My idol in Analog Design are the people you never hear about in companies all over the world, that are looked over by the PHD's who have their names splashed all over the place.
In California, all the PhD's get the name recognition and publish papers... but can you imagine any of these professors actually working ? That would be a laugh !
So, my idols are the people who have worked for many years and actually KNOW in the REAL WORLD what is happening.
Thank you to all the un-named people who helped make analog design as it is today !

somebody mentioned Razavi - or any other book author.
Could anyone use their books for real design? I mean it is nice to read and refresh the theory but they always use ideal environment for anything they present. When you try to use their stuff over temp, voltage, process corners you would find out what real analog designer has to deal with. Not talking about lead inductance and all that package crap. So to me hero is every one who makes working product!

Eventhough they(razavi&others) are not the important person in designing latest product, but because of them we know the fundamantel of analog IC design...
Maybe they are not heroes, but they are like a main 'root' for an analog IC design 'tree'

Widlar
When I was in T.H. Lee's class, He talked a lot about Widlar, seems he really admires Widlar and his legendary including both amazing analog design work and life style.
At that time, there is no SPICE though I'm not sure about other simulators.
But it's all about mind working and work on the back of envelope!
Of course, right now the CMOS process has more issues than before.

1>Bob Wildar---> Pease was an Wildar's alumni
2> FVZ this guy worked during several years on military purpose he is the best desingner I know.
Better than B.Gilbert ,unfortunately no publication up to know
3>B. Gilbert
Prof Gray and Meyer are two good designers too (the best book to understand analog design).
Razavi and Lee book are not usuful for design purpose , and for Razavi is worst when he met industrial designer , we think hum this guy has got plenty of PHD student .....

Razavi covers most of books so far i know, but havenot read through all.
so, to be an IC designer, there are two choices,one is hiding in school, never come out, and the one is to go to the real world to make some circuit work.
am i right?

Well, not necessarily. Some people work in industry first for some years, then go to the universities to "hide" and do research and meanwhile consult outside the universities for companies. I guess it is all about making money and having fun designing.
To MLR67 - no hidden intentions, but what exactly don't you like in Razavi's books?

You guys forgot as idole in analog design somebody not heard: Nikola Tesla. He was propably the first. Honestly I do not know why he very unknown. Radio, Remote Control,Neon Light, X Ray, MRI, initial radar,even he patented helicopter design etc. that dude holds over 700 fundamental patents world could not have done without them.
http://www.pbs.org/tesla/ this is PBS USA state television

Definitely P.R.Gray!

I also want to know more about R.J. Wildar. I searched online but couldn't find his biography. Anyone has it and wants to share? Thanks!

though I don't know their exact names,
but I think those engineers working in ADI, TI, and MAXIM
are all my idols. because they have designed manymany
excellent products. I don't think those professors are
our idol, I think those people who are dealing with real problem
of this real word are our idols.
best regards

| well, then many new ideas did come from university not industry! Such as pipeline ADC! Also many startups are foundered by professors in school, not by some engineers in those big analog companies! So each has its own value.

I learned the basics of Analog Circuit Design from Sedra & Smith. Before that, I used to read a book called Integrated Electronics by Jacob Millman and Christos Halkias, which really scared me away from analog.
I consider Grey and Meyer as the best authors in this field. And may I suggest reading Roubik Gregorian for Op Amps and Comparators?

tesla was a thoeretician not really a designer.
he founded electromagnetics ....
which layed the foundation for IC Design, RF etc.

Aku budak baru lagi dalam bidang nie...jadi tak la aku kenal yg power2 sgt..but for now
1. Behrad Razavi
2. Anantha Chandrakasan
dan semestinye Mr. Maxwell and Bohr(bapak kpd Quantum Physics)
lepas nie kite masuk era nanotech..mampus la..kire2 sume pakai quantum je..letih:|
