Analog Integrated Circuit Design
D.A. Johns
As a practicing analog chip designer, I own several of the better known texts on analog integrated circuit design, but this one outshines them all. Written in a clear and readable style, this text carefully lays the foundation that every circuit designer needs to excel in this field.
I made a thorough study of the initial chapters of this book when I was just getting started in IC design, and I continue to return to it regularly to refresh or broaden my circuit design knowledge. The book strikes just the right balance between practical and theoretical instruction, and it does not bury the reader in pages of unneeded mathematical derivations as some texts do.
If I could put only one text on my shelf, this would be the one I would choose. I wholeheartedly recommend it to students as well as working professionals who are seeking to succeed in analog integrated circuit design.
