Design of Analog CMOS Integrated Circuits

Good overview of MOSfet circuit design. Very much for integrated circuit designers but we parts-putzers can learn something.

TIL: "Delay locked loops". Like PLLs only different.

Much about basics, amplifiers, differential, mirrors, noise, feedback, opamps.

Sadly nothing about BBDs (the 2nd killer app for MOS).

The in-browser display is slow and ugly. The PDF download is much better but 42Megs.

The author is into that field.  I've got a few of his papers on injection locking.  He's written zillions of papers hovering on the boundary of RF and Analog.  Many are on the web.

For Noise, Razavi refers to Y. Tsividis' Operation And Modeling Of The MOS Transistor, which is also on Archive.org.

Mostly 'too deep' for pedal design, though Noise and Pinchoff may stir some thought.

From the late 1930s unto the 1960s, this was the standard beginner text:

First Electrical Book For Boys, Alfred Morgan

This edition has most of the charming 1930s illustrations plus pix of transistors, even Telstar, romp through time.

Ah: the 1938 edition, Cyclotron instead of Telstar:
Things A Boy Can Do With Electricity

This 1957 book is borderline dummy-grade... BUT the introduction is by Lee de Forest! Might be one of the last things he wrote (d.1961). de Forest invented the Grid Audion, a vacuum triode which might amplify (took a lot of development to get there).

For introductory info on the insides of analog ICs these are quite good but mostly cover BJT technology.

1979 Signetics Analog Applications,

Some more technical ones are:

Solomon, "The Monolithic Op Amp: A Tutorial Study",
https://hifisonix.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/James-E-Solomon-Opamp-Tutorial.pdf

Grey and Meyer, "Analysis and Design of Analog Integrated Circuits",  is a must read.   The content changes over time so info in earlier versions might be deleted in later versions (that's mainly to modernize uni courses).

Sangster's main article, pp. 97-110 // MOS-tetrode version, p. 266 ... background on MOS-tetrode, p.259


lots of MOS related goodies in there ... not to mention the introduction of the cassette tape, p. 77

Probably *the* best article on how BBD's work.  I've got those one and a few rare ones from the guys that started Reticon.

Perhaps a few could be on this page,

you're probably referring to Weckler and Buss' paper ... the Reticon guys

I think that *is* the one I was thinking of.  The toc at start looks familiar.   That one and the Philips one make the info in the datasheets look feeble!
