Synopsis

This book is a companion to the original book by Johnson and Graham, High-Speed Digital Design: A Handbook of Black Magic, Prentice-Hall, 1993. The two books may be used separately, or together. They cover different material. KEY TOPICS: High-Speed Signal Propagation delves into the issues relevant to signal transmission at the upper limits of speed and distance. This book shows you how to transmit faster and further than ever before, considering today's digital networks and wireless devices. You'll find it packed with practical advice, including material never before published on the subject of high-speed design. Johnson also presents a complete and unified theory of signal propagation for all metallic media from cables to pcb traces to chips. It includes numerous examples, pictures, tables, and wide-ranging discussion of the high-speed properties of transmission lines. This is not yet another book on the subject of ringing and crosstalk. It's about long, high-speed channels operating at the upper limits of speed and distance. EDN Magazine will feature and 1- 1/2 page excerpt from Johnson's book each month, for seven months leading up to the book's publication. MARKET: The reader should know what a transmission line is, and have some general understanding of the relationship between the time domain and the frequency domain. Digital logic designers, system architects, EMC specialists, technicians, and printed wiring layout professionals. Anyone who works with long, high-speed signal channels fighting tradeoffs between speed and distance.

From the Back Cover

Raves for Dr. Johnson's previous classic, High-Speed Digital Design!

"....one of the finest efforts to come along in the field of applied high-speed digital design because of its focus on providing tools for the whole design team bringing a high-speed product to life. For all the PCB designers and circuit designers out there, buy it; read it; keep it." -- Dan Baumgartner, Printed Circuit Design

Faster and farther: State-of-the-art signal transmission techniques

In High-Speed Signal Propagation, Howard Johnson and Martin Graham bring together state-of-the-art techniques for building digital interconnections that can transmit faster, farther, and more efficiently than ever before. Packed with new examples and never-before-published high-speed design guidance, this book offers a complete and unified theory of signal propagation for all metallic media, from cables to pcb traces to chips. Coverage includes:

• Managing tradeoffs between speed and distance
• Physical theory of signal impairments: skin and proximity effects, dielectric loss, surface roughness, and non-TEM mode propagation
• Generalized frequency- and step-response models
• Calculation of time-domain waveforms from frequency-domain transfer functions
• Differential signaling: Edge-coupled and broadside-coupled differential pairs, bends, intra-pair skew, differential trace geometry impedance, crosstalk, and radiation
• Inter-cabinet connections: Coax, twisted-pair, fiber, equalizers, and LAN building wiring
• Clock distribution: Special requirements, repeaters, multi-drop clock distribution, jitter, and power filtering
• Simulation: Frequency domain simulation methods, Spice, and IBIS
