The course introduced concepts in a manner that led the student to the  synthesis  of new circuits, not merely their  analysis . But I still felt that there was a more intuitive way to introduce Analog Circuit Design, one that would bring out the beauty of the subject so that the student could ‘stop and smell the roses’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut why a ‘Zen of Analog’…?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the foundational concepts in Analog closely mirror human relationships! The purpose of this book is to take a simplified and intuitive path to unlock some profound secrets of Analog. The protagonist of this book is Ang-Lao, a medieval monk who brings his insights into the Analog world to solve the challenges in human relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book addresses a problem statement that much of Analog Circuit Design tries to solve - how do you realize an  ideal buffer ? It starts with the simple concepts of voltage sources and current sources. From the I-V curve of the MOS transistor, we see how it behaves much like a  Voltage controlled current source  (VCCS). The inherent challenge in getting even a simple two-transistor circuit to work is the conflict arising from having two such current source-like elements in series. The  digital inverter  is shown to be one such circuit that can function like an  analog amplifier , albeit over a narrow range of input voltage. The effect of  loading  on such a circuit is illustrated graphically and is shown as an added challenge in getting it to work in an analog manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHaving understood the complications involved, we see how through the strikingly simple but immensely powerful concept of  feedback , one of the two transistors can be modified subtly to make it behave like a voltage source. In that process, we realize our first approximation to an ideal analog buffer. We then see how manifestations of the same concept leads us to the synthesis of a whole bunch of two transistor circuits -  source followers , common source amplifiers with  gm-load  and with  diode-connected load , and  differential amplifiers  . The concepts used in synthesis of such elegant circuits are also extended to the analysis of much more complex circuits, for example, a  Voltage to Current (V2I) conversion  circuit. We introduce the concept of small signal parameters,  gm, gds , showing the calculations for the gain and output impedance of our circuits, and quantifying how good each of our buffers really are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe narrative switches between concepts of Electronics and the story of Aman-Ra, an engineer from Medieval Egypt. Struggling with his relationships, his guiding light is Ang-Lao, who teaches him the secret to happy relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor some, this book will signal the end of the fear of Analog. For others, it will be the start of a love story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConcepts covered\u003cbr\u003e\no\tI-V characteristics of Voltage \u0026amp; Current sources\u003cbr\u003e\no\tIdeal \u0026amp; non-ideal sources\u003cbr\u003e\no\tControlled sources\u003cbr\u003e\no\tActive and passive elements\u003cbr\u003e\no\tI-V characteristics of a MOSFET\u003cbr\u003e\no\tMOS transistor as a Voltage controlled current source\u003cbr\u003e\no\tDigital inverter as Analog amplifier\u003cbr\u003e\no\tOperating point\u003cbr\u003e\no\tCommon source (CS) amplifier\u003cbr\u003e\no\tEffect of loading on a CS amplifier\u003cbr\u003e\no\tFeedback\u003cbr\u003e\no\tHow can you make a MOSFET behave like a voltage source?\u003cbr\u003e\no\tSynthesis of a CS amplifier with diode-connected load\u003cbr\u003e\no\tAnalysis of a V2I circuit including an introduction to current mirror\u003cbr\u003e\no\tSynthesis of CS amplifier with gm-load\u003cbr\u003e\no\tSynthesis of source follower circuit\u003cbr\u003e\no\tSmall signal parameters: gm, gds\u003cbr\u003e\no\tSmall-signal gain and output impedance\u003cbr\u003e\no\tSynthesis of a differential amplifier\u003cbr\u003e\no\tSynthesis of an Operational amplifier\u003cbr\u003e\no\tRealizing the buffer using the Operational Amplifier\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67924755185909,"sku":"YSL53980","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/8774\/8597\/files\/71vBMyigEnL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793673647","url":"https:\/\/www.newbooks.store\/products\/b00yq6xtw0","provider":"NewBooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
