Several simulation IC design books

1. P. R. Gray's book
This book has been hailed by the industry as the le of the simulation IC. Under its name, there must be no virtual scholar. Now the fourth version has been released, and the author is an industry master without exception. This book is rigorous in its discussion, clear in thinking, thorough analysis of the circuit, strict definition, and clear in mind the name of Bible. As a beginner, this is a must-read book. Although there is a Chinese translation, it is recommended to read the original English version because the translation is not very good. The book has a profound analysis of the basic circuit, but I personally think that the most fascinating part of the book is the feedback and compensation chapters, the noise chapter is also the most detailed description of several books. It is recommended that you read this book for beginners who are better at English. Of course, for some reasons, the author attaches equal importance to the selection of BJT and CMOS themes. For many people who only work on CMOS, it may feel a little annoying.

2. Razavi's book
Every book is worth noting as a famous startup in the simulation IC industry. His book on analog CMOS integrated circuit design is a very good entry-level teaching material. If the Narrative Style of Gray's book is like Jin Yong's novel, it's like Gu Long's novel. The author pays attention to his intuitive insights into the circuit, therefore, some circuit processing is not so traditional, but reveals enough essence. The content of this book is relatively simple. In addition, the translation version of Xijiao has become the first choice for many beginners, but there are occasional mistakes in the book. Pay attention to them when reading.

3. Allen's book
As the first Daniel who proposed to use CMOS for analog circuits, his book is another classic. Many of the formulas in this book are born, which is difficult to understand at first glance, so it is not suitable for beginners. It is suitable for those who have a certain understanding of the circuit. The biggest feature of this book is to introduce and describe circuit design in a forward manner, the Design of Op-ops is the most exciting part of the book, which enables many people to switch their thinking from an analysis circuit to a design circuit, and to consider how to carry out tradeoff of indicators during design, the transformation of thinking is crucial to a designer. Under the influence of this book, the author begins to transform his thinking and jump out of the framework of the analytical circuit. The ninth chapter of the book tells the story about the switching capacitor circuit, it is a good start for people who design the ADC/DAC. There are many errors in the book, so be careful when reading.

4. Martin's book
It is another very good book, which is relatively engineering. The circuit in the book is suitable for engineering applications with a lot of slight modifications, one of my friends said that many of the circuits designed by their company are structured in the book. The first part of this book is devoted to preparing for the ADC/DAC, which will focus on data converter later. The book has a translation version, but the translation level is not flattering.

5. sansen's book
As one of the most famous European simulation ICS, his book should not be missed. From this book, we can see a completely different narrative style from the above. his discussion of the basic circuit is the most comprehensive and in-depth in all books, in addition, the content processing method is not the same as that in other books. For a circuit, he directly talked about the input impedance, output impedance and gain of small signals from low frequency to high frequency, unlike other books, the introduction is more suitable for a comprehensive understanding of the nature of the circuit and grasp the nature of the circuit. His introduction to the circuit is not complex, and sometimes people have a feeling: I spoke too carefully. This book has talked a lot about the system and is suitable for understanding the relationship between the circuit and the system. It is the most profound introduction to the feedback system of the Operational Amplifier and helps to grasp the essence of feedback. The last two chapters are about the switching capacitor Filter. the Laker wrote the following: people who understand it can understand it. People who don't understand it can't understand it.
The above are several basic simulation IC books, each of which has its own characteristics and focuses. I think it is hard to say which one must be better than others. For Beginners, it is necessary to read each of them, this will help you understand the circuit by analogy. You can read one book and read multiple books extensively, so that you can understand the circuit from different angles and improve your own level.

Analog integrated circuit design learning
Razavi or gray? (For beginners who want to simulate integrated circuits)
Razavi's classic book may have been used to simulate integrated circuits, and I have also bought a photoplate. The likes of this book have already been overwhelming. I don't have to talk about it in disorder. However, based on my experience in analog integrated circuits, this book has a novel (accepted) concept, which is often a great deal of criticism. Paul Gray's book is the essence of Berkeley, whose author is a pioneer in analog integrated circuits. It features meticulous thinking, detailed explanation, and few errors. (It is recommended to read the English version), but it is a little time-consuming to read it and requires more patience. But which book should I choose as a beginner ?? The biggest expense of reading is not the money spent on books, but the time. My personal opinion is to study Gray's teaching materials in a down-to-earth manner, rather than simply choosing rzavi's book. (Although I admit it is classic)

