Monolithic Phase-Locked Loops and Clock Recovery Circuits : Theory and Design

Rating:
Summary: Only 40 pages
Review: Anyone doing any research in PLL's should read the 40 page tutorial available in this book; but the papers assembeled and inserted do not make this book worth 172 dollars, especially since all of the articles are at least 6 years old.... I am a student, I can not afford two hundred dollars for every book that I find usefull......

Summary: Essential part of any PLL designer's library
Review: If you work with monolithic PLLs and could only have two books, this would be one of them (the other would be Wolaver, though he doesn't address IC issues). This is a very complete collection of journal papers with a few tutorials thrown in. Razavi has an extremely clear writing style, also.
