What Are Some Recommended Analog Design Books?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around recommendations for analog design books, highlighting a specific book linked by the user, which features contributions from Jim Williams. Participants endorse this book due to Williams' reputation and suggest additional titles, including "Analog Circuits: World Class Designs" by Robert Pease and "Analysis and Design of Analog Integrated Circuits" by Paul R. Gray, noting their practical insights and historical context. There is a mention of the unfortunate passing of Bob Pease, who also authored valuable texts in the field. The conversation also questions whether the recommended book offers more depth than existing application notes available online. Overall, the thread emphasizes the importance of reputable authors in selecting quality resources for analog design.

Hello,
I was googling for analog design electronic book, which describe the issues in application manner, so i found this book
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0072EJ8H8/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Please share your opinion concerning this book and others if you have.

Regards,
Hisham

Jim Williams being one of the authors is enough to recommend the book. In the link you provided, click on the name "Jim Williams" to read more about him.
 
There is another good one I like called Analog Circuits World Class Designs by Robert Pease. It might be a little basic, but it has good practical and historical facts throughout the text.

Another one I like is called "Analysis and Design of Analog Integrated Circuits" by Paul R Gray etc. It has one of the better explanations for analysis of current mirrors.
 
Bob Pease also has published some good analog design books as Dragon Petter has mentioned. Incidently Bob Pease died in a car crash leaving Jim Williams' funeral.
 
But it seems that the book is a collection of application notes that can be found on linear electronics website, right?
Or it has more explanation than the application note?
 
All good authors mentioned so far.

Take a look at

it's a pdf download, worth printing.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
