CMOS Mixed-Signal Circuit Design

CMOS Mixed-Signal Circuit Design by R. Jacob Baker is an advanced guide that focuses on the design and implementation of mixed-signal integrated circuits using CMOS technology. The book is written from a circuit designer’s perspective, aiming to bring professionals and graduate students up to speed with modern techniques.
The book emphasizes the growing trend in mixed-signal systems where analog signal processing blocks utilize more digital signal processing. This allows for a reduction in the quality of analog components at the expense of increased digital system complexity. The book covers:
• Signals and Filters: It starts with fundamental concepts of signals and both analog and digital filters.
• Data Converters: A significant portion is dedicated to data converters (ADCs and DACs), including topics like signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), quantization noise, and noise-shaping techniques.
• Practical Design: The book provides practical examples and circuit simulations, making it a valuable resource for those looking to implement concepts in a lab or professional setting. It is often cited as a key reference for analog and mixed-signal designers.
