'CMOS phase-locked loops (PLLs) are essential blocks in nearly all modern electronic systems, so it is hard to overstate their importance. While academic papers and textbooks about PLLs abound, the lack of up-to-date, comprehensive, and clearly-written textbooks about CMOS PLLs have made it difficult for engineers to rapidly acquire a broad understanding of the subject. Design of CMOS Phase-Locked Loops by Behzad Razavi fills this void. It provides an extremely clear, intuitively appealing, one-stop introduction to the subject that is both broad and deep. It is a must-have textbook for engineers interested in learning about the subject, and a useful reference for experts.' Ian Galton, University of California, San Diego

Using a modern, pedagogical approach, this textbook gives students and engineers a comprehensive and rigorous knowledge of CMOS phase-locked loop (PLL) design for a wide range of applications. It features intuitive presentation of theoretical concepts, built up gradually from their simplest form to more practical systems; broad coverage of key topics, including oscillators, phase noise, analog PLLs, digital PLLs, RF synthesizers, delay-locked loops, clock and data recovery circuits, and frequency dividers; tutorial chapters on high-performance oscillator design, covering fundamentals to advanced topologies; and extensive use of circuit simulations to teach design mentality, highlight design flaws, and connect theory with practice. Including over 200 thought-provoking examples highlighting best practices and common pitfalls, 250 end-of-chapter homework problems to test and enhance the readers' understanding, and solutions and lecture slides for instructors, this is the perfect text for senior undergraduate and graduate-level students and professional engineers who want an in-depth understanding of PLL design.
