Product Description

Extremely easy-to-follow due to its natural progression tutorial approach on how to advance from the solution of typical electrical and electronic circuit examples by hand, followed by a SPICE verification through the discussion of simulation results. The first part contains relevant data about SPICE in order to analyze both linear passive and electronic circuits. The latter half provides more detail on such topics as distortion models and analysis, basic algorithms in SPICE, analysis option parameters and how to direct SPICE to find a solution when it fails.

4.0 out of 5 stars Spice made easy with clear thoughtout format., September 27, 1998

By	Neil W.Fisk ([e-mail]) (Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews

This book has just about everthing you want to know about spice from it's history in early 60's, to solving convergance in array of circuits,which are difficult to simulate.I found the book to be useful for it's tables to construct better and more models than I had ever imagined possible.The author does use alot of mathematical expressions to explain the spice syntax, but the format is great, and well thought out.This book is the "toolbox" for spice. Others fall short, but this book I'm gald to have on my shelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good description of the mathematical models used by SPICE, April 16, 1999

By	Torsten Pielenz([e-mail]) (Paderborn, Germany) - See all my reviews

This book incloses most of the mathematical equations of the models used by SPICE and helps good by solving problems with the convergence, written by one of the designer of SPICE A. Vladimirescu

This book answers many of the questions I couldn't find answers to in help files or other books. It also contains much which is found in help files, but I find having it all in one book is easier than wading through the multiple .pdf's that help files have become.
