NORWOOD, Mass. -- (Business Wire)
Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI) Technology Fellow Bob Adams, a leader
in the development of groundbreaking multi-bit sigma-delta data
converters, has been selected to receive the 2015 IEEE (Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Donald O. Pederson Award in
Solid-State Circuits by the IEEE Board of Directors. Adams’
distinguished career spans decades and includes many groundbreaking
inventions across a wide range of disciplines, including the fields of
audio conversion and DSP (digital signal processing).
The IEEE Donald O. Pederson Award in Solid-State Circuits traditionally
has been awarded to high-profile academics, but Adams is among a few
very select group from an industry background.
In a letter from IEEE President, J. Roberto de Marca he congratulated
Bob Adams, “For his [Adams] contributions to noise-shaping data
converter circuits, digital signal processing, and log-domain analog
filters.” and that “His exceptional achievements and outstanding
contributions have made a lasting impact on technology, society, and the
engineering profession.”
Adams, who was named an IEEE Fellow and an Analog Devices Fellow in
2011, also is a Fellow of the Audio Engineering Society (AES), and has
had more than 40 papers published by the IEEE and the AES. Adams has led
pioneering work in the electronics industry, including developing and
publishing the theory of stabilizing high-order noise-shaping loops and
developing the first integrated asynchronous sample-rate converter for
audio applications. These innovations helped to yield high-quality,
cost-effective audio systems for consumer, automotive, and other end
markets while delivering performance levels previously available only to
professional sound engineers. Adams was also the first to discover
log-domain filters and published the original paper describing their
operation. He has been granted 32 patents.
