This practical handbook fills in gaps that other textbooks on high-speed design don't discuss, covering every aspect of high-speed board-level digital design. Several design examples at high Gigabit per second data rates are presented. Discusses highest-speed logic and interface families of devices, relevant applications, and device speeds versus how far signals transmit with good signal integrity. A quick-reference overview of each device family is also provided. High-speed design rules are presented for both engineering design and printed circuit board layout. Emphasizes designing high-speed backplanes, driving cabling, bus architecture and topology. Discusses IBIS and SPICE modeling, simulations, design processes, and over 30 design automation tools. Quantifies signal integrity using jitter and bit error rate measurements, eye diagrams, time-domain reflectometry and transmission. Details high-speed transmission line and parasitic effects, cabling, connectors, single-ended/differential terminations, lab test equipment, and intellectual property. Dedicated chapter on fiber optics and when to use.

TOM GRANBERG
High-speed digitaldesign—Complete, current, and practical
Practicing engineers whowork with high-speed digital designknow that a thorough, fully up-to-date resource is crucial for keeping pacewith rapidly changing technologies. Senior and graduate-level engineeringstudents need a similar resource, but with added introductory material andplenty of exercises. Only one book fills the need of both audiences—Handbookof Digital Techniques for High-Speed Design, by electronics expert TomGranberg.
This practical handbookcovers every aspect of board-level design, starting with the basics of designtrends, SerDes and bus technologies, and signal integrity. In-depth topics includememory technologies, fiber optics, modeling and simulation, design tools andthe design process, CML controlled-impedance drivers, differential andmixed-mode S-parameters, and the emerging protocols and technologies of RapidIOand PCI-Express. Tom Granberg also features major, detailed high-speed designexamples—including a BLVDS SerDes design and a design with highgigabit-per-second serial links using WarpLink devices.
