Understanding high-speed fundamentals and the relationship of speed to distance and how to apply this knowledge is the key to successful designing. Any significant noise problems at the system level can be very expensive and must be solved at the board level during layout. But yet board costs must be managed properly. It is easy to over-design a product, have unnecessary layers and drive the cost of a product up too high. In this book the focus is on what must be understood to take the schematic and transform it into a working PCB design while keeping costs under control.
Emphasis is on digital circuits, though it also is just as applicable to analog.
Information presented in this course can be applied to high-speed digital and analog designs up into the GHz. This book will be of immense value to both circuit designers as well as CAD designers, and those involved in product testing, fabrication, troubleshooting and debug of high-speed products.
