Author Description

This book describes how Spice is used to analyze microelectronic circuits and more importantly, outline how Spice is used in the process of design itself. In many cases, most of the design effort is spent blindly searching for ways to improve the design itself using a brute-force hit-and-miss approach. The intention of this book is to avoid this pitfall and teach the reader what not to do with Spice. This is accomplisthed by keying each example of this text to those presented in Microelectronic Circuits, 3/E, where a complete hand analysis is provided. The beauty of this book is that it can also stand alone as a manual for compuer-aided circuit analysis for microelectronic circuits.
