Advanced Signal Integrity for High-Speed Digital Designs

<b>A synergistic approach to signal integrity for high-speed digital design</b> <p>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.</p> <p>Following an introduction to the importance of signal integrity, chapter coverage includes:</p> <ul> <li>Electromagnetic fundamentals for signal integrity</li> <li> <p>Transmission line fundamentals</p> </li> <li> <p>Crosstalk</p> </li> <li> <p>Non-ideal conductor models, including surface roughness and frequency-dependent inductance</p> </li> <li> <p>Frequency-dependent properties of dielectrics</p> </li> <li> <p>Differential signaling</p> </li> <li> <p>Mathematical requirements of physical channels</p> </li> <li> <p>S-parameters for digital engineers</p> </li> <li> <p>Non-ideal return paths and via resonance</p> </li> <li> <p>I/O circuits and models</p> </li> <li> <p>Equalization</p> </li> <li> <p>Modeling and budgeting of timing jitter and noise</p> </li> <li> <p>System analysis using response surface modeling</p> </li> </ul> <p>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. <i>Advanced Signal Integrity for High-Speed Digital Designs</i> 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.</p>
