4 out of 5 stars DIGITAL INTEGRATED CIRCUITS.......2007-08-01

It's a great book,I studied with it during the semester, and it covered all the topics i needed.

5 out of 5 stars excellent book for fundamentals/reference.......2007-03-06

I used the first edition of this book in my graduate class. I found the book well-written with good examples and explanations. It also covers a diverse range of subjects and I still find myself referring to it when I have doubts. If you are having problems with understanding fundamentals, I highly recommend this book as a reference.

5 out of 5 stars The Best "text"book to start Digial IC Design .........2006-12-17

I had this book for both my Undergraduate and graduate level VLSI Design classes. I cant think of other book that would make a perfect course textbook to learn 'Digital' Integrated Circuit (DIC) design. The book starts with device concepts to give you a good understanding the physics behind CMOS technology. Then it introduces the basics of CMOS circuits (inverter analysis) and covers the aspects of digital integrated design such as parastic analysis, logic families, memories, timing and complex architectures etc... The real world design, challenges and technologies are also given in the book through articles, discussions, problems and examples. It gives a good background and teaches the concepts so a designer would be able to choose a correct design paramaters, logic/arch. family and targets such as power/performance/noise/area.

The book does not go deep in to each subject since its intention is intro/intermediate. Also this book is not for serious circuit designers but its a start book to make one. Its the book to learn and broaden your knowledge on designing custom and high performace circuits.. The cons of this book would be that its not a user friendly at the beginning for a fresh starter but it will welcome and get you going pretty quick once you get the style of the author. I would recommend the Uyemura's book (CMOS Logic Design) for uncovered and extra examples to complete this book. And if you are looking more to designing complex high performance circuits, Chandrakasan's book (Design of High-Performance Microprocessor Circuits) would be the one.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Book for Electrical Engineers.......2006-03-29

Great book as it is very clear, methodical, and gives great examples in which you can actually follow unlike some others. I would also recommend going through the problem sets from the authors website online as it really helps solidify the concepts taught in this book. This book is highly recommended for budding VLSI designers or engineers who just want to learn a little bit about VLSI design!

3 out of 5 stars Ok for transistor level ..........2006-01-28


Has some good information at the transistor level. However, the book falls apart after the first time you open it. I returned my first copy and got a brand new one, but same thing happened. The back of the book cracks and pages fall out as soon as you start flipping through the thing. Highly overpriced, as most books of this type are!

3 out of 5 stars Not As Advanced as you would Think.......2006-10-03

I purchased this book along with "Circuit Design with VHDL" by Pedroni. The Pedroni book was supposed to help me with syntax issues and general knowledge of vhdl while I wanted this book to learn some more advanced techniques. I found the two books very similar in level of difficulty. Chapter 8 on the Design of Fast Arithmetic Units and the section in Chapter 5 about designing an LCD controler are about the only advanced topics in this book that teach you how to design in VHDL. The section on implementing a RISC Thumb processor is more of an arichitecture lesson than how to implement it in VHDL on a FPGA. This book is more of an intermediate book than an advanced one. This is a good book don't get me wrong its just not as advanced as I would have liked.

4 out of 5 stars using a finite state machine.......2005-06-20

Perhaps the key idea here might be the use or implementation of state machines in the design of the circuits. For the level of complexity and the number of transistors in a typical chip, you need some systematic means of disciplining the design.

While some readers might readily find other aspects of the book to be more pertinent, to me the paradigm of a finite state machine seems the most fruitful.

1 out of 5 stars Algebra 1 or Calculators for the Stupid?.......2001-05-15

This book pretends to be an Algebra 1 textbook, but is more of a calculator instruction manual. A child who completes a course based upon this book will be highly proficient in the use of his or her calculator, but will not have gained an iota of mathmatical skill or knowledge. If you are considering this book, I suggest you pull the instruction book from the box your calculator came in, it is just as useful and not near as heavy. On the upside, the book has lots of pretty colors.

