: Detailed synthesis of op-amps, covering stability, systematic design, and multi-stage configurations.
Most textbooks ignore distortion until the end. Sansen places it front and center. He teaches the model for distortion, showing exactly how to achieve -60dB to -100dB THD. If you are designing audio codecs or high-speed data converters, this section is worth the price of admission alone.
If you design or aspire to design operational amplifiers, data converters, or sensor interfaces, Analog Design Essentials is the Rosetta Stone.
