Product Description
Product Description
This textbook deals with the analysis and design of analog CMOS integrated circuits, emphasizing recent technological developments and design paradigms that students and practicing engineers need to master to succeed in today's industry. Based on the author's teaching and research experience in the past ten years, the text follows three general principles: (1) Motivate the reader by describing the significance and application of each idea with real-world problems; (2) Force the reader to look at concepts from an intuitive point of view, preparing him/her for more complex problems; (3) Complement the intuition by rigorous analysis, confirming the results obtained by the intuitive, yet rough approach.
From the Publisher
This book employs many examples in each chapter to further illustrate the concepts. Each chapter ends with with numerous problems- ranging from moderate to difficult- to provide extensive exercises for classroom usage.
This book presents not only analysis but "synthesis," that is, it describes the thought process behind the evolution of each circuit topology, teaching the reader how and why each modification is done to the basic idea.
The problem sets at the end of each chapter are designed to methodically enhance and polish the readers' analytical skills.
While the focus is on CMOS circuits, the analysis and design techniques described in the book also apply to other IC technologies as well.
Since the preview edition, two new chapters have been added, oscillators and phase-locked loops.
An expanded book Web site includes a downloadable version of the solutions manual. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Format:Paperback
Excellent book covering all aspects of Analog Integrated Circuit Design....it is a must for students and designers alike. Particularly pleased to see inclusion of Chapter 17 and 18 on CMOS Processing, Layout and Packaging. I found it one of the most complete circuit books I have come across to date.
Format:Hardcover
This is very good book for people who are dealing with CMOS chip design. This book is handeling about all the important subjects and problems in CMOS analog chip design: MOS devices and their characteristics; differential amplifiers and current mirrors; frequency response and noise; feedback, op amp design, and stabilty; bandgaps; switched capacitor networks; nonlinearity and mismatch; VCOs and PLLs; layout and packaging. So the book can be considered as very complete. All these subjects are well explained with the necessary equations and formulas. Besides you won't fall asleep while reading this book!

Good book on CMOS analog circuits!
22 Oct 1999
Format:Hardcover
I have all of the books written by Dr. Razavi, and this is the most recent one. CMOS has been the mainstream on analog design today, and more and more books cover this area. From Roubik Gregorian / Gabor Temes's "Analog MOS Integrated Circuits for Signal Processing" to Phillip Allen / Douglas Holberg's "CMOS Analog Circuit Design", from David Johns / Kenneth Martin's "Analog Integrated Circuit Design" to Roubik Gregorian's "Introduction to CMOS OP-AMPs and Comparators", we can see the rapid development of CMOS analog design techniques. And this book is the most updated one among these books. It covers basic CMOS design techniques as well as some important topics, such as common-mode feedback and current feedback amplifiers. Everything is expressed clearly and easy to understand. However, it does not address some of today's popular topics, such as low-voltage design techniques, constant-Gm and rail-to-rail amplifiers. Hope we can see these in the final edition. The readers can find these topics from Johns/Martin and Gregorian's books. Anyway, I still rate it as a 5-star book.

Excellent book with a broad coverage of material!
15 Jun 2001
Format:Hardcover
This is an excellent book that provides a fresh look at CMOS Analog Circuit Design. Behzad Razavi has a clear writing style that takes the reader from an intuitive level of understanding circuit performance to a mathematical explantion based on this understanding. This text also covers most areas of modern Analog CMOS design including all variations of modern op amps, switched capacitor circuits, feedback, noise analysis, frequency response, stability and compensation, as well as oscillators and PLLs. The material is covered in context of modern sub-micron processes and includes coverage of short-channel effects in these technologies. I have found answers in this book to many of the questions I have come across recently. In particular, Dr. Razavi uses the examples in the book to characterize various circuit performance metrics for typical circuit configurations using a symbolic approach. This results in an expression that highlights which circuit/device parameters contribute to the particular performance metric under study.

The best CMOS book out there.
18 July 2001
Format:Hardcover
If you really want to understand the fundamentals of CMOS design, and would like someone to break down the complexity and mystery of concepts like output resistance, transconductance, feedback, operational amplifiers, frequency response, closed and open loop gain, etc., into simple qualitative understandings before progressing to the more complex mathematics, and to do all of this in an order that makes sense and that places the right emphasis on the right material at the right time to maximize learning and minimize confusion, then this is your book. CMOS is complex enough, without an author excacerbating the problem by being disorganized in the presentation of topics, taking excessive liberties in assuming preexisting knowledge by the reader, and placing unecessary emphasis on topics that don't mandate it. Other CMOS books I have read are needlessly complex and serve only to confuse the reader and raise more questions. This book, in contrast, is an outstanding resource that provides skills, insights, and examples, logically arranged in the right order. Nice job, Behzad.
