A great book finally makes it in print. Dec 30, 2005
By Winfield Hill
Hans Camenzind is the famed designer of one of the most popular ICs known, the '555 timer chip. But that was then, this is now, and finally we're all the beneficiaries of Hans' fine new book. This tome has been freely-available online for a while now, so I've leafed through it and have appreciated what I've seen. Thankfully we can now purchase the printed book and read it at our leisure, in the bathroom (that's meant as a compliment) or out on the deck (try doing either of those with your laptop). My order just went in. :-) Now it can rest in a well-earned spot, my bookcase!
Hans' book has the meat we linear-IC-using Analog designers need to gnaw on: plenty of interesting and inspiring stuff, detailed understanding, good reference material, and as a bonus it's nicely illustrated, too. Recommended.

Excellent Reference Jan 15, 2008
By Jay A. Abel
"roadkill on the information superhighway"
Very clear exposition crammed full of examples, reminiscent of my other favorite electronic design book, "The Art of Electronics", by Horowitz and Hill.
A very thorough survey of the field with lots of ideas. The circuit examples start simple and become more complex in each section, each new circuit slightly higher performance than the last, allowing you to grasp the fundamentals as well as to investigate improvements.
This book is an excellent transition for people who have worked on discrete analog designs who would like to learn more about analog design at the chip level.
Good overview, inexpensive Oct 31, 2009
By J. Doll
A handy reference book. Most chapters explain a concept with a simple circuit and then work their way up to more complicated but better performing designs, discussing the trade offs along the way. Worth having, especially considering the low price.
A great book for analog designers Feb 21, 2009
By J.Yazbek
This is a book that is worth reading. The author is a real world analog IC designer and his writing style and approach to the subject turns a tricky subject in a very interesting reading. The book is full of lots of insights that only someone with a real experience in the field can tell us. He uses an approach favouring circuit simulations through Spice to illustrate his points instead of the traditional mathematical only approach and this makes the difference, turning it in a easy and insightful reading. Highly recommended.
Anthology Jun 29, 2008
By Mohammad Omer
"Umer"
It reminds me of the Anthology of English passages that we read in high schools and junior years. A delightful read from the inventor of 555. Very good selection of ideas and circuits to present, in a small paperback that you could carry on Euro Train for a trip spanning a week.
