Ask HN: Best Course on Chip Design?

Have a look at Hans Camenzind's "Designing Analog Chips"[0][1].

If it just about learning chip design then there are two ways you can go about it:

1. Get a job in a VLSI/EDA company(Qualcomm, Synopsys, Cadence, Intel etc) as a software engineer and slowly switch teams and learn.

2. Get a basic understanding through courses like Nand to Tetris, or any other VLSI course; then buy an FPGA and tinker with it until you are reasonably confident.
