This book is a comprehensive treatment of the analysis, design, applications, and fabrication of analog integrated circuits. The text is intended to be of a practical nature, and the emphasis in the integrated circuits is mainly on the devices that are currently being used and are commercially available. Strong in its pedagogy, the book floats umpteen number of homework problems and references for further reading at the end of every chapter so that the conceptual discussion is aided with practice. Aimed at the students of electrical and electronics engineering. The text covers : • Integrated circuit fabrication, devices, and the internal circuit design • Applications of analog integrated circuits such as voltage regulators, power amplifiers, wide-Bandwidth (video amplifiers), modulators, demodulators, phase detectors, voltage-controlled oscillators, D/A and A/D converters • Operational amplifiers—their characteristics, external circuitry and applications • Active filters and switched-capacitor circuits • Voltage comparators and the use of CMOS voltage comparators and CMOS inverters in designing highdensity, low-power applications.
