Hi,

I'm looking for a good quality SPICE circuit analysis reference,
something that presents an overview of the SPICE language and
describes how to do all manner of circuit analysis with this tool.
I've seen several on Amazon.com that look good:

OrCAD PSpice and Circuit Analysis by John Keown
SPICE by Gordon Roberts and Adel Sedra (companion to Microelectronic
Circuits by Sedra and Smith)

I'd really appreciate hearing from others that have found equal or
better references, books and/or websites.

Thanks,
Tony

My comment of spice is this. it does analyze perfects setup it will never tell you how good or bad the final design is going to be. it is a dumb animal it does exactly what you tell it to do like a PC it is dumb it does exactly what you tell it to do.

Why?

There is the standard Spice3 manual
http://www.anasoft.co.uk/Spice3F5Manual.html
There is the Standard XSpice (Most commercial spices use XSpice) manual
http://www.anasoft.co.uk/xspice_pdf.zip

These cover everything you need to know about the underlining mechanisms of
Spice/XSpice. Ss far as actually *using* the tools, the help systems of the
vendors Spice should be all that is required. Essentially, no one does raw
spice nowadays.

There are lot of extensions in most vendor Spices, some proprietary, the
operation of which are covered in their help. Doing "all manner of analysis"
for these tools are all pretty much GUI driven and specific to that tool, so
I don't see that a generic, paid for spice book, is worth much.
