From the Inside Flap

The recent years have brought about a rapid evolution and advancement in analog integrated circuit technology. Reflecting these developments in both content and organization, this book offers the practicing engineer the most up-to-date treatment of the fundamental design principles, capabilities, and applications of monolithic integrated circuits. Throughout the volume, lengthy and detailed mathematical derivations are avoided wherever possible. Instead, the emphasis is squarely on the end result, the basic design philosophy leading up to it, and the underlying assumptions and trade-offs. Numerous examples illustrate the most effective modern practices and workable short-cuts. The first section of the book (chapters 1–3) familiarizes the reader with the physical structures, advantages, and limitations of monolithic components. Reviewed are the basic "tools" of analog IC design and fabrication—process technology, IC components, and the chip layout. Chapters 4–6 cover the basic "building blocks" or sub-circuits of analog IC design. Included here is a discussion of the use of MOS technology in analog and combined analog/digital LSI design. The final and main section, chapters 7–15, covers the entire field of analog integrated circuits by dividing them into functional categories and then examining each of these circuit classes separately. Individual chapters discuss operational amplifiers, wideband amplifiers, multipliers and modulators, oscillators and timers, voltage regulators, phase-locked loops, IC filters, and data conversion circuits. Here, particular emphasis is placed on recent developments in the field of analog circuits, especially in the areas of switched-capacitor filters, switching regulators, voltage-controlled oscillators, and high-resolution data conversion circuits. Bipolar and Mos Analog Integrated Circuit Design is an equally valuable reference for the IC designer and user alike. For the analog IC designer, it provides rigorous guidelines and examples, while for the user, it offers a detailed analysis of the various classes of circuits, their design philosophy, as well as their capabilities and limitations. When preceded by courses on solid-state circuits and semiconductor devices, this book will also make an excellent text for graduate-level courses on analog integrated circuits.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bipolar and MOS Analog Integrated Circuit Design, April 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Bipolar and MOS Analog Integrated Circuit Design (Hardcover)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real treasure; the best !, April 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Bipolar and MOS Analog Integrated Circuit Design (Hardcover)

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.

This review is from: Bipolar and MOS Analog Integrated Circuit Design (Wiley Classics Library) (Paperback)

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.
