This is the only comprehensive book in the market for engineers that covers the design of CMOS and bipolar analog integrated circuits. The fifth edition retains its completeness and updates the coverage of bipolar and CMOS circuits. A thorough analysis of a new low-voltage bipolar operational amplifier has been added to Chapters 6, 7, 9, and 11. Chapter 12 has been updated to include a fully differential folded cascode operational amplifier example. With its streamlined and up-to-date coverage, more engineers will turn to this resource to explore key concepts in the field.
This book is fucking awesome. The presentation is crystal clear and the derivations are elegant. The only flaw is the last chapter on fully differential amplifiers, written by two *new* authors - neither of whom teaches at Cal Berkeley. They teach at freaking DAVIS.
Bastards. The last bit is just too damned hand-wavey.
Anyway. I would recommend this to anyone with a transister fetish and a love of differential equations.
Again borrowed this for my final year project. A good reference book with lots of details on op-amps. One of the feature that really impressed me was every circuit/concept was followed by both its BJT and MOS implementation, instead of treating them in separate chapters. In this way, we can compare the performance of both in the same chapter.
