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