Book: Analog Integrated Circuit Design

Authors: Carusone, Tony Chan Johns, David Martin, Kenneth at akademia.no

This is one of the best books in existence on analog integrated circuit design, maybe rivaled by Razavi’s Design of Analog CMOS Integrated Circuits

All information in chapters 1 - 6,9,10,15,17 are part of the curriculum for the exam. These chapter were covered in TFE4152 Design of Integrated Circuits, and TFE4187 Analog CMOS1
