[sdiy] books on analog MOS IC design ?

[Shiloh Sison]

I'm at ADI in the precision op-amp product line
(basically PMI). We're still doing a lot of bipolar
but also a lot of CMOS. The 'older' guys (Derek
Bowers/Peter Ohlon/Paul Henneuse) tend to do most of
the bipolar amps and us younger ones get the CMOS. 

Just thought I'd give you an update on your old pals.

Back to JH:

Another thought about the CMOS books, it's hard to get
a hold of full scematics as I'm sure you know. That
being said, Sansen's book has over ten op-amp
schematics - a rare find for a textbook.
