I use this book mostly for referencing command syntax. Most people don't hand enter Spice netlists anymore, but this book is still very useful if you want to no why and how things work behind the scenes. I would have liked more information about advanced device modeling.

I have been using SPICE in its various forms since I was an undergraduate. I have found that this 3rd version, as well as all the other versions (all of which I own), are essential reference works for use of the simulation engine and have found a prominent place in both my home and work libraries. No matter what version of SPICE you use (I use TopSPICE), this work usually provides immediate answers to both common and advanced simulation questions. The author has also written the book in an easy readable style.

Through my career at various organizations such as Hughes, Bellcore, ArryaComm, Booz Allen Hamilton, Tel-Instruments, and US Technologies, not only have I referred to this small text over and over again for simulation purposes, but I have also recommended it to other colleagues and have purchased it for members of my staff.
