Analog IC design with low-dropout regulators

"Fully revised and expanded to meet the emerging demands of mixed-signal systems, Analog IC Design with Low-Dropout Regulators, Second Edition, teaches analog IC concepts and explains how to use them to design, analyze, and build linear low-dropout (LDO) regulator ICs with bipolar, CMOS, and biCMOS semiconductor process technologies. 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 techniques developed in this cutting-edge guide."
