The Art of Analog Layout: Why Alan Hastings’ Principles Remain Essential

If you need a legal portable copy, I recommend checking with the publisher (Pearson/Addison-Wesley) for eBook options, or services like O’Reilly Online Learning, Google Books, or the Internet Archive’s controlled digital lending.

First published in 2001 (with a second edition in 2005), The Art of Analog Layout is widely regarded as a foundational text for analog IC layout engineers. Unlike digital layout, which emphasizes automation and density, analog layout requires deep understanding of parasitic effects, matching, shielding, and substrate noise. Hastings bridges the gap between circuit design theory and physical implementation.
