Hello Stewart,

To be honest, I have yet to see something better than AoE. Win is talking about a new edition for a while now.

Hey, Win, any hint when we can pack the thermos and camp out in front of the next bookstore?

Regards, Joerg

Hi,

Hans '555' Camenzind's book is free and downloadable at -

Not the latest perhaps but a good read.

Cheers - Joe

amazon is your friend:

Analysis and Design... Grey and Meyer (The standard) CMOS Analog Design.. Allen Design of Analog Integrated Circuits. Razavi Analog IC design... Johns and Martin

The Art of Electronics isn't an analog IC design book

Stephen

Stewart Lipk> I would appreciate a few suggestions for the best available IC

It's updated to this year. An entertaining thought-provoking book.

Thanks, - Win

Hey, his company is on Capp Street, just a mile or so from here.

Capp street is famous, but not for analog circuits[1].

[1] hookers, actually.

I think Stewart was looking more for AoE type books, "circuit" design in the sense of putting parts and blocks together.

It is interesting that there seem to be more good books about designing ICs than about using them.

Jim Williams's two books are fun to read, but more a collection of stories than a structured tutorial. A different guy wrote each chapter.

John

I would appreciate a few suggestions for the best available IC oriented analog design book.



Preferrably one that includes a broad selection of building block type circuits and covers at least a bit of CMOS, A/D, etc. (if possible)?



Something more up-to-date than "Art of Electronics".



Many thanks,



Stewart


What are you laughing at? Win is a published author and you're just an old crank.

Been there, Done that, I\'ve got my DD214 to prove it. Michael A. Terrell Central Florida

Maybe he's on the other end of the street? :-)

Reminds me that we older wiser guys are supposed to live a long and happy life, and not die in a hospital at the end, etc., but instead be shot by a jealous husband.

Thanks, - Win

Yes, a neat little book. Thanks for the link, Joe.

Bwahahahaha!

Is that in one of Willie's songs? I must have missed that somehow, and I have most of his CD's.

I guess I'm still a young buck, then - I want to die of exhaustion from cavorting with the Dallas Cowgirls. ;-)

So they can't see your toenail polish? ;-P

This old guy has had a pretty good run:

There was a better article on him in the National Post this morning but it's not accessible for free online.

The Leftist Socialist baking collective[1] around the corner (they bake peace-symbol breadsticks and have a sign "Make Loaves Not War") makes a damned fine yellow-bell-pepper and Yukon-gold-potato pizza.

But all their stuff is vegetarian, so they don't sell weenie pizzas.

[1] This neck of the woods, especially Berkeley, was once a hotbed of collective businesses, where every employee owns an equal share and theoretically has equal management clout. They tend to not survive, for a lot of reasons. This operation is "closed on Monday" but they just lock the doors, circle the chairs, and talk all day.

Pizza? Sounds like something the leftist-weenies eat ;-)

Hello John,

It seems to be the same with universities these days. Young engineers know a lot about the latest and greatest in VLSI tools and simulators. But throw them a bag of parts to make an oscillator and they'll just stare at it.

Their extent of hardware know-how is often reduced to buying PC parts at Fry's and sticking them together. Heck, most of them can't even make pizza from scratch anymore.
