Editor for the
IEEE Design and Test of Computers Magazine. He is presently a distinguished
lecturer for the IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE Circuits and System
Society. He has received numerous department and faculty awards for teaching
electronics to undergraduates, and several IEEE award for mixed-signal
testing.

Summary: Delta-sigma data converters are among the key components of modern digital communication systems. While they are relatively insensitive to analog component accuracy, there are very important situations where their design goals cannot be achieved without additional calibration or correction procedures. These may occur for the cascade or MASH structures, where high resolution is achieved by canceling a large quantization noise using both analog and digital components, requiring extreme accuracy from the former ones, or in the design of high-frequency multibit-quantizer converters which need D/A converters with impractical linearity requirements.
In this lecture, some recent results will described for the algorithms and implementation of both digital and analog correction techniques in multibit delta-sigma converters.
Gabor C. Temes received the undergraduate degree from the Technical University and Eotvos University, Budapest, Hungary, from 1948 to 1956, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Ottawa, Canada, in 1961. He received the Honorary Doctorate from the Technical University of Budapest in 1991.
He held academic positions at the Technical University of Budapest, Stanford University, and at UCLA, and worked in industry at Northern Electric R&D Laboratories (now Bell-Northern Research) and Ampex Corporation. He is now a Professor in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Oregon State University (OSU), Cornvallis, OR. He served as the Department Head at both UCLA and OSU. He is co-editor and co-author of Modern Filter Theory and Design (New York, Wiley, 1973), co-author of Introduction to Circuit Synthesis and Design (New York, McGraw-Hill, 1977), co-author of Analog MOS Integrated Circuits for Signal Processing (New York, Wiley, 1986), and co-editor and co-author of both Oversampling Delta-Sigma Data Converters (Piscataway, NJ, IEEE Press, 1992) and Delta-Sigma Data Converters (Piscataway, NJ, IEEE Press, 1997). He is contributor to several other edited volumes, and has published approximately 300 papers in engineering journals and conference proceedings. His recent research has dealt with CMOS analog integrated circuits, as well as data converters and integrated sensor interfaces.
Dr. Temes was an Associate Editor of the Journal of the Franklin Institute, Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Circuit Theory, and Vice President of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society.
