[sdiy] books on analog MOS IC design ?

[Shiloh Sison]

Hi There,

Here's my favorites:

Analog Integrated Circuit Design, David A. Johns and
Ken Martin. The easiest book to understand, has both
bipolar and cmos - highly recommended.

CMOS Analog Circuit Design, Allen & Holberg. Excellent
book, reads well, lots of examples. New edition (2nd)
just came out with lots of stuff added.

Design of Analog Integrated Circuits and Systems, W.
Sansen. Very well written, explains things differently
and better than Gray & Meyer. Covers both bipolar and
cmos with lots of example circuits.

Design of Analog CMOS Integrated Circuits, B. Razavi.
This is good for reference - some explanations are a
bit short.

CMOS Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation, Baker,
Li, Boyce. Good book, has a lot of very practical
information - it's almost a design handbook. Covers
both analog and digital circuits.

I use Gray & Mayer only for reference since I find
that the derivations/explanations are too long and
loose sight of what's important. Still nice to have
though since it covers almost everything. 

As far as standard literature, I'd say the the most
frequently used in courses are Gray & Meyer, Allen &
Holberg, Johns & Martin, Razavi, Sansen, Baker, et al.
in that order. Here at work the most used are Sansen,
Johns & Martin and more specialized (expensive) books
from Kluwer publishing

Hope this helps.
