Abstract

The chapter discusses the simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis (SPICE). Computer-based simulation of analog circuit is important because the use of one's preferred computer SPICE program can reduce initial errors and development time. If one uses SPICE simulator correctly, one can drum out circuit errors and nuances before one goes to breadboard. SPICE helps troubleshoot bench problems; it is a great place to try out different hypotheses. The SPICE simulation tool is a good thing; it helps organizing one's thoughts and priorities. One can look for faults in terms of how one thinks the circuit or the system will work versus reality. The best of all worlds is to have one's tools point out where one's mistakes are, so one can initiate corrective actions to fix the circuit. The best place to find these problems is at the beginning of the design cycle, not the end.
