I don't claim to be a techy, but my company uses the AD7712 converter which is similar to the AD7723 referenced in the article (more precision but slower). Here is a conclusion I would draw: any converter requires surrounding circuitry to take out the undesirable effects of the conversion; ie, anit-aliasing filters to remove the effects of the sampling frequencies, post conversion digital filters to remove digital effects. This new thing may let designers build converter based circuits and products with fewer chips, combining the converter with the filters provided by this new thing. This might be considered a parallel with the modem on a chip which ADI brought out a year or so ago, reducing the standard modem from 7 chips to 1. I'm not sure this new thing will have that big an effect or that anyone will adopt it. Hope this helps. Someday let me tell you the story of my new modem, a continuing tale of hardware integration which mimics the Microsoft software strategy and mocks the justice department. But that's going off-topic.
