Summary: Analog Integrated Circuit Design - Johns, Martin
Comment: In my opinon, this is one of the better books on analog circuit design available for practicing engineers. I disagree with the reviews that state that there is not enough emphasis on rigorous calculations. Analog design is an iterative art, not a theoretical science. In short, straight forward algorithms to develop complex analog circuits don't exist - at least not in a form that would allow timely completion of robust designs. Analog design is a highly intuitive process that works best when simple hand calculations, which indicate the magnitude and direction of first (and sometimes second) order transistor effects, are combined with complex computer simulations which prove out detailed functionality over the required operating conditions.
This book accomplishes its purposes superbly by providing many different circuit topologies and describing their advantages and disadvantages based on straightforward design principles. Those who have difficulty dealing with mathematical uncertainty are not likely to develop into good analog designers and should probably stick to designing digital circuitry, which can be approached in a much more systematic fashion. But those who's livelihood's depend on inventing timely solutions to analog IC design conundrums will find themselves referring to this book time and time again.
My one complaint with this book is the price, approximately 3 times what I would consider fair market value. Nevertheless books of this caliber are rare and the price did not ultimately dissuade me from grudgingly coughing up the purchase price.

Summary: More of a reference/cookbook than textbook for students
Comment: First used in graduate level analog ic design course. Good in covering current, practical MOS circuit topologies, however, lacks in clear explanations. Lacks good examples. Lacks interactive design aspect. Would need to supplement this book with a book such as Microelectronic Circuits or Analysis and Design of Analog Integrated Circuits for missing components or explanations if you really want to LEARN how to design analog ic's.
Rating: 5
Summary: Good Reference Book; But not for beginner
Comment: This is an excellent reference book for graduate students/exeperienced engineers. It gives readers a lot of practical tips on designing useful circuits. But sometimes those tips are so practical that a beginner might consider them as distractions. If you are a beginner, I won't recommend this book.
