THE INSTITUTE Understanding Delta-Sigma Data Converters, 2nd Edition has been selected as the recipient of the first Wiley-IEEE Press outstanding professional book award. The annual award was established this year to honor the best professional book published in the last three years by Wiley-IEEE Press in a field relevant to IEEE.

The Wiley-IEEE Press publishes books and reference works for the engineering and computer science communities.

The authors are IEEE Fellows Shanthi Pavan, Richard E. Schreier, and Gabor Temes. The book covers an important technique used to convert analog signals into digital form-according to a member of the awards committee.

This is an outstanding book and deserves to be honored as the inaugural recipient," says another member. The book is a comprehensive, yet readable resource that encompasses both theory and application details. The authors have an engaging and accessible style, but they don't shirk on technical depth. The book was clearly a labor of love for the authors, and it shows."
