The #1 Practical Guide to Signal Integrity Design―with Revised Content and New Questions and Problems!
This book brings together up-to-the-minute techniques for finding, fixing, and avoiding signal integrity problems in your design. Drawing on his work teaching several thousand engineers and graduate students, world-renowned expert Eric Bogatin systematically presents the root causes of all six families of signal integrity, power integrity, and electromagnetic compatibility problems. Bogatin reviews essential principles needed to understand these problems, and shows how to use best design practices and techniques to prevent or address them early in the design cycle. To help test and reinforce your understanding, this new edition adds questions and problems throughout. Bogatin also presents more examples using free tools, plus new content on high-speed serial links, reflecting input from 130+ of his graduate students.
• A fully up-to-date introduction to signal integrity and physical design
• New questions and problems designed for both students and professional engineers
• How design and technology selection can make or break power distribution network performance
• Exploration of key concepts, such as plane impedance, spreading inductance, decoupling capacitors, and capacitor loop inductance
• Practical techniques for analyzing resistance, capacitance, inductance, and impedance
• Using QUCS to predict waveforms as voltage sources are affected by interconnect impedances
• Identifying reflections and crosstalk with free animation tools
• Solving signal integrity problems via rules of thumb, analytic approximation, numerical simulation, and measurement
• Understanding how interconnect physical design impacts signal integrity
• Managing differential pairs and losses
• Harnessing the full power of S-parameters in high-speed serial link applications
• Designing high-speed serial links associated with differential pairs and lossy lines―including new coverage of eye diagrams
• Ensuring power integrity throughout the entire power distribution path
• Realistic design guidelines for improving signal integrity, and much more
For professionals and students at all levels of experience, this book emphasizes intuitive understanding, practical tools, and engineering discipline, rather than theoretical derivation or mathematical rigor. It has earned a well-deserved reputation as the #1 resource for getting signal integrity designs right―first time, every time.
If you are an engineering who is looking for practical and fast-to-use design guidelines for SI and PI in products, this is THE book for you. The book gives simple equations for design guidelines without derivation throughout the book. However, clear and intuitive explanations are given for each equation. This is even better than rigorous derivation. Also design tips are given throughout the book, which is extremely useful.
However, if you are a academic researcher and rigorous about physics behind equations, this may not be the book for you. As I said, the design equations are given without derivation. But you can come back to this book after you go though other more theoretical books on SI and PI. You will find more intuitive explanation from here than other books, which deepens your understanding. Equations are good but intuitive understanding are more important sometimes.
Anyway, this book is highly recommended to anyone who want to step into SI and PI world.
Ho tolto una stella (4 e non 5), solo per una questione grafica: le figure dentro il libro
sono in bianco e nero. Per il resto sicuramente consigliato.
Getting straight to the point - this is an excellent book and is one that I would highly recommend to any person aspiring to be in, or practicing in the electrical/electronics engineering field. As I progress through the book I have thought to myself over and over again how I wish I would have found this book sooner, or taken a class in college where this book was used.
I was initially introduced to the book through Erics website, the signal integrity academy ( bethesignal.com ) which I received a free trial subscription to through my employer. During this free trial I took the "Essential Principles of Signal Integrity" course, and after that I was hooked. During the online class I was really impressed with the way Dr. Bogatin was able to convey the same concepts I had studied for several years in new ways that focused on building a strong engineering intuition and in doing so facilitated a deeper level of understanding.
The unique value in this book is that it simultaneously teaches the concepts needed to understand and analyze signal integrity problems while also teaching the reader how to be a effective engineer by giving them a myriad of tools which fuel the readers engineering judgement and allow them to have faster time to insight when real problems arise, without compromising the quality or technical rigor of the end product.
Even if you work in another technical field (and electronics isn't your thing) I would still recommend this book (and the EPSI course) because I deeply believe that the problem solving approach taught by Dr. Bogatin is one that can be applied generally and universally to help people become truly effective problem solvers.
