Hi,

I am an EE graduate with basic background in analog design ( I designed a BGR for my graduation project). I want to dive deep into it and my question is: which book is better to start with:
"Cmos circuit design, layout and simulation" by Baker or Razavi's book?

The reason I am limiting the question to these two, is that those are the books I have solutions to (although I do have access to Gray&Meyer and Martin's).


Thanks for your advice,

Sharas
 

Razavi's book is more basic

Thanks for the advice,

I guess there is concensus about Razavi.
 

Book by P.R GRAY is classic.

Taking into account that Meyer is classic - what is the bottom line?
Is it better then Razavi?

Razavi only handles CMOS analog. Those of you who are working as analog designers - is it realistic? Isn't it dangerous to interview for an analog design position if I only mastered Razavi? What do you analog designers expect from a young applicant to know?

I will be thankfull for your answers.
 

allen holberg is also a good one..

95% of the market is cmos, so dont worry abt. that.
ur basics shud beclear, thats all what they want and whether u can apply ur knowledge to simple problems:)

Gray's book is my favorite. He teaches you the intuitive way to look at a circuit to find out which parts of the circuit have little effect and which parts have lots of effect. This is a good thing to know when doing stuff by hand.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind while studying.
 

"Cmos circuit design, layout and simulation" by baker is better for starter.

Razavi is certainly the best book to start with.

I think, Baker's book covers more things, digital, analog and mixed-signal, but there is not deep analysis. Razavi's book is on the other hand.