I am student from Oklahoma. I have used this book in our Algebra I class. This book is truly a terrific book. This book has real-life situations and great examples!

3 out of 5 stars Informative but too detailed for a quick read.......2007-07-16

I had ordered the book on the basis of some good reviews on Amazon. The book is very informative and exhaustive especially the topics on Bipolar and BiCMOS circuits. However, the book is too detailed and can be overwhelming for a beginner. I just wish the author had cut down on the content.

5 out of 5 stars Rnalog layout reference.......2007-06-27

A very good read and reference for anyone taking circuit designs from the simulation stage to physical layout. A more in-depth understanding of how devices work and the impact of layout techniques is provided. More than just a layout instruction book.

5 out of 5 stars Great resource for the working analog layout and design engineer........2006-08-14

I read the pre-print while still in college and continued to use it as i've progressed in my career. This book is a great collection of analog layout techniques for the real world, no analog IC designer should be without it. I continue to refer to it as i design different kinds of circuits that require alternative layout techniques. Great book overall!

5 out of 5 stars Highly recommended for all levels of analog IC designers.......2006-07-21

The most detailed book that I have come across, addressing issues and design practices in analog layout (CMOS and bipolar). It is a combination of extensive layout experience (reflected in easy-to-use thumb rules) and the technical reasoning/nuances leading up to layout decisions. Strongly recommended not only for those starting out with their first design, but also for those who think they have a "feel" of layout practices without really knowing why.

Other comments:
- Content and flow are easy to follow
- Intuitive description of issues
- Process related factors are broadly covered explaining the gist of the matter
- Extensive references for follow-up

5 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended Book On Bipolar & CMOS.......2004-03-16

I own this book, as do several of my co-workers. At the time I purchased it, just after it became available, late 2002 if memory serves, I could find only a few books on the subject, including Dan Clein's 'CMOS IC Layout'. I was most happy with this book to teach analog layout techniques. I judged this book as the best, as it is more detailed, deeper, more technical, broader. (See my review of CMOS IC Layout for more comparisons.) There is a lot of bipolar, but even analog CMOS layout makes use of parasitic bipolar junction tranistors and parasitic field FETs that all high voltage analog mask designers need to deal with. Yes, it is arguably lite on ESD, and, as an experienced analog chip designer, I was sad that I could not find mention that CMOS FET and poly resistor matching is generally scaled by the square root of the area, and alot more engineering level detail could be included in that section. Still, this book is the best for analog layout techniques.

I returned to college after 15 years. Before taking the math placement tests, I studied Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 - I placed into precalculus and received an A in this class. I credit the books for giving me these results - prior to this I was a poor math student. I have just finished calculus (1st class) with an A. I really recommend both of these books. They helped me enormously - and I have regained confidence in my math abilities.

    4 out of 5 stars Good, but not great. .......2007-03-25

    This is a good book, but an incorporated CD for the book, and a more in-depth explanation in certain areas would make the book even better.

    The book has a lot of information but lacks many explanations. The book includes numerous machine design examples, "many are repeated or the author reused them for other examples" and key machine design information which displays various concepts and applications.

    But overall, it is a good Mechanical engineering machine design reference book.

    3 out of 5 stars Great but not perfect.......2005-12-05

    This book is great, it includes lots of information, many examples and real case studies that show you how these concepts can be applied. There is a ton of information in this book and defiantly a great source to have for reference. I did get a CD in mine, and seems to work just fine.

    As for the downsides, many examples are repeated. vice grips, certain setups of shafts, etc. This is annoying because it doesn't express diversity.

    also there are a lot of vague questions, with not very well stated parameters. If the professor understands and embraces this then it is good because it allows you to do some real design engineering where you have to make assumptions. again the prof has to understand this as your answers may vary due to assumptions. I had to learn to annotate my answers to describe every step and assumption.

    overall it is a good book, but seems to lack explanation in a couple areas, but much better than the last book i used, Theory of Machines and Mechanisms by John Joseph Uicker. that book is no good!

