CMOS Analog Circuit Design

By Phillip E. Allen, Douglas R. Holberg, ( MEI )Phillip E. Allen.( MEI )Douglas R. Holberg ZHU

Book Overview

After years of anticipation, respected authors Phil Allen and Doug Holberg bring you the second edition of their popular textbook, CMOS Analog Circuit Design. From the forefront of CMOS technology, Phil and Doug have combined their expertise as engineers and academics to present a cutting-edge and effective overview of the principles and techniques for designing circuits. Their two main goals are:

- to mix the academic and practical viewpoints in a treatment that is neither superficial nor overly detailed and
- to teach analog integrated circuit design with a hierarchically organized approach.

Most of the techniques and principles presented in the second edition have been taught over the last ten years to industry members. Their needs and questions have greatly shaped the revision process, making this new edition a valuable resource for practicing engineers.

The trademark approach of Phil and Doug's textbook is its design recipes, which take readers step-by-step through the creation of real circuits, explaining complex design problems. The book provides detailed coverage of often-neglected areas and deliberately leaves out bipolar analog circuits, since CMOS is the dominant technology for analog integrated circuit design. Appropriate for advanced undergraduates and graduate students with background knowledge in basic electronics including biasing, modeling, circuit analysis, and frequency response, CMOS Analog Circuit Design, Second Edition, presents a complete picture of design (including modeling, simulation, and testing) and enables readers to design an analog circuit that can be implemented by CMOS technology.

Customer Reviews

Essential for Circuit Designers

Dr. Allen estalished methodological analysis and design principles of CMOS analog circuits, especially in op amps and filters. As the author's publicity tells, this book (and 1st edition) turned a magic of analog circuits and systems to straight forward design flow. As an analog and mixed signal designer, this book is always within my reach on the desk.

excellent book

It is an excellent reference book for the Cmos designers and wannabes, it is a very easy follow through and has very detailed examples, very good.

Must Have

A must have book for any serious analog / mixed signal IC designer. Very detailed and hands-on approach to design tradeoffs. The book was THE Reference for an Austin-based IC company which is already making its 18th year....

Great Book

Especially for undestanding OP-AMP's and Comparators, this book is the best with application and solved examples. Additional tothis , explanations about CMOS structures are very usefull...

It is a very useful book

My opinion is that this book is a very useful book on CMOS analog circuit design. If you want to be a good engineer, you should read it because it is easy to understand and has a wide coverage.
