2. State of the art of CAN and CNA
2.1 State of the art of CANs on the market
CAN techniques have developed in line with market requirements and needs.
Architectures and technologies were chosen according to the frequencies and resolutions required.
What's more, each manufacturer has its own constraints, such as producing with its own process, integrating the converter into a digital circuit or a mixed circuit (see figure 2 ).

Software tools
On the Analog Devices Inc. website, a number of analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog simulation tools and models are available. These range from simple 'on-line' theoretical simulations on their site, to complex models that can be interfaced with tools such as Mathlab, Simulink from The MathWorks and ADS from Agilent.
Time and spectral domains are accessible.

...Standards and norms
There are standards or projects on CANs and NACs, but to my knowledge, their use is never cited by manufacturers.
This is probably due to the dynamism of manufacturers and the specificity of each market segment addressed.
Project DYNAD still has a home page on the Internet, but no changes since 2002. (SMT4-CT98-2214 2002)
