Design of analog integrated circuits and systems

About this book

Recognizing the increasing need for circuit designers to distinguish between MOS and bipolar devices, Design of Analog Integrated Circuits and Systems provides comprehensive treatment of the two subjects under one cover, including combined CMOS-bipolar circuit realizations made possible by BICMOS technology. The text progresses smoothly from MOS and bipolar device modeling to simple one- and two-transistor building block circuits, such as amplifiers, active loads, and sources. It follows with a thorough treatment of design operational and operational transconductance amplifiers, and concludes with a unified presentation of sample-data and continuous-time signal processing systems. Other features include early and complete coverage of feedback and sensitivity concepts; integration of important topics such as noise, nonlinear distortion, and power supply rejection throughout the text; emphasis on design intuition developed through hand calculations; extensive use of SPICE and computer analysis to illustrate examples and verify detailed circuit behavior; and problem sets featuring open-ended questions, introducing students to practical situations.
