What analog electronics reference books are best for designing analog circuits and learning the subject, especially for system-level analog design?

For system-level analog circuit design, the strongest recommendations are *Analog Design Essentials* by Willy Sansen and *Design with Operational Amplifiers* by Franco [#21659397] [#21659401] Another frequently referenced book is *Analog Circuits: World Class Designs*, which was specifically praised for helping understand op-amps and how they are used [#21659401] A broader set of regular references includes *Microelectronic Circuits* by Sedra and Smith, *Electronic Circuits* by Nilsson and Riedel, *Design with Operational Amplifiers* by Franco, and *Microwave Engineering* by Pozar [#21659396] If you later want more IC-focused analog design, other suggestions were *CMOS Analog Circuit Design* by Allen and Holberg, *Design of Analog CMOS Integrated Circuits* by Razavi, *Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation* by R. Jacob Baker, and *Analog Integrated Circuit Design* by Johns and Martin [#21659397]

Hi everybody,

I was looking to Amazon selection of books to see if I can find a book which look over analog electronics and could be my reference while designing analog circuits (instead of constantly looking on the internet, thing that I am currently doing):
"Analog Electronics Books on Amazon":http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_n_0?rh=n%3A283155%2Ck%3Aelectronics%2Cn%3A!1000%2Cn%3A173507%2Cn%3A173515&bbn=173507&keywords=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1312490132&rnid=173507#/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=node%3D173515&field-keywords=analog+electronics&rh=n%3A283155%2Cn%3A!1000%2Cn%3A173507%2Cn%3A173515%2Ck%3Aanalog+electronics

But I though why don't you just ask to a EE community?
So, what's your favorite book(s) and which one do you recommend? Is there one you can't let go when your designing analog circuits? It could be the one I look for!

By the way, I don't mind if the book gets onto some digital electronics and if you have also a reference for digital circuit design, I take it!

Thank you
Francois

Hi Francois,

Lately I've been looking mostly into digital design, especially front-end design. However the analog books I've touched most are:

"Physics of Semiconductor Devices":http://www.amazon.com/Physics-Semiconductor-Devices-Simon-Sze/dp/0471143235/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1312495127&sr=1-1

and 2 volumes of this "one":http://www.amazon.com/Circuits-Filters-Handbook-Third-Slipcase/dp/1420055275/ref=sr_ob_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1312495165&sr=1-1 - "Fundamentals of Circuits and Filters" and "Analog and VLSI Circuits".

but like you, if I get stuck on something I usually browse the forums for answers and books/articles references.

I'd like to point you towards some really good Verilog books if you will ever go digital:

"SystemVerilog for Design":http://www.amazon.com/SystemVerilog-Design-Second-Hardware-Modeling/dp/1441941258/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1312495506&sr=1-1

"SystemVerilog for Verification":http://www.amazon.com/SystemVerilog-Verification-Learning-Testbench-Language/dp/144194561X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1312495555&sr=1-1

"Verilog and SystemVerilog Gotchas: 101 Common Coding Errors and How to Avoid Them":http://www.amazon.com/Verilog-SystemVerilog-Gotchas-Common-Coding/dp/1441944028/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1312495583&sr=1-1

Thank you everyone for your propositions, I will check what book to buy that fit my needs.
I am still a student so it has to worth the price as they are all expensive...

I forgot to mention that I am more interested in analog design for system application (I am not looking into microelectronics).

This one seems pretty interesting: Analog Design Essentials – Willy Sansen

In that case, this helped me understand OP-AMPs and how they're used: http://www.amazon.com/Analog-Circuits-World-Class-Designs/dp/0750686278

From my experience there's no analog system without OP-AMPs.

that is really true , Op-Amps (OTAs) is a golden block for analog design
i am interesting to study Analog -Circuits (World Class Designs)

Basic explanation of analog signals and transducers
Post #9 21659403 19 Oct 2014 01:37

The pool of Electronics knowledge can be divided into two categories—Analog and Digital.
While in digital electronics there are two constant different levels of signal, analog signal remains continually variable.
What analogue electronics basically do is to transmit an encoded simulation by electrical means in which the signal goes through change.

A transducer is employed in such transmission. It is basically a device programmed to convert one type of energy into another. This may include light, sound, pressure or some other physical phenomenon. A microphone is a fine example of transducer which converts sound to electrical signal.
That's JUST the basics of analog actually. To get more beneficial information, get analog electronics tutorials in http://www.electrodiction.com/analog-electronics
