I don't think so. He thinks mixed-signal design is like computer  
programming. But it's not: to do it well you have to start from the  
*physics* of what you're trying to accomplish.

I wonder what tools Paul Horowitz uses these days. *There's* a guy  
who understands mixed signal disign and can write clearly about it.

Kundert's book is what Al got me to buy. It's a sales pitch, not a  
textbook: the signal to noise ratio is very low. Someone who has a  
problem to solve doesn't want a bunch of hype on the advantages of a  
tool: they want a roadmap that will allow them to find a solution.
