It outlines how to run HSPICE inWindows and UNIX, then delves into the details of creating netlists, simulating them, and using Awaves toplot the results. The appendix to this document serves as a syntax reference tha t may be useful throughoutthe semester.HSPICE is just a program that takes in a netlist (a simple text file), containing a circuit description a ndanalysis options, and outputs the analysis it has done on that circuit. An HSPICE netlist typically has a.sp extension, for example circuit.sp. Although HSPICE produces many output files, the only one that12 WINDOWS VS. UNIX 2you will nee d to …
