13.13 Bibliography

Capilano Computing produces books (including software) that explain its schematic editor and logic simulators, LogicWorks and DesignWorks, for PC and Macintosh platforms [ 1995], as well as its Verilog interface [1997]. The book by Ciccarelli [1995] includes a circuit simulator, BreadBoard, with a schematic-entry program.

Miczo [ 1994] covers digital simulation in general. Arora [ 1993] covers MOS models in detail. Carey et al. [1996] cover the mathematical aspects of circuit and device modeling. Cheng and Agrawal [ 1989] cover vector generation from the perspective of testing. Hëorbst s edited book contains papers on simulation [ 1986]. Hill and Coelho [ 1987] cover mixed-level or multilevel simulation. Tuinenga [ 1988], Banzhaf [ 1989], Morris [1991], Fenical [1992], Conant [1993], Nilsson and Riedel [1993], Kielkowski [ 1994], and Lamey [1995] are all introductory books on simulation using the SPICE or PSpice. The book by Al-Hashimi [1995] on PSpice covers both digital and analog simulation. Massobrio and Antognetti [ 1993] cover the internal details of the SPICE and PSpice models. Meta Software s HSPICE User Manual is very detailed and an essential companion for serious users of any flavor of the SPICE [ 1996]. McCalla [ 1988] covers the mathematical principles of circuit simulation. Ogrodzki [ 1994] covers simulation algorithms. Pillage et al. [ 1994] cover newer circuit and system simulation methods as alternatives to the SPICE including asymptotic waveform evaluation ( AWE ). Rao et al. [ 1989] cover switch-level simulation. White and Sangiovanni-Vincentelli [ 1987] cover waveform relaxation simulation. Zukowski [ 1986] is an advanced text on bounding approach to simulation. Divekar [1988] covers device modeling. Fjeldly, Ytterdal, and Shur [1997] cover device modeling and simulation. Two books by Tsividis cover device modeling: the first [ 1987] is an advanced treatment of the MOS transistor; the second [ 1996] includes an introduction to the problems of device modeling.
