Best analog program

Which university do you guys think is offering the best analog circuit design graduate program? :roll:
 

Re: Best analog program

I think berkley and stanford is the best
 

Re: Best analog program

Isn't MIT a good choice?
 

Re: Best analog program

Berkeley by far is the best school: mix of very in depth circuit courses and in depth theoretical and practical courses.

MIT is heavy on theory, bad on practice.

Stanford, the same.

I judge this based on authors: I find Berkeley authors books are the most well written, easy to read books out there. Those written by others (Razavi, Thomas Lee - both Stanford) are not good at explaining concepts -- they assume a lot of knowledge and don't really explain a thing.

Also depends what you want to do -- Berkeley is great for RFIC type classes (<10GHz)

For MMIC (>10GHz - although that is changing) try:

University of Michigan
Georgia Tech (also good for Analog IC)
Carnegie Mellon
 

Re: Best analog program

As gar as RAZAVI is concern, I m completely disagree with u..RAZAVI is simplest and well written book to understand analog design issues..
 

Re: Best analog program

I think Razavi's book is good, it is not for a very beginner though. For an experienced engineer, it's a good book.....I would say Gray and Meyer's book is better in providing insight to the beginners........if there is a fifth edition which is completely for MOS....I think it will be the best book....
 

Re: Best analog program

Baker Li is a good book for beginer.
just to understand designing, Although doesnt give a real design exposure and how design need to be trimed due to DSM issues.
 

Re: Best analog program

Would you mind telling me the name of the book?

Best analog program

i think Allen's book is a good one for beginer."CMOS Analog Circuit Design"
