The book draws physical insight from topics presented and illustrates how to develop and evaluate analog ICs for today's expanding wireless and mobile markets. Practical examples and end-of-chapter review questions reinforce important concepts and techniquesdeveloped in this cutting-edge guide.LEARN HOW TO:Evaluate power-supply systemsPredict and specify how linear regulators perform and respond to variations in their supplies, loads, and other working conditionsWork with semiconductor devices--resistors, capacitors, diodes, and transistorsCombine microelectronic components to design current mirrors, differential pairs, differential amplifiers, linear low-dropout regulators, and their variantsClose and stabilize feedback control loops that regulate voltages and currentsDesign circuits that establish reliable bias currents and reference circuitsDetermine the small-signal dynamics of analog ICs and analog systemsEstablish independent, stable, noise-free, and predictable power-supply voltagesImplement overcurrent, thermal, reverse-battery, and ESD protectionTest, measure, and evaluate linear regulator ICs
