Learning Analog Synthesis

What's a good text on analog design/synthesis (not analysis)?

Thanks.

I have not seen a book that teaches analog design process. To me it is more like an art using techniques and building blocks picked up over the years. The closest I have seen to teaching process is reading a book like Bob Pease's Troubleshooting Analog Circuits which is filled with his (highly regarded) thoughts on why his approach is what it is. http://www.amazon.com/Troubleshooting-Analog-Circuits-Design-Engineers/dp/0750694998

Another Pease offering is: http://www.amazon.com/Analog-Circuits-World-Class-Designs/dp/0750686278

And diving deeper, Jim Williams' http://www.amazon.com/Science-Analog-Circuit-Design-Engineers/dp/0750670622

Now if you are looking to learn about the building blocks, you would be interesed in filters, computing circuits, and transistor level design. A lot of this info is available from device manufactureres:

TI's Op Amp Applications, document: sboa092a.pdf

Analog Devices published Philbrick Applications: http://www.analog.com/library/analogDialogue/archives/philbrick/computing_amplifiers.pdf (warning, 75MB file size)

Op Amp Applicaitons from ADI: http://www.analog.com/library/analogDialogue/archives/39-05/op_amp_applications.zip

When you say synthesis, I tend to think you are thinking more integrated circuit design. My only experience here is http://www.amazon.com/Design-Analog-CMOS-Integrated-Circuits/dp/0072380322

Excellent references! Thanks a lot!

So it's rather assembling building blocks than synthesizing a whole circuit from zero. I thought we can derive a circuit from the mathematical equations that describe the system, for example output to input signal transfer function.

I came across this one:

Not sure if it's something related...
