This unique book contains all topics of importance to the analog designer which are essential to obtain sufficient insights to do a thorough job. The chapters are based on the extensive amount of teaching that the author has carried out world-wide, and they have been drawn up specifically for self-study. A new format is used for this book. 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.
