The fourth edition features coverage of cutting edge topics--more advanced CMOS device electronics to include short-channel effects, weak inversion and impact ionization. In this resourceful book find: * Coverage of state-of-the-art IC processes shows how modern integrated circuits are fabricated, including recent issues like heterojunction bipolar transistors, copper interconnect and low permittivity dielectric materials * Comprehensive and unified treatment of bipolar and CMOS circuits helps readers design real-world amplifiers in silicon.
This book is fucking awesome. The presentation is crystal clear and the derivations are elegant. The only flaw is the last chapter on fully differential amplifiers, written by two *new* authors - neither of whom teaches at Cal Berkeley. They teach at freaking DAVIS.
Bastards. The last bit is just too damned hand-wavey.
Anyway. I would recommend this to anyone with a transister fetish and a love of differential equations.
Again borrowed this for my final year project. A good reference book with lots of details on op-amps. One of the feature that really impressed me was every circuit/concept was followed by both its BJT and MOS implementation, instead of treating them in separate chapters. In this way, we can compare the performance of both in the same chapter.
