Summary: Badly organised and hard to read
Review: I bought this book for a professional reference for
CMOS voltage circuits. The information within the
book is arranged very oddly. For example, the chapter
on PTAT voltage/current generation comes before the
chapter on bnadgap voltage references. But a new reader
would probably have no idea why they would want a PTAT
source until they had read the latter chapter.
It's a bit odd really, because the Prof. has published some
good stuff on the web which explains the basics really well.
This book does not even cover the basic ideas all that
well.
Check out the publications of Barrie Gilbert, he does
it much better.
For students, there are almost no worked examples and the
poor book organisation makes it a very hard read.

Summary: not good for beginners
Review: the author though explained few points clearly, did not delve more into cmos design issues in it. there were hardly any examples provided by the author. this book is just a brief introduction to different types of references but nothing much understandable atleast to the beginners.Main improvements to the book can be
(1)more number of solved examples as well as unsolved problems.
(2)more detailed understandable explanation to higher order bandgap references and designing issues for the novice designers.
(3) complicated math made easy to understand
(4) simulation techniques - can provide with some practical spice circuit etc etc. certainly not recommended for beginners.
