Signal Integrity Issues and Printed Circuit Board Design
The definitive high-speed design resource for every PCB designerIn this book, renowned engineer, author, and seminar leader Douglas Brooks teaches PCB designers how to successfully design boards for any high-speed application. Brooks begins with an easy-to-understand electronics primer for every PCB designer, then offers practical, 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 moreEMI principles and controls: loop area, uncontrolled differential currents, and common mode currentsControlling signal reflections: transmission lines, proper terminations, and trace layer designPower system stability (bypass capacitor decoupling): Traditional approaches, and techniques based on power-system impedanceEliminating forward crosstalk, and eliminating or controlling backwards crosstalkPower-system conditioning: power-system plane design and correct board stackupsLossy lines and eye diagrams: skin effects, dielectric absorption, and moreTwo full chapters of simulation illustrations–ideal for those without access to high-speed simulation tools
