Publisher's Synopsis
This text presents the principles and techniques for designing analog circuits to be implemented in a CMOS technology. The level is appropriate for seniors and graduate students familiar with basic electronics, including biasing, modelling, circuit analysis and some familiarity with frequency response. It shows the methodology of analog integrated circuit design through a hierachiacally-orientated approach to the subject that provides thorough background and practical guidance for designing CMOS analog circuits. It identifies the common pitfalls that lie in the path of the beginning designer. The text mixes the academic and practical viewpoints.