    4 out of 5 stars No CD ROM and Nowhere to be Found on Net.......2005-12-05

    Book is worth the price. However, there in NO CD ROM included with the book, and the directions given at the front of the book regarding where to download the software is incorrect. Neither the author's nor the publisher's websites offer the software for anyone except professors adopting the book.

    I am tempted to return the book just for that shabby attention to details.

    5 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK.......2005-11-23

    The best review for this book is in the autor's preface:
    "This textbook is designed to be an improvement over those currently available and to provide methods and techniques that take full advantage of the graphics microcomputer. It emphasizes design and synthesis as well as analysis. Example problems, case studies, and solution techniques are spelled out in detail.
    While this book attempts to be thorough and complete on the engineering-mechanics topics of failure theory and analysis, it also emphasizes the synthesis and design aspects of the subject to a greater degree than most other texts in print on this subject. It points out the commonality of the analytical approaches needed to design a wide variety of elements and emphasizes the use of computer-aided engineering as an approach to the design and analysis of these classes of problems."

    2 out of 5 stars The book you love to hate........2005-11-14

    First off, a little background. I'm a 3'd year technology student, this book was the forces (*cough *cough), assigned material for one of my classes.

    About the book. It covers many important topics related to the mechanical engineering field. As such it is a pretty handy source of reference, and can be used to quicky refresh one's memory in a particular subject.

    The writing style of this book however, is very poor. It is boring, hard to follow and the examples provided are repetitive and do not explain a lot of things. I once voiced my complaint about the book to our professor, to which i got the following response. "Well, this book was written for the university level". If following a university level book is supposed to take more effort than understanding the actual subject matter, then i guess Mr Norton has done his job!

    Book Description

    The CMOS technology area has quickly grown, calling for a new text--and here it is, covering the analysis and design of CMOS integrated circuits that practicing engineers need to master to succeed. Filled with many examples and chapter-ending problems, the book not only describes the thought process behind each circuit topology, but also considers the rationale behind each modification. The analysis and design techniques focus on CMOS circuits but also apply to other IC technologies.

    5 out of 5 stars Every designer in my company has this book.......2007-09-17

    This is by far the best book for analog designer. The only thing I wish to see is to include some simulation examples such as: AC analysis, noise analysis...

    Also, as the technology moves to sub-micron, long channel approximation is no longer accurate. I wonder if author can comment on how to size the transistors for fewer spice iterations.

    Maybe we will see them in the 2nd edition.

    5 out of 5 stars Grown appreciation.......2007-06-02

    The more my knowledge grew, the more I have appreciated returning to this book as a reference compared to any of the others. Razavi's explanations are lucid and directly to the point allowing me to quickly recall/re-understand concepts that I either once grasped and forgot or never really understood in the first place.

    3 out of 5 stars It is OK. There could be better ones.......2006-11-12

    I have used this book in a graduate class. It is good and very rigorous. It has good amount of examples and plenty of end of chapter problems. It is a good treatment of the subject. However, it might be hard as introductory.

    2 out of 5 stars Disappoiting.......2006-03-07

    The book is too theory-oriented; not suitable for engineers. I felt disappointed.

    And the chapters on PLL and switched-cap. are too common-sense! No use at all for practising engineers...I don't want to recommend this book -

    5 out of 5 stars Great book........2006-01-29

    Difficult Side
    Read Sedra/Smith book before trying this one. It is really hard to follow. It's hard to differentiate between small and large signal analysis, since author uses the same notation for both. Watch out!

    Good Side:
    Book is on CMOS analog ICs, so it's specific.
    Book is very thorough. Behzad Razavi explains the function of each resistor in a circuit. Book teaches on a high level. Author put in much effort.
