Toumazou Chris, Moschytz George, Gilbert Barrie (eds.) Trade-Offs in Analog Circuit Design

Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2002. — 1048 p.With so many excellent texts about analog integrated circuit design now available, the need for yet another compilation of contributions may be questioned. Nevertheless, this book fills a notable void, in addressing a topic that, while a common aspect of a product designer’s life, is only occasionally addressed in engineering texts. It is about Trade-Offs: What they are; the circumstances in which they arise; why they are needed; how they are managed, and the many ingenious ways in which their conflicting demands can be resolved.
