Achieving the best dynamic range in terms of spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) with high-speed MSPS converters are explored.

Anti-aliasing filter (AAF) techniques are covered at both lower and higher converter sampling rates and what this means to the filter design requirements.

Tradeoffs are given when using an external AAF in front of the ADC in combination with digital features included in most MSPS converters on the market today.