Analog Circuits are hard to learn. After reading a lot of books and learning them for a long time, I may still feel confused. When I started to learn analog circuits, I chose Razavi's book. During the summer vacation, I read the book again. I felt very excited when I read it, as if I had understood a lot, however, I was very confused when I started to do exercises. Razavi's book is always sending people an intuitive way to learn the circuit formula. So many ideas are born, often giving people the feeling of being overwhelmed. But what about later? So many people read Razavi books for a long time, but they still feel confused. In short, I was like this. In fact, it is normal to think about this matter seriously. Who is Razavi? What is the height of IEEE fellow? So some things seem to him to be commonsense, which is enough for us to think about for a day. It's not much to understand. He explained it in just a few words. We read it and it seems that we still don't know what happened.
The gray book provides the basic circuit theory, which is essential for beginners. I started to read this book when I was reading feedback and reading materials. Although it was a bit boring, I was so patient that I pushed down the formula of the feedback part in the order in the book. At last, I felt like I was getting started, reading this book several times, and finally getting familiar with the book. Later, I learned in depth that the seemingly mysterious idea in Razavi's book actually comes from an in-depth understanding of these classic basic theories. So when I read Razavi, I often feel that he worships the land, because it is very mysterious... In general, both books are rare classics. I personally think that Beginners should not be too eager to learn Paul first.
Gray's teaching materials will not be experienced when learning another book.
In addition, the learning process can not be too limited, there are a lot of materials for reference. These are all good things circulating on the forum. I hope everyone can seize the opportunity and study hard. The hope of the revitalization of icdesign technology in our country lies in the young generation.
Let's talk about the discussion and criticism.
It is not detailed enough. We suggest you look at the Simulation Circuit basics of Beihang Zhang fengyan.
At least three books of the model-electric design are classic, one is Allen recommended by the landlord, and the other is Razavi, of course, I still think that the Bible is the gray book, and now it is the fourth version. This book is the thickest as the pillows are high ~. I personally suggest that Razavi is the best book to get started. Of course, there must be at least a foundation for Microelectronics Devices and technology. Allen's book focuses on the design of the amplifier. Now it's the second edition, and there are few formulas to deduce. So at the beginning, some headers are coming, so it's important to stay calm ~. After reading these two books over and over again, you can get started. Of course, you need to keep thinking about the problem based on your own project.
Finally, we recommend a Web site: http://webcast.berkeley.edu/courses/schedule.html this is Berkeley University Online Teaching Video, can play online, it is recommended to first watch ee140, then watch ee240 (graduate course !) I have another FTP (I am on a business trip these two days, so the machine may not be able to watch much): ftp: // 202.115.7.30 user/key: metech/metech, right, you can also visit an FTP site in Tsinghua:
FTP: // 166.111.77.195 the user password is the same as my FTP! I just got on this forum and it feels good. I haven't been engaged in model power for two years. I hope to share my studies with my tutor ~
Design of analog CMOS intergrate circuits--Behzad Razavi
CMOS Analog Circuit Design--Phillip E. Allen
As for Gray, I don't know the book. If I haven't read my personal feeling about analog IC, I have to look at those aspects. If it is analog circuit design, the above books are good, however, if you want to use analog IC layout, you have to read other books. I recommend a few books that I think are also very good:
IC layout Basics
IC mask design
The art of analog Layout
========================================================== ======================================
I want to talk about three classic textbooks. If you haven't finished reading the course, you can't get started. Now I want to talk about the learning experience of the three textbooks. The Forum has many experiences with prawns. I want to talk about it!
I started from Allen. It can be said that Allen's book is the most basic book for the simulation of CMOS IC design. It is completely from the perspective of integrated circuits, and it is very tightly integrated with the process, it seems that they are completely separated from the discrete circuit. I think the most classic analysis of Allen's book is the analysis of big signals, so that you can understand the problems to be considered in the design of integrated circuits, rather than the specific analysis of the actual circuit, this book is better because the circuit in the book is directly from engineering practice, from the design point of view a lot of, very good. Especially 5, 6, and 7. However, if the foundation is not enough, it will be difficult at the beginning!
Then let's look at Gray again. This book is the most basic of the three books. It refers to the bridge from separation to integration. If Alan has difficulty in some places, especially the level zero, small Signal Analysis (just from the discrete analog circuit design to the integrated circuit design friends, like small signal to analyze circuit parameters), strongly recommended gray (theoretical master, the explanation is very clear and detailed ).
After reading the above two books, you may be eager to design a circuit. If you want to improve the circuit structure, the topology of the circuit becomes increasingly difficult and the Analysis of Small signals becomes more difficult, big signals cannot be clearly understood. What should I do if I encounter a bottleneck? Look at lazarvi !!! (Some netizens say that pulling uses an artistic perspective to design a circuit.) This book analyzes the circuit from the perspective of the overall situation.
After the three books, you are basically an entry-level engineer. You can start a project with Daniel. Then, you can read more IEEE documents (baseline source, op amp, and comparator) to continue training, (a man talked about it and read the post about the four realms of analog circuits ). And then from CMOS to BiCMOS !!
I recommend two more books (more professional), introducation to CMOS op-Amps And comparators; design of analogy Chip
