The Designer's Guide to SPICE and Spectre® (The Designer's Guide Book Series)
The Designer's Guide to SPICE and Spectre TM is an in-depth guide to circuit simulators from a designer's perspective: the pitfalls of circuit simulation, such as convergence and accuracy problems, are explained in terms a circuit designer is comfortable with. The book gives designers insight into why these problems occur and how to avoid them. It also provides practical advice on how to make many difficult measurements with a circuit simulator, such as loop gain of an op-amp or distortion measurements of such clocked circuits as d-to-a converters and sample-and-hold circuits. Finally, suggestions are given about how to handle difficult classes of circuits, such as oscillators, charge-storage or very large circuits. After reading The Designer's Guide to SPICE and Spectre TM, you will spend less time fighting your simulator and more time exploring, understanding and designing your circuits. Audience: Written for practising analog and mixed-signal circuit designers who are already familiar with the basics of operating SPICE. Useful for anyone who uses a circuit simulator, no matter which, since the focus is on the fundamental characteristics and behavior of circuit simulators in general.

Great Book
I'm an IC designer and i think this book
should be mandatory reading for all
IC designers.It gives me a certain
sense of control over my simulator which is
a huge thing!! Amazing book.I would like to find something
which is similar but covers what are probably more advanced
topics like harmonic balance, pss & qpss analyses.More information
I am the author of this book and I wanted to let you know that if you wished to find out more about it before your ordered it, you can go to its home page, which can be found at http://www.designers-guide.com/Books/. It contains considerably more information about the book, including excerpts.
Amazon would not allow me to post this message to you without giving the book a star rating. So I did my best to provide an unbiased opinion ;-).
-KenIt is a very useful book
It is a very useful book that teach you how to solve your simulation difficulties, easy to understand and everything is written from the design's point of view. So it is a very useful book
