The principles and practices of simulation-based analog integrated circuit design This comprehensive textbook and how-to reference provides clear instruction on simulation-based analog integrated circuit design. Ideal both for graduate students and for professionals, the book shows, step by step, how to effectively develop and deploy analog integrated circuits in for cutting-edge Internet of Things (IoT) and other applications. Written by an expert in the field, Analog Integrated-Circuit Design by Simulation: Techniques, Tools, and Methods lays out practical, ready-to-apply simulation and engineering methods. You will learn how to tackle real-world design problems and avoid long cycles of trial and error. Advanced simulation techniques, operational amplifier design, and analog VLSI circuit design are explained in complete detail. •Teaches simulation as a design tool using NGSPICE, a freeware simulator•Presents the key systematic approaches to the use of simulation in analog IC design•Written by an experienced electrical engineer who holds 11 patents
