Recommended material for circuit theory and design
Circuits, 3rd edition (2016)
by Fawwaz Ulaby (University of Michigan); Michel Maharbiz (University of California, Berkeley); and Cynthia Furse (University of Utah)
This textbook covers fundamental principles of circuit analysis and introduces students to the allied fields of science and engineering. It includes 32 technology briefs; includes application notes; and instructions to download NI Multisim and LabVIEW student edition software, as well as MathScript software.
Analysis and Design of Elementary MOS Amplifier Stages (2013)
by Boris Murmann (Stanford University)
Fills the gap between general introductions and advanced graduate books to analog circuits. The book can be used in various classroom scenarios, including as an introduction to analog circuits in the junior or senior year of undergraduate study, or to prepare incoming graduate students for an advanced course sequence in analog IC design.
The Art of Electronics, 3rd edition (2015)
by Paul Horowitz
An authoritative book on electronic circuit design featuring 90 oscilloscope screenshots illustrating the behavior of working circuits; dozens of graphs giving highly useful measured data of the sort that is often buried or omitted in datasheets but which you need when designing circuits; and 80 tables (listing some 1650 active components), enabling intelligent choice of circuit components by listing essential characteristics (both specified and measured) of available parts.
Analog Circuit Design: Discrete and Integrated (2014)
by Sergio Franco (San Francisco State University)
The first three chapters emphasize the more traditional discrete design approach and are suited for a first course in electronics, typically at the junior (third year university) level. The remaining four chapters, while more in-depth, are also suited for a junior/graduate-level course for IC designers.

Recommended material for Op Amps and circuit design
Design with Operational Amplifiers and Analog Circuits, 4th edition
by Sergio Franco (San Francisco State University
The book offers design-oriented courses in applications with operational amplifiers and analog integrated circuits. It combines theory with real-life applications to deliver a straightforward look at analog design principles and techniques. An emphasis on the physical picture helps the reader develop the intuition
Op Amps for Everyone, 5th edition
by Bruce Carter
An indispensable guide and reference for designing circuits that are reliable, have low power consumption, and are as small and low-cost as possible
