Which I also strongly recommends!

It gives good insight and analysis in various parts of analog
design, such as op-amps. For instance, current mirrors of
different topologies is being analysed and compared.

It also contains the best discussion on Gilbert cells that I've seen.

You can pick up a lot of usefull stuff which applies not only to
analog custom chip designs, but also to more every day design.

So, what will our first analog chip do? ;O)

Cheers,
Magnus
