Signal Integrity Issues and Printed Circuit Board Design

From Book News, Inc.
This guide for printed circuit board designers--in particular those lacking a technical degree--describes design principles for boards used in high-speed applications. The volume opens with an introduction to essential electronics concepts. Other topics include, for example, circuit timing issues, voltage dividers, capacitive reactance, crosstalk simulations, and power supply voltages. The president of UltraCAD Design, Inc. in Bellevue, Washington, Brooks is a well-known presenter of seminar s on signal integrity.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Signal Integrity Issues and Printed Circuit Board DesignDouglas Brooks

The definitive high-speed design resource for every PCB designer

In this book, renowned engineer,author, and seminar leader Douglas Brooks teaches PCB designers how tosuccessfully design boards for any high-speed application. Brooks begins withan easy-to-understand electronics primer for every PCB designer, then offerspractical, real-world solutions for every important signal-integrity problem.Based on his legendary seminars, this book offers even more design rules,specific recommendations, examples, illustrations, and diagrams.

Coverage includes—  Essential electronics concepts: propagation, current, resistance, reactance, impedance, phase shifts, and more EMI principles and controls: loop area, uncontrolled differential currents, and common mode currents Controlling signal reflections: transmission lines, proper terminations, and trace layer design Power system stability (bypass capacitor decoupling): Traditional approaches, and techniques based on power-system impedance Eliminating forward crosstalk, and eliminating or controlling backwards crosstalk Power-system conditioning: power-system plane design and correct board stackups Lossy lines and eye diagrams: skin effects, dielectric absorption, and more

Two full chapters of simulationillustrations—ideal for thosewithout access to high-speed simulation tools
