The motivation for this book accordingly was to address these needs through the definition of quantitative methods capable of characterizing the design and analysis of computer I/O systems. Subsequently, this led to the derivation and proofing of comprehensive mathematical models for describing device and system elements and their combination in terms of a unified inputto-
output error budget. This provides an efficient integration tool for defining the performance of computer interfacing systems, including their sensitivity to component and system choices. The use of these accountability measures imposes needed organization on the design of computer I/O systems to achieve precision signal acquisition and accurate data conversion.
This book presents a compendium of topics organized into ten chapters in a logical progression from input sensors to signal conditioning through digital conversion and output signal recovery elements, including extensions to advanced interfacing for sensor-based artificial intelligence applications and distributed I/O systems. A fundamental concern throughout is the accuracy of the data from the analog input circuits through the data conversion devices and output reconstruction components. The chapters are arranged according to the accompanying table into the three divisions of analog, conversion, and digital topics. The balance between theory and practice provides a usefulness for design applications that a more formal approach might lack. The book is intended as an extension to an electrical and computer engineering sequence, and to augment instrumentation, biomedical, manufacturing, or digital control courses at the senior and first-year graduate level.
