Signal Integrity Simplified (Hardcover)

This book describes in the simplest possible terms, the signal integrity problems and the fundamental principles needed to understand how the physical design influences signal integrity. KEY TOPICS: Most easily defined, signal integrity is all about how the physical design of the interconnects — printed circuit board traces, connectors, IC packages and cables — corrupt the perfect, pristine signals coming off the chips. The electrical properties of the interconnects play a key role in all electronic products operating above 50 MHz clock frequency, such as computers, wireless, rf and telecommunications products. Any product designer that touches the product can have an impact on signal integrity. The key differentiator between our book and all the others written on signal integrity, is the starting level for the material. Most books either present a lot of mathematical derivation or present formulas as facts, merely describing what they are. Bogatin's book offers explanations that will feed the intuition of the engineers, without hiding behind the equations. MARKET: Signal integrity applies to all digital, wireless or telecommunications products built today and in the future. Product designers for printed circuit boards, connectors, IC packages, wire and cable, enclosures, power supplies, passive components such as resistors and capacitors, and chip designers.
