Why Analog?
Naturally-occurring signals, e.g., RF received signal, voice and video, are analog. System and medium non-idealities often make it necessary to treat digital signals as analog (Disk Drive Retrieved Data).

Why Data Converters?


Data conversion is difficult; Data converters have a huge market; The demand for higher performance in data converters keeps growing; Cost issues make it desirable to build data converters in mainstream VLSI technologies rather than dedicated analog processes. This creates more difficulties in the design.
