5.0 out of 5 stars Remarkable Analysis!
I was looking for a book that really goes deep into the circuit and analyze everything including its exact behaviour, stability..etc. Although many books claims to do that, most of them just sail in the shallow water! This book, however, was incredible in its insight into the analog circuit in a way that makes you a real master in analog circuits!

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless
I don't know how the other reviewers liked it but I would say there is nothing of value in this book.

The main complaint is that the authors are too theoretical without giving any practical insights into a problem or the applications. They show the long equations and don't simplify them too much. And they use their own notation eg. feedback factor etc. This...

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless, October 23, 2010
This review is from: Design of Analog Integrated Circuits and Systems (Hardcover)
I don't know how the other reviewers liked it but I would say there is nothing of value in this book.

The main complaint is that the authors are too theoretical without giving any practical insights into a problem or the applications. They show the long equations and don't simplify them too much. And they use their own notation eg. feedback factor etc. This forces you to switch out of the way other authors present data.

I would go with any of the other classic design books (grey/meyer, razavi etc)

background: I have 15+ years experience as a practicing analog IC design engineer.
