This text presents the principles and techniques for designing analog circuits to be implemented in a CMOS technology. The level is appropriate for seniors and graduate students familiar with basic electronics, including biasing, modelling, circuit analysis and some familiarity with frequency response. It shows the methodology of analog integrated circuit design through a hierachiacally-orientated approach to the subject that provides thorough background and practical guidance for designing CMOS analog circuits. It identifies the common pitfalls that lie in the path of the beginning designer. The text mixes the academic and practical viewpoints.
"The greatest strength of the book is that it provides a clear learning path-from device, technology, and modeling, to building blocks, subcircuits, and applications."--Yun Chiu, University of Texas, Dallas
"Best CMOS analog IC book."--Dong S. Ha, Virginia Tech
"The coverage on SPICE simulations and layout issues is a welcome addition and makes the book unique from others."--Eun Sok Kim, University of Southern California
"This is a great analog integrated circuit design book that includes coverage of the basic concepts of analog integrated circuits and characteristics. This thoroughly updated revision features new materials on technology, detail design issues such as noise and distortion. It is certainly unique and different from other books." --Yong-Bin Kim, Northeastern University
