Reading list

  • D. Roy Choudhury, Linear Integrated Circuits. A widely used coursebook with full derivations.
  • R. A. Gayakwad, Op-Amps and Linear Integrated Circuits. Clear and detailed, lots of worked examples.
  • Sergio Franco, Design with Operational Amplifiers and Analog ICs. Modern, practical, the textbook of many graduate analog courses.
  • Walt Jung, Op-Amp Applications Handbook. Encyclopedic cookbook with hundreds of circuits and design tips.
  • Ron Mancini, Op Amps for Everyone. Free PDF from TI. Excellent practical reference.
  • Horowitz and Hill, The Art of Electronics. The op-amp chapter is the best practical introduction in print.
  • Allen and Holberg, CMOS Analog Circuit Design. For when you want to look inside the op-amp at transistor level.
  • Walt Kester, The Data Conversion Handbook. Free from Analog Devices. The bible of DAC and ADC architectures.
  • Phillip Allen and Douglas Holberg's notes; Boris Murmann's lecture notes on data converters (online from Stanford). Excellent free resources for going deeper on ADCs.
  • Datasheets of the parts named in Section 2.5. Reading datasheets is half of analog design.
