Bipolar & Mos Analog Integrated Circuit Design

Its the single most complete treatment of BJT integrated circuits, that you will ever get in modern text books of today. It reminded me of Shilling and Taub 30 years old classic on Switching Circuit Design. A total encyclopedia of all things analog, but a comprehensive look on switching circuits.

This Grenbene's book is the best reference for the real IC design engineer. I gave 4 stars because I don't ever give out 5 stars. Basically 4 stars is the highest to me. I'd like to rate this book higher than Gray's and Rasavi's. It is just excellent.

It's a ver good reference book for all time..Great!

I ran into another book by Alan B. Grebene when I was in the library. I immediately understood that I have found a real treasure. Next day I ordered the newest book by Grebene. Even though it is a 1984 book, it describes all the important building blocks of analog electronics with great insight and lots of knowledge.

The book has all the basic building blocks that you need to know for DSP design or a transceiver design. I found the sections on clock recovery (e.g. PLL) and filtering (e.g. switched-capacitor filters) particularly useful. Each section consists of the fundamental theories, explanations of the circuit building blocks, and design procedures/examples. In addition, many of the background theories in circuit designs such as OPAMPS, bias circuits, and basic gain stages etc. can be found in the book as very good basic references. Overall it's one of the must have book for analog circuit designers.
