Book Description:

This book is entitled Analog Design Essentials because it contains all topics of importance to the analog designer which are essential to obtain sufficient insights to do a thorough job.
The book starts with elementary stages in building up operational amplifiers. The synthesis of opamps is covered in great detail, such that lowest power consumption is always guaranteed. Many examples are included, operating at low supply voltages. Chapters on noise, distortion, filters, ADC/DACs and oscillators follow. These are all based on the extensive amount of teaching that the author has carried out both at universities and companies world-wide. All chapters have been drawn up specifically for self-study. They aim, however, at different levels of understanding. All start with elementary material. Most chapters also contain advanced material, especially from Chapter 9 onwards.
A new format is used for this book. All slides are included on a CD-ROM, as PDF files, and are reproduced in the book, followed by the comments normally given by the teacher. This has the advantages that the material used for teaching is also the material used by the student, and that only one additional aspect is explained per slide. The student can thus easily monitor their progress in understanding.
It is hoped that this new format provides a better structure in both teaching and studying these essential topics in analog design.

Review:
Wrong Name!!
The name Analog Design Essentials is wrong for this book!. It is a collection of slides (most probably from a course the author teaches)with short paragraphs which explain the slides. The selection of topics is very good but random equations are thrown in without any explanation whatsoever. You will have to revert to another book to try to understand some of the things the author is talking about.If you are an undergraduate student, DO NOT buy this book thinking it deals with the basics! Practising analog design engineers might find this book interesting. I bought this book because I have high respect for the author. I've read many papers authored by him and a previous analog design book where he was the co-author which, in my opinion is one of the best books on analog design (sadly not in print anymore!).

Thanks to reviewer BC Chan
Amazon wouldn't let me edit my earlier review.

Reviewer Chan's comments on the CD are accurate. Some figures indeed have illegible labels, 2142 being a worst case. Attempts to copy the pdf file either from Acrobat itself or using Copy/Paste lead to a "Data error (cyclic redundancy check)" menu, and the file is not transferred to disk.

One reason to take the trouble to load into Acrobat is its search feature that allows you to look for all references to "gain boost" for example. That is helpful mostly because the index, table of contents, and cross referencing of this book are really, really poor. Unfortunately, it takes a full 4 minutes to load a 600 MB Chapter from the CD into Acrobat.

Also, references to sources, like (Hosticka, Sackinger) found on p. 82, without further information, force the reader to Google Scholar to find these papers!

Convenience no concern, and scholarship sloppy, but for $65? You can't go wrong.

Review:
Simply Awesome!!
This is a great book, no doubt about that. Although it has an unconventional approach for a book--slides etc.,--it manages to squeeze lot of analog in the end. And that's what that matters. The author himself is an authority on the subject and one can realize the genuine desire-- matched by his efforts--he has, to get the topics to his readers. This book is good as a supplement, a reference, an introductory text or simply revising material for an advanced material. Of course the lack of literature in some instances or detailed formulae for that matter, may leave a reader disappointed at times, but don't let turn you off for you can find those in any standard textbook.
The CD files, unlike observed by another reader, can actually be copied to your hard disk. But they take lot of space, each is the size of a CD. This is for a reason. The CD is nothing but a sort of e-book given free, and I hope someone who is reading this book understands respecting IP as such. Copying a chapter or two for personal or academic use certainly falls under fair copyright use so that shouldn't be a problem either. Of course the publishers don't want you to copy/backup entire text or distribute it. The large file-size is probably meant to prevent that. All-in-all this is a great book and a must have on any serious analog designer's table. Ask your school or company library to buy it if you can't but do try it any which way. In most cases it will be an investment well made.

New teaching style or method
I promise to give the low down on this book. This book is weird in that it is not like a text book. They are all powerpoint/pdf slides the author taught. Each slide has an explanation. THere, that's the whole book. Can you learn like this??? you bet!!! Sedra/smith confuses the hell out me! They don't know how to get to the point or rather withhold information from the reader and let reader reinvent the wheel (not good for undergrad). This book is awesome!! It gives you all the main concept summaries you are supposed to know! No derivations! It is an excellent summary of all the essential concepts, it can get quite advanced. It is book for design oriented people. It can be regarded as unfinished or it can be polished off! Main idea here is the whole book is like: Here is a slide, here is an explanation for the slide.. next slide! Final statement is: This book is a summary of all the important and most essential points in analog design. For you to gather all this information, it would take years and you would have to read sedra/smith a 1000 times. The cd has all the slides. This is a new teaching method! Almost like you are in class!
Hey the author is a european, their teaching styles are completely different. You may actually learn something at their universities!!!(hint)

Review:
A good book
This is a book written on an unconventional pattern. It contains presentation slides and side-by-side the author's comments on those slides. This forms an excellent flow especially if the reader wishes to read the book quickly. It has a downside as well, which is that detailed mathematical analysis is absent (it does not fit the profile of this book). However much of the material is from the author's previous book ISBN: 007036060X which is unfortunately out of print, though still respected by many. But if you can manage to get hold of it, these two books combined make it an absolute delight to read.
