A synergistic approach to signal integrity for high-speed digital design

This book is designed to provide contemporary readers with an understanding of the emerging high-speed signal integrity issues that are creating roadblocks in digital design. Written by the foremost experts on the subject, it leverages concepts and techniques from non-related fields such as applied physics and microwave engineering and applies them to high-speed digital design—creating the optimal combination between theory and practical applications.

Following an introduction to the importance of signal integrity, chapter coverage includes:

    Electromagnetic fundamentals for signal integrity
    Transmission line fundamentals
    Crosstalk
    Non-ideal conductor models, including surface roughness and frequency-      dependent inductance
    Frequency-dependent properties of dielectrics
    Differential signaling
    Mathematical requirements of physical channels
    S-parameters for digital engineers
    Non-ideal return paths and via resonance
    I/O circuits and models
    Equalization
    Modeling and budgeting of timing jitter and noise
    System analysis using response surface modeling 

Each chapter includes many figures and numerous examples to help readers relate the concepts to everyday design and concludes with problems for readers to test their understanding of the material. Advanced Signal Integrity for High-Speed Digital Designs is suitable as a textbook for graduate-level courses on signal integrity, for programs taught in industry for professional engineers, and as a reference for the high-speed digital designer.
