THE CLASSIC APPROACH TO CUTTING-EDGE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

In this Fourth Edition of ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF ANALOG INTEGRATED CIRCUITS, Paul Gray and Robert Meyer have teamed up with two new coauthors-Paul Hurst and Stephen Lewis-to provide a current, comprehensive and in-depth treatment of analog integrated circuit analysis and design. The authors combine bipolar, CMOS, and BICMOS analog integrated-circuit design into a unified presentation that stresses their commonalties and highlights their differences. Readers will gain valuable insights into the relative strengths and weaknesses of these important technologies.

The Fourth Edition features new and expanded coverage of several key technologies and techniques, including increased emphasis on CMOS circuits in Chapters 3-7; a new chapter covering fully differential amplifiers and common-mode feedback circuit analysis using return ration in addition to the two-part feedback analysis; and new coverage of two-stage MOS op-amp compensation, single-stage op amps, and nested Miller compensation.

FEATURES

• Coverage of cutting-edge topics. The new edition features more advanced CMOS device electronics, including short-channel effects, weak inversion and impact ionization.
• State-of-the-art IC processes. The text shows how modern integrated circuits are fabricated, including recent issues like heterojunction bipolar transistors, copper interconnect, and low permittivity dielectric materials.
• Unified treatment of bipolar and CMOS circuits. This format takes readers through each step in designing real-world amplifiers in silicon.
• Open-ended design problems. A number of open-ended design problems, included in the problem sets, exposes the reader to real-world situations where a range of circuit solutions may be found to satisfy a given performance specification.
• Extensive use of SPICE. SPICE is an integral part of many examples in the problem sets.

A new Edition of the Bible
I used this book in Grad school almost 20 years ago and still use it. This is the bible for analog design and is the one most widely used for its content and deservedly so. What the book really deserves credit for is teaching the manner of approaching circuit design by back of the envelope calculation. They teach you how to approximate via hand calculation, a very useful skill. They teach you how to become intuitive with circuits, this is the key. Before this book I had been asked to calculate the output impedance of a cascode mirror as an undergrad, it took about 5 pages and resulted in an expression of about 10 terms. Grey and Meyer shows you how to pop this out of a simple expression that contains only 3-4 terms and how to easily recognise the largest term. That is the beauty of this book, it teaches you how to become intuitive in transistor circuit analysis. The coverage is very good wrt the topics covered, most of the major issues are covered, but it is not encyclopedic. The problems are good and not terribly difficult, they are geared towards nailing down the material. The senior authors are both world renowned analog designers and both Fellows of the IEEE. The junior authors are also well known in this field. The writing is clear and to the point and the book has very few typos. There are other good analog IC books coming out now those by Lee, Allen, Razavi, and Johns have made it onto my shelf, but This is the Bible!

Sets the standard for analog design texts.
This text book should form the core for your analog design library. It has been the main text for two graduate level courses I have taken in analog I.C. design. Treats BJT circuits a little more thoroughly than CMOS; but goes in-depth for both. Excellent reference and textbook; but definitely not a self-study guide (and this is the main reason I did not give it 5 stars).

You got to study the book if you want to nail Analog tech.
First of all, this book is not a novel, so don't read it when you are tired or bored. You will definitely fall into sleep!
This is the book you need to read if you have decided you are going to STUDY Analog.
I bought this book because my friend recommended this book as a good analog reference. Later on , it turns out I have two classes use this book as a textbook.
This book is not easy to read. But analog itself is not an easy subject. With my professors' guidence, I was able to understand the book. I was amazed that the amount of material I have learned from this book. This book teachs you the material that a lot of other books skips. For example, offset voltage, most of other books will only describe in one or two paragraph. But this book explained in many sections. And offset voltage is a very important concept in Analog field.
A lot of other students complained the book covers too much stuff. It has fabrication, which can be one course. It has bipolar, CMOS, which can be course. It has feedback system, which can be another control system class. But these are essential concepts you need to know about analog IC. The title of the book is not
