This open-source book is meant to be a collaborative effort, bringing together insights from students, professionals, and the broader community of analog integrated circuit designers. It will leverage the new possibilities associated with open-source process design kits (PDKs) and open-source chip design software to build up a knowledge base with reproducible examples in a "live and dynamic" online format.
As of its initial creation in August 2024, it is merely a skeleton with the following structure.
- Part I: Learn to crawl — Square-law transistors, biasing and small-signal analysis
- Part II: Learn to walk — Real transistors, noise, mismatch, and distortion
- Part III: Dare to run — Knowledge base for state-of-the-art circuits

This project was inspired by Vijay Janapa Reddi's CS249R Book and borrows from its implementation. Special thanks to James T. Meech for getting this work off the ground (by porting Chapter 1 of Part I to Quarto).
