Robert Adams is Technical Fellow at Analog Devices, Inc.[1] His focus is on signal-processing and conversion for professional audio.[2] He is a leader in the development of sigma-delta converters, introducing new industry concepts including mismatch-shaping, multi-bit quantization, and continuous-time architectures.[3]
Adams graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Tufts University in 1976.[3] From 1977 to 1988 he worked for DBX, an audio company. There, he helped develop the industry's first audio converter with greater than 16-bit resolution, as well as one of the earliest digital-audio recorders.[2] In 1988, he joined the Converter Group of Analog Devices as a Senior Staff Designer, and went on to develop ADI's first sigma-delta converters in partnership with Paul Ferguson. He produced the world’s first monolithic asynchronous sample rate converters (the AD1890),[3] and he created ADI’s sigmaDSP line of audio-specific digital signal processing cores.[2][3]
As of 1998, Adams had received 15 patents related to audio signal processing.[4]
Awards and Honors
- Elected Fellow of the Audio Engineering Society (AES), 1991[5]
- Received AES Silver Medal Award, 1995[5]
- Inducted into Electronic Design magazine’s Engineering Hall of Fame in 2011[6]
- Became Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Fellow in 2012 “for contributions to analog and digital signal processing”[7]
- Received the 2015 IEEE Donald O. Pederson Award “for contributions to noise-shaping data converter circuits, digital signal processing, and log-domain analog filters”[8]
