📘 This slide book presents, discusses, and shows how to understand, develop,and use semiconductor devices to design analog integrated circuits (ICs).The underlying objective is to explain and illustrate how to model, analyze,and design analog ICs using bipolar and MOS technologies. The materialplaces emphasis on basic understanding and critical thinking, in otherwords, on intuitive grasp of how semiconductor devices work individuallyand collectively in microelectronic circuits. Ultimately, the material seeksto furnish the reader with a physical and intuitive view of solid-statecircuits that transcends rigorous mathematical and algebraic formulationsto empower the reader with the tools necessary to design innovative andcomplex ICs.
