Help to get good ADC system design tutorial

Hi,

Can anybody suggest a good tutorial on ADC. I have seen in many books
but they just deal with interfacing to microcontrollers, not ADC in
details. I would like to know more about how to select an ADC based on
range of signal. How to scale a particular range to suit a particular
ADC resolution n stuff like that. So basically I need a tutorial on
designing an ADC system, not an interfacing tutorial.

Cheers
Rohit

analog devices has a wide range of documents concerning A/Ds, maybe
you will find something here

The simplest way to learn to use an ADC is to select an MCU with one
built-in.
