How to start preparation for Analog Circuit design from basics to advanced

suggest me some good site to become perfect in analog circuit design

It's impossible to be a perfect analog designer. :wink: But a good start is here. If you understand everything in those tutorials you'll be well on you way to being an analog designer.

And to help understand the functioning of analog circuits you should become familiar with analog Spice simulators such as the free LTspice from Linear Technology. It includes a good tutorial and examples of many analog circuits to help get you started. That will help you experiment with the operation of various circuits without having to built them all or zapping a component with an error in your design. Simulators aren't perfect but chances are, if the simulation doesn't work, then neither will the real circuit.

I completely agree with chrutschow`s contribution - except the following:
Simulators aren't perfect but chances are, if the simulation doesn't work, then neither will the real circuit.

What does this mean: "...doesn`t work" ?

Do you mean: ...if the results are not as expected? (A simulation program will "work" - even if the input file contains errors).

My comment: It is very important that the user of a circuit simulation package have an idea how the results should approximately look like.
Otherwise, he is not able to detect any error which he perhaps has made during preparation of the simulation.
Example: A circuit with opamps will show a result even in case the powering voltages have been forgotten.
Fazit: Don`t blindly trust a simulation result. Instead, try to verify its correctness.

Hi dear LvW and crutschow and prafvik
I agree with LvW and crutschow .
Sometimes somethings are impossible . there is no human , that we call him/her perfect ! humans are not complete . and the reason is thus humans will need each other so they will be kind instead of each other and will try to complete each other exactly like a class AB complementary amplifier ha ha !
I've saw many of the companies till now . in an office , there were a group of design . just analog section ! someone was specialist of creating square waves . another one was specialist for triangle wave ! and ... etc .
It means every one have an area of interest . which if follow it will earn much of success . but a human can't learn everything ! ( focusing on interest ) I'm an analog designer but not in every section of analog . just some sections which are in my interest ! it is what i've learned till now .



Ok besides these issues i've some suggestions prafvik !
I can introduce some fascinating books for starting analog .
You need to read about micro electronics . and some books in parallel with that !
For micro electronics , you can refer to the fundamentals of micro electronics by Behzad Razavi or perhaps micro electronics by Millman . or perhaps Adel sedra .
One of the most brilliant books for parallel reading is Practical electronics for inventors by paul scherz . it is really fantastic for my opinion .
Thomas Floyd has many interesting books too . and many other books .
( i.e : for being a good analog designer you need to read more and more and never stop the reading and making mistakes too ! and try to simulated circuits and test them in practice too and compare result of simulation with the practical situation then you'll get what LvW told as well which is pretty good )

Oh sorry if i wrote so much ! :wink:
Best Regards to dear LvW and crutschow
And best wishes to prafvik

Of course, in a literal sense, a simulation will always "work". ;-) My use of the term was in the U.S. vernacular, meaning the circuit being simulated did not work as expected.
