MINNIE and HSpice for Analogue Circuit Simulation

This book is an introduction to the use of two software packages, MINNIE and HSPICE, in circuit analysis. It will be suitable for anyone encountering MINNIE and HSPICE for the first time, be they first year undergraduates, or professional designers. Beginning with a simple introduction to the software packages, the user is led through a comprehensive series of tutorials and exercises designed to aid their understanding of a wide range of electrical and electronic circuits. Both passive and active devices are featured, in circuits ranging from sample RC filters to complex wideband amplifiers and pulse generators. The book is unique in its integration of MINNIE and HSPICE as teaching tools and in its highly practical "hands-on" approach to the subject of circuit analysis. MINNIE and HSPICE are both available under the ECAD initiative to all British universities and polytechnics and are amongst the most widely used circuit simulation packages.
