High Speed Digital Design

This best-selling book focuses on the field of knowledge lying between digital and analog circuit theory. The book helps to short cut the learning curve involved in mastering the art of digital design. Focusing on a combination of digital and analog circuit theory, this comprehensive volume will help engineers who work with digital systems, shorten their product development cycles, and fix their latest high-speed design problems. Covers signal reflection, crosstalk, and noise problems that occur in high-speed digtal machines (above 10 megahertz). lncludes checklists that ask the questions an experienced designer would about a new system. Offers useful formulas for inductance, capacitance, resistance, rise time, and Q. Explains the trade-offs between signal cross talk, mechanical fabrication of tolerances, and trace routing density. Presents a methodology for determining how many layrs will be required to route a printed circuit board.
